It doesn't matter if it is billing, recommendations, walking a non-tech employee through logging on, assisting on feature access or training, this company is by far one of the best in customer service and the level of power for field reporting is superior to anything we have had in the past! Pros 1\. Cloud based (no expensive servers, no storage limits) 2. Extremely easy to use 3. Allows Foremen/Superintendents to have very detailed field reports 4. Can share photos, recordings, weather, and reports with a link vs. large emails 5. Can track jobs by crews, employee, and cost codes 6. Easily document weather delays 7. Voice recording allows for a LOT of flexibility and complete detail 8. Phone, ipad, tablets or desktop are part of the accessibility with just a logon 9. All this at an affordable price 10. If you need to go to mediation and/or court, this is quite the electronic storage 11. Allows for employee to sign the time/work performed and no accidents 12. Easily modify your daily field report for different jobs. Cons 1\. We started when it first launched and it didn't have all the features but they were listening and added new things constantly 2. Would like to see more gps functions later for time card validating Review Source Response from RAKEN October 30, 2018 Thanks for your time writing this review and feedback, Aneisha!

Administrative Assistant Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Needs improvement" December 2, 2024 3.0 It's okay but unfortunately, I have worked with better systems. Pros It's an okay system for timecards, however, you have access to everyone's timecard in this system. It also doesn't allow you to sign your timecard daily. Cons I stored my signature on file however I get an email notice every week to review and sign my timecard, however, it does not allow me to just insert my stored signature so I have to write it every time. It is very annoying and time-consuming. Review Source EB Ephraim B. COO Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awesome Customer Service" October 28, 2024 5.0 Very positive all the customer service reps have been very positive and easy to work with. Pros The ease of access and the usability of the app. Cons No clock in clock out time clock option.

Cons Connecting to other software for reporting/dailys etc Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Reason for choosing RAKEN Cost was much more inexpensive to go with for similar tools that we use Switched from [Fieldwire](https://www.capterra.com/p/142801/Fieldwire/) Better software.

Safety Coordiantor Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Construction App by far!" October 1, 2024 5.0 I have about 20 pounds less paperwork on my desk week to week thanks to !😂 Pros After getting into the app it has changed the way we monitor our jobs. It’s been a great addition to our company! Cons I can’t say what I like least. It’s a really good app with great customer support. Alternatives considered [SALUS](https://www.capterra.com/p/178999/Salus-Pro/) Reason for choosing RAKEN is just better all the way through Switched from [Dataforma](https://www.capterra.com/p/130599/Dataforma/) Dataforma was very difficult to use and support was non existent Review Source BM Benjamin M. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Buono Construction Raken Review " July 22, 2025 5.0 One standout aspect of our experience has been the support from \[sensitive content hidden\]. She’s been absolutely amazing—responsive to all our inquiries and consistently providing detailed guidance on the application's features and best practices. Her support has made our onboarding and continued use of even smoother. Pros has been a fantastic addition to our toolbox. Its ease of use—from project budgeting to scheduling—has streamlined our daily operations. The ability to send detailed reports to our primary contractors provides a clear visual of progress and activities on-site. It’s made communication and documentation much more efficient. Cons One area for improvement would be mobile access for administrative tasks. For example, adding a new employee requires switching to a desktop, which can be inconvenient in the field. Expanding mobile functionality would make an already strong platform even better. Review Source JN Jeffrey N. ceo Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Top Teir Team" July 23, 2025 5.0 very friendly and knowledgeable support team. easy to navigate and learn the system. Pros is user friendly, easy layout and functionality. anytime ,yes ANYTIME i needed support it was seconds away, respectful helpful and real (not a BOT). Thanks Team Raken Cons deciding to use work log or timecard. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Superintendent Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Superintendent " July 30, 2025 5.0 Would recommend even just to get daily information on multiple projects. The information flows to the entire team. Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] was great to work with. Very responsive/ knowledgeable and easy to speak to. Customer service was on point Cons Was tough starting from scratch but with the team we worked out issues easy. It was a bit of an issue to connect with our accounting software. Review Source AV Anand V. Prohect Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Daily Tracking" April 4, 2024 5.0 Pros Tracking makes a life lot easily with the and can upload all the photos to the daily logs. Cons Not Applicable and it has no cons to my knowledge Switched from [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Expensive and many companies cannot afford the software Review Source TT Theodore T. Superintendent Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" October 14, 2024 5.0 I have been a user of for nearly 10 year and have introduced and used in two different construction companies. Pros I find the app easy to use and navigate. It is only limited to what you input into the app. Cons I cannot think of any cons at this time. Review Source MO Marika O. Admin Executive Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Raken is great!" October 28, 2024 5.0 Very easy app to use, it has a lot of great tools to report whatever is needed in the field. The tracking of safety is great just in case we get audited. Pros We are using it for the ease of the JHA feature, it's simple and easy for the guys! Cons We are a small company so cost matters to us probably more than a larger company, so the price was what make us take a pause before ordering. Review Source RM Ryan M. Owner Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great when it works." March 12, 2025 1.0 Pros The features and interface were exactly what we were looking for. Cons The mobile app did not always work as expected. Review Source TH Tonja H. Weatherization Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Coordinator" October 24, 2024 5.0 We were pleased with the system, but we are government funded and were required to use their system. Pros User friendly. The system provided us with all the data that was required to report out on Cons Unable to integrate with other systems, the state required us to use their system and they would not pay for another system plus it would require dual entry. Review Source AS Andrew S. President Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Does NOT integrate with Sage300" August 3, 2024 1.0 Terrible!! Complete disconnect from the sales person who made all the promises. Your are then passed on to a ‘Customer Success Manager’ who processes your set up and sends it off to IT coders in what they call “I generated a ticket”. But coders are absolutely inexperienced in construction cost coding. And cannot deliver what sales committed to. Rakens left hand does’t talk to the right hand. Sales make commitments that are not achievable. And there’s no response to “who can I contact to resolve this problem?” 21 weeks still waiting. Pros I was sold a time card app that would integrate with our Sage300 cost coding and it would be up an running in 6 weeks Cons 21 weeks later and counting and has not delivered a working app! I’m still waiting. More frustrating, they’ve completely refused to refund, address, fix or otherwise acknowledge this problem, except to say “I will look into your request” I have no working app. Yet they have my money. I am happy to share all docs to prove this, contact me I’ll gladly publish/provide all emails. Review Source SH Steve H. Resource Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Resource Manager's Perspective on Raken" April 8, 2024 5.0 I would say it has been a good overall experience. Especially since this is the first and only construction app that we checked out and immediately put to use. We were able to add about 9 jobs in a two week period as it was being put into use. Pros It consolidated into one program that we could utilize for tracking job costs, work done, employee hours and materials used on the job. Cons At times, it does seem to be a little pricey when adding a new "seat at the table." Review Source JW Jennie W. Managing Director, PM Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Functional Program that has the potential for so much more." November 10, 2022 4.0 Pros It is easy to start using and requires minimal instruction. The daily report is nice once it is processed. Cons The updates that occur seem to down grade the system. There has not been an update that we have been excited about. The last one wiped out many of the things we liked. Review Source MC Mark C. Superintendent Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Program is very adaptable" April 4, 2024 4.0 It’s the next step in evolution for both the construction and management whether that be from an office side or a site side Pros With very little training, anyone, and everyone can at least use some function of the app, and be useful and productive with it Cons Good is not cheap and excellent is even more expensive Review Source WL Wayne L. Project manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "B&E review " April 5, 2024 4.0 Good really helpful and like using it Pros Helps me save time and keep track of daily works done and also log the weather etc Cons Some small tweaks would help me. But the team are looking at this Review Source MS Matt S. Project Mgr Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Raken is Perfect Tool for Small Subcontractor!" April 3, 2024 5.0 Pros Our small company is able to do all necessary project documentation and tracking in . Cons WE would like to have a more seamless