RAKEN review
Bottom line
RAKEN is a field-first platform that turns daily reports, time cards, and safety checklists captured on a phone into shareable project records. Its clearest strength is how quickly crews can start using it, with subcontractor collaborator reports and accounting integrations that cut re-entry. The main cost to watch is that pricing is not published and there is no free plan, only a free trial. It suits subcontractors and general contractors that want field data flowing to the office every day.
What is RAKEN?
RAKEN is a field management platform for construction companies. It closes the gap between the jobsite and the office by collecting daily progress reports, time cards, production data, and safety documentation from crews on mobile devices and sharing that information with project teams in real time. The platform is aimed at reducing missed daily reports, lost paperwork, and disputes over what happened on a site.
Day to day, a field supervisor logs crew hours, adds notes, photos, and videos, and completes custom checklists in the mobile app, and that data syncs to the web app. Voice-to-text speeds up entries, and offline access lets crews keep working without a connection. At the end of the day, the software generates a daily report as a PDF with the company logo, brand colors, and that day's weather, which can be shared through automated email. General contractors can give subcontractors their own collaborator reports, which are indexed into the master project report once signed. Segmented daily reports break work down by supervisor, shift, or location, and each segment can be downloaded separately or combined.
RAKEN serves subcontractors, general contractors, and specialty trades including electrical, concrete, mechanical, excavating, roofing, plumbing, painting, and steel. It works for small and mid-sized firms as well as enterprises. Pricing is not published, so buyers request a quote through sales, and a free trial is available. The platform connects to accounting and payroll tools such as QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, Viewpoint Vista, Sage 100, and Paychex, along with project tools such as Procore and Bluebeam Revu.
What sets RAKEN apart is its field-first design. Rather than a back-office system with a mobile companion, it is built so crews can capture data as they walk the site, with daily reports, time tracking, production tracking, and safety tools kept in one place. Its accounting integrations are designed to move approved hours into payroll and job costing without re-entry. AI-generated daily report summaries highlight key issues without manual review of every entry.
