What Raken does

Raken is a cloud-based, field-first construction management SaaS platform founded in 2014 and headquartered in Carlsbad, California. The platform enables construction crews to capture and share field data in real time via iOS and Android mobile apps and a web dashboard, with modules spanning daily progress reporting (notes, photos, videos, automated PDF generation), time and production tracking (mobile time clock, kiosk mode, AI photo identification, GPS), production insights and resource scheduling, project management (RFIs, document management), and safety and quality management (checklists, observations, incidents with OSHA submission, toolbox talks, dashboards). Underlying technology includes AI photo identification for time clock verification, voice transcription for field reporting, automated workflow triggers, and integration with cloud storage (Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Egnyte), accounting platforms (QuickBooks Desktop, Sage Intacct, CMiC), and the Bluebeam AEC markup ecosystem via an API.

Raken serves general contractors and subcontractors across multiple construction verticals (heavy civil, electrical, mechanical, concrete, plumbing, roofing, painting, steel, excavating), targeting both enterprise accounts (Hensel Phelps, Barton Malow, Level 10, Webcor, John W. Danforth) and small-to-medium contractors with 10–100 field workers. The company operates a sales-led GTM motion with a 15-day free trial of its Performance plan, quote-based subscription pricing billed monthly, and channel distribution through direct website sales, mobile app stores, and self-serve trial sign-up. Raken currently restricts its operating geography to the United States and Canada.

Raken has scaled to approximately $16.5M in ARR as of 2025 without raising external venture capital according to first-party commentary, growing to an estimated 150–250 employees. In January 2026, the company expanded its Board of Directors with two technology industry veterans—Ron Antevy (former CEO of e-Builder, sold to Trimble for $500M in 2018, and founder of Trimble Ventures) and Robert E. Knowling Jr.—signaling preparation for a next growth phase. The company has won three consecutive Stevie Awards for customer service and multiple G2 awards for ease of use and setup.

Direct peers

• Procore Technologies: Procore is the leading cloud-based construction management platform serving general contractors, specialty contractors, and owners with project management, field productivity, and financial tools — directly comparable to Raken's construction management focus, though at significantly greater scale and broader suite depth.
• Buildertrend: Buildertrend provides construction project management SaaS for residential and light-commercial builders, including scheduling, daily logs, and customer communication. Direct overlap with Raken in field workflows, though Buildertrend is more residential-focused and smaller-contractor oriented.
• Fieldwire: Fieldwire offers a field management platform for construction with task management, punch lists, plan viewing, and inspections. Closely comparable to Raken's field-first mobile approach for specialty and general contractors, particularly in the SMB and mid-market tiers.
• Rhumbix: Rhumbix provides mobile field data collection and time tracking for construction trades, with a focus on labor productivity and timesheets. Directly overlaps with Raken's time tracking, time clock, and production insights modules for trade contractors.
• CoConstruct: CoConstruct offers construction project management software for custom home builders and remodelers, including daily logs, photos, and client communication. Comparable to Raken in mobile field workflows, though more focused on the residential remodel and custom-build segment.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Autodesk's construction division (Build, BIM 360, PlanGrid) bundles field management, document control, and BIM collaboration for contractors. Comparable overlap with Raken's field reporting and document management, though Autodesk operates as a broader incumbent portfolio rather than a field-first specialist.
• Trimble (e-Builder): Trimble owns e-Builder (acquired 2018) and offers construction program management plus a broad portfolio of field, BIM, and hardware solutions. Comparable to Raken in capital program management and project controls, though Trimble operates as a diversified incumbent across many construction categories.
• Oracle Primavera: Oracle Primavera Unifier and P6 provide project controls, contract management, and field collaboration for large construction programs. Overlaps with Raken's project management and document control capabilities, especially for enterprise and infrastructure-grade contractors.

Emerging players

• JobTread: JobTread provides construction management software for small to mid-sized contractors with estimating, job costing, and field documentation. Emerging peer to Raken focused on the SMB contractor segment with overlapping daily reporting and time tracking functionality.
• NoteVault (by Egnyte): NoteVault provides daily reporting and field documentation for construction, now part of Egnyte. Direct overlap with Raken's daily reporting and photo documentation workflows, particularly among commercial general contractors requiring defensible project records.
