Superintendents still filling out paper daily reports

TL;DR
Raken takes the most tedious part of construction - daily reports - and makes it painless. Superintendents fill out daily logs on their phone in 5 minutes instead of 30 minutes on paper. Time tracking, safety checklists, and photo documentation all feed into one report. At $15-25/user it's a no-brainer for any contractor still using paper.
What is Raken?
Kill the Paper Daily Report
Every superintendent knows the pain. End of a 10-hour day, standing in the trailer, scribbling daily reports by hand. Raken eliminates that. Tap through the app in 5 minutes: weather, workforce count, equipment used, work performed, safety observations. Done. Over 4,500 construction companies made the switch.
More Than Just Daily Logs
Raken started with daily reports but expanded into a full field management toolkit. Time tracking with GPS verification catches buddy punching. Safety checklists ensure toolbox talks happen and get documented. Photo documentation attaches to specific report entries. Production tracking quantifies work installed daily. Everything rolls up into weekly and monthly summaries for the office.
The Practical Limitations
Raken is a field reporting tool, not a project management platform. There's no scheduling, no RFIs, no submittal tracking. Financial management? Not here. You'll need Procore, Buildertrend, or something else for those functions. Raken plays well as a companion tool, but it won't run your whole operation.
Who Benefits Most
GCs and subcontractors on commercial and civil projects where documentation matters. Any company where superintendents currently fill out paper daily logs. Contractors needing to track labor hours across multiple job sites. Safety-focused companies wanting digital toolbox talk records and incident documentation.
