What This Recognition Means for eBacon and Construction Payroll Teams
eBacon has been named in Construction Executive's 2026 Top Construction Technology Products™ list, recognized for its certified payroll software and Bona Fide Fringe Trust benefit administration. Construction Executive is a leading trade publication covering the business side of construction, and its Top Tech™ list is one of the most watched rundowns of the software companies building for contractors.
The list itself works like this: each year, Construction Executive contacts more than a thousand technology firms serving the construction industry and asks them to complete a detailed nomination form covering their product lineup, whom the product is built for, how it is sold, and how many people actually use it. There is no fee to participate, and not every firm that applies makes the final list. That structure is what gives recognition weight. It is a snapshot of which products are in use, not a paid placement.
Why eBacon Was Recognized for Certified Payroll and Fringe Benefit Management
eBacon's certified payroll software and Bona Fide Fringe Trust were both named to this year's list. Both products solve a version of the same problem: certified payroll and prevailing wage compliance require exact numbers, and exact numbers are hard to produce by hand across multiple projects, wage determinations, and pay periods.
On the certified payroll side, eBacon connects time tracking, wage determinations, and reporting into one workflow, so contractors are not rebuilding a WH-347 report from scratch every week. On the fringe side, eBacon administers Bona Fide Fringe Trust contributions directly, calculating amounts against the correct prevailing wage determination and giving employees weekly access to their benefits, instead of leaving fringe as a manual, once-a-year reconciliation headache.
What This Recognition Means If You're Evaluating Payroll Software
Being named to a list like this is not just a marketing point. For a contractor comparing certified payroll platforms, third-party recognition like this is a useful shortcut. It means a publication that talks to more than a thousand construction technology companies a year looked at eBacon's certified payroll and fringe trust tools specifically and judged them worth including alongside the rest of the field. If you are researching options, eBacon's certified payroll software page walks through exactly how the reporting and fringe administration works day to day.
eBacon's Reaction to the Recognition
"Being named to Construction Executive's Top Tech™ list validates what we hear from contractors every day. Certified payroll, fringe compliance, and field operations are all hard to get right by hand, and that's exactly the problem we built eBacon to solve." — Jason Knight, VP of Revenue, eBacon (right)