integration with our Quickbooks accounting software. Review Source LD Larry D. QC Manager Mining & Metals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not the right product for mining construction" September 15, 2022 2.0 I am a Quality Control manager. In addition to the inefficiency of its daily use, has CAUSED us a loss of information on many of our daily reports. Raken puts me and my company at risk of supplying incomplete information to our client. This is unacceptable and I would not recommend this software. Use of this product has been mandatory between contractors on this Federal underground project, but we have found it to impede our work and not be as time-saving and efficient as the company claims. Pros Ability for all users to edit or add data to the same document Cons Glitchy. Not stable. is limited to Internet Explorer and doesn't work well with that. I use other browsers by choice and Raken forces me to use I.E.. Much data has been lost due to Raken's inability to save attachments consistently. Sometimes they save, sometimes they pretend to save and disappear. Raken does not work well without internet or phone signal (like in an UNDERGROUND MINE). If one user is logged on, another user's interface with Raken is slowed down significantly.Editing equipment and crews is tedious and has to be repeated every day for every report. Reason for choosing RAKEN No choice. Federal project requirement. Review Source AG Alexander G. Foreman Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "S- br is is using program on all job site" April 4, 2024 5.0 Pros Everything from recording issues on job site and keep daily log for everything Cons There’s no option for employees signature, on JHA OR TOOL BOX TALK Review Source AA Ammar A. Site Super Assistant Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Don't waste more time on daily reports and stay organized!" March 13, 2019 4.0 Pros 1) Its both on the mobile and desktop 2) I added all work logs so that I am always reminded of what things I have to look into 3) It has a task list 4) Can easily navigate between days / work logs 5) You can add pictures directly to any work log 6) It reminds you if you missed a daily report and you can specify which days you work 7) When you have repetitive work logs every day, you can use the roll over button and it'll automatically copy your previous day's report into today, without the pictures! 8) There's a note section where you can add general site notes, safety notes and so on 9) There are 6 survey questions that helps you stay on track every day and remind you of stuff 10) You can add more members and you can all contribute 11) It automatically adds today's weather to the report and so much more! it helps you stay organized and is very user friendly. Cons 1) I can not export all pictures or reports at once if i'm on the lowest plan 2) when you add a work log, its added to all future days ahead and will always show in the report even if it was empty and not added, this should change and should hide empty work logs from the report 3) work logs updates sometimes in a weird way and say you started with 10 work logs every day and if you delete some of the logs to not show in the report empty, raken will eventually update and delete that log from the upcoming days Review Source Response from RAKEN March 19, 2019 Thanks for all the great feedback, Ammar! We really appreciate it! Please reach out to us at help@rakenapp.com so we can help you with the work log rollover feature. We can turn it off so you can start fresh each day if that¿s preferable. Either way, it would be great to collect further feedback from you. Thank you! SW Susan W. Owner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Raken for construction reporting." March 24, 2017 5.0 We are steel erectors running 3 crews. We were going crazy trying to keep up with who was where doing what. None of our Forman are good with paper processing. We introduced them to and we get more detail on a daily basis that we ever thought possible. They love it....what was burdensome communication is now bragging rights....the Forman take pride in their work and out-do each other with amazing photos of work completion and level of daily accomplishment. We are no longer chasing down fuel and charge card receipts as they just snap a picture of it, include it in the daily activity report and throw the paper away. No more Monday morning crisis calls from the office trying to sort payroll, either. We close everyday knowing how many hours each employee worked on each job. Payroll and cost accounting can now be processed daily and by Monday morning, payroll is all ready to go with the push of a button. The Daily Reports are also very professional in appearance. We are often treated like small potatoes by large General Contractors and now, with our Daily Reports, we no longer have long negotiation sessions over Change Order requests because our work is accurately and professionally documented along with photographs. Thanks, Raken. We are fans. Pros simplicity, affordability Cons limited search ability from the app. Review Source Response from RAKEN August 31, 2018 Thanks for the review Susan! Glad we could make your daily reporting process much simpler. ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
