NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2025 – Knowify, a leading project management platform for trade contractors, has joined forces with eBacon, a specialized provider of prevailing wage payroll and compliance solutions. The partnership aims to simplify payroll execution, fringe benefit compliance, and certified reporting—helping contractors save time and improve profitability.
Through this collaboration, contractors can now create detailed prevailing wage labor rate templates in Knowify that incorporate hourly wages, fringe benefits, union costs, and labor burdens. This data flows directly into eBacon, where payroll is processed, fringe benefits are managed through its Fringe Benefit Trust, and certified payroll reports are generated in compliance with federal and state requirements.
“The Knowify + eBacon partnership gives contractors a financial edge by combining precise budgeting and job costing with payroll processing and fringe benefit trust compliance,” said Marc Visent, CEO & Co-Founder of Knowify. “Channeling fringe benefits into a compliant trust reduces taxable payroll while preserving employee benefits—helping contractors become more compliant, cost-effective, and competitive.”
Jason Knight, VP of Revenue at eBacon, echoed the sentiment, adding: “Channeling fringe benefits into a compliant trust reduces taxable payroll while preserving employee benefits—helping contractors become more compliant, cost-effective, and competitive.”
