"The system was nothing other than an excel sheet that got updated daily and emailed. They had to sit down, open their laptop, basically pull their notebooks out, and try to remember what happened that week. During the day there was just no feasible time to be able to sit down and really start progressing with your daily report. If they wanted to do photos, they had to take them, download them, and email them to themselves. It was just a lot of clunkiness to what they were doing to get a proper daily report."
“Convenience, which in return makes the field guys more productive. Overall, a great asset to the company.”
"Technology has a major part to play in running an effective organization, and we saw a huge opportunity with Raken. The product’s focus on mobile is perfect for our superintendents in the field, making it easy for them to capture important events and communicate them quickly. It's a game-changer for how we use field information in our decision making. And Egnyte Connect’s ability to provide seamless access to our content streamlined our workflows and made our teams more efficient. Integrating Raken and Egnyte so that our daily reports were automatically synced to an Egnyte Connect project folder was a no-brainer."
"That capacity to be able to access and take photographs throughout the day on an iPhone or a tablet has just been a game-changer. As soon as we started using Raken we realized how valuable they were. Raken is a live update throughout the day, which is really foolproof. As a general superintendent that has an overview of all the projects, it's really handy for me to be able to go in and view the projects live as they happen each day when I'm not necessarily on site, which has been a real help."
"Every job that I've told about it, as soon as they try it out, there's no turning back. Everybody's using Raken, and loves it."
"The superintendents using Raken all report increased compliance, especially with the Super Daily. It takes the pain out of gathering reports from subcontractors, and we've noticed a marked improvement in not only the quality of reporting but their attitude towards reporting as well."
"I've got some supervisors in their 50s and 60s and sometimes they can be a little harder to train up, but we found it easy with Raken.”
"The app has been an asset on multiple projects. The ease of use has helped us streamline our daily reporting process."
"Easy to use, convenient app that cuts down on paperwork time, compared to the old method of filling out a spreadsheet every day."
"With Raken, all the information is at my fingertips. Everything that a good daily report needs is done for me at the press of a button."
"This app has been amazing to keep eyes on all of our active projects. There is no going back after the value this has added for our staff and clients."
"The app does everything I need, and then some. Seriously has made my job more manageable and I appreciate it."
"Our crews are on remote sites in various states it gives us the peace of mind seeing the daily report that day and gives us the ability to react to construction issues in a timely fashion."
"I am not stuck at my desk at the end of the day sorting through all my notes for manpower and pics. It's a perfect time management tool every Superintendent should have."
"This is the the fastest, best, most user friendly app out there. I can see why it was voted the number one Construction app on the market."
