What do you like best about Raken?

Raken takes a lot of the safety processes in construction that field managers (superintendents, foreman, etc.) are tasked with and puts them all in one simple place with common sense tools to speed up documentation, reporting and issue tracking on a construction jobsite. The app is a one stop shop for users to input loads of information that used to be inputted one by one in separate software programs, with pen and paper, or forgotten about and never captured at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raken?

Some of the push notifications received on the mobile app are redundant or not applicable to how I use the app. Some of the input fields in the reporting template are not very flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Raken:

Watch all of the tutorial videos on Rakens homepage. Some of them might seem obvious, but you will learn some good tips and some tricks on using the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Raken solving and how is that benefiting you?

Raken helps Superintendents accurately complete their daily reports and share critical information with the project team. Raken collects and organizes information for record, in case the user ever needed to look back at activities completed on a certain date, weather, safety or project issues identified.
