None of this needs a big-bang cutover. Most teams run both tools for one cycle and compare capture rates before switching anyone off.
Capture works on your existing card feeds. Nothing is reissued before you can compare receipt quality.
Connect your ledger and map categories one time. The coding rules then apply to every receipt and bill.
Once capture works, bring supplier invoices onto the same ledger as card spending, in one view.
Move card issuing when the numbers favour it. It isn't required to change where receipts come from.
