"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."

"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."

"At the end of the day they would have to take all their notes and gather all the information that they had been supervising all day and condense it down to a daily log. It was very cumbersome to take pictures and donwload them into the file, then to go to the NOAA website to gather what the weather data was for the day, then combine those pieces together. It really took them hours a day at the end of their day."

"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."
