“Can a decades-old on-prem/cloud construction ERP remain the operating system for specialty contractors by curating payments partners rather than building embedded finance itself?”
Jonas Construction has been a construction/service ERP since 1990, acquired into the Constellation Software portfolio and now sitting under CORA Construction Holdco. Rather than building its own embedded finance stack, Jonas has consistently taken the CSU playbook: bolt vetted payment/AP partners (globalVCard, Comdata, Gravity Payments, and now sister-company Constellation Payments) onto a stable ERP core. Its embedded finance surface area is limited to AR card acceptance and AP virtual-card disbursement — no BaaS, no lending, no card issuing of its own.
Jonas Construction processes payments through Gravity Payments and Constellation Payments.
Jonas Construction's lending and capital products are provided by Comdata.
Jonas Construction's payroll is powered by Jonas Payroll (in-house).
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 4 layers in Jonas Construction's stack: Payments / PSP (Gravity Payments and Constellation Payments); Lending (Comdata and Comdata virtual credit card vendor payments (with optional line of credit)); Payroll (Jonas Payroll (in-house)); Spend / AP (Comdata and CSI globalVCard).
Jonas Construction is founded in 1990 and headquartered in Markham, Ontario, Canada.
