66 Raken Testimonials

"We're proud of the work we do, and we can be proud of the daily reports that we send because they're so clean. Raken makes our job so much easier."

"The first person to use Raken was Wayne, in his late 60s. He was a little nervous to use an app and an iPad. But he quickly got the hang of it, and he loves it. Now, with some of our new inspectors, it takes them 5 whole minutes to get it."

"This is the best way to do daily reports- all areas are covered, all subs are in order, easy, quick, helpful, and Raken sends it out. Where was this 20 years ago."

"For our line of work, support and excavation, we use a lot of material and it’s very hard to keep account of it. I have a book where I write down how many yards I poured but some days I pour 200 yards, 150 yards, 3 yards and sometimes I forget to write it down. But, the thing that’s good with Raken is I never forget to do it. I do it every evening, the second I finish work."

"With Raken the guys are easily, by cost code, putting in their hours and it has totally streamlined our payroll."

"Raken has improved the time that it takes to do time cards, and the overall accuracy. The number of pay complaints from our employees are down to zero."

"With Raken, there was no learning curve. We're stone masons, we're not generally known to be really techy guys. And if we can get this technology, anyone can."

"When I first started we were using the Excel spreadsheet, which is pretty clunky."

"Raken is a one-stop shop for time, comments, and photos. It definitely improves what you know about what's going on with all the jobs, plus it's easy to use."

"It takes not even a minute to go in there and see what we did that day."

“All of our information comes from the field. So the field crew needs to be the first to buy into the software. If they can’t document quickly and easily, it just doesn’t work. We had a couple of our Superintendents try the app for a week, and they picked it up pretty quickly. We then started incorporating the rest of the gang.”

"They picked it up no problem. Whether they were inexperienced, young, old, it didn’t matter. It was easy for our Field staff to grasp since the app was so intuitive."

“We embrace technology as a tool, not a solution, to our management needs and it has helped guide us in a direction where we no longer make decisions based on feel and intuition but on data and real-time evidence instead.”

“It’s all about productivity as everyone in any industry knows. Information, data, records, schedules — you need ready access to all of it to continually optimize operations. Technology makes it fast and usually easy to have what you need right at your fingertips.”

"Carol was amazing, she is a very petite woman and used to wear high heels and business attire with her hardhat onto the jobsite. She knew everyone’s name from the superintendent to the man sweeping up. Her gracious and kind management style is something I strive to emulate each day."
