Overview
Raken is a cloud-based, mobile-first construction management platform built to capture field data on the jobsite and turn it into structured project records. Crews and superintendents use the mobile app to log daily reports, photos, notes and safety observations directly from the field, which Raken automatically compiles into shareable PDF daily reports.
The platform's core areas are daily progress reporting, time and production tracking, and safety and quality management, aimed at general contractors, subcontractors, heavy civil firms and specialty trades of all sizes. It replaces paper logs and spreadsheets with a single mobile workflow, then feeds that data into a web dashboard for office staff and into connected accounting, payroll and project management systems.
Raken markets itself as the field-data layer that sits alongside a company's existing ERP/accounting and project management software (e.g., Procore, Sage, QuickBooks) rather than replacing them, syncing time, cost-code and production data to eliminate duplicate entry between the field and the back office.

Raken — frequently asked questions
