“Can a mobile-first field-reporting app become the connective tissue between construction jobsites and back-office ERP/payroll systems?”
Raken started in 2014 as a simple mobile daily-reporting tool for construction crews and expanded into a broader field-management suite covering time tracking, safety/quality, production tracking, and document management. The product is deeply integrated with construction ERPs (Sage, Viewpoint, CMiC, QuickBooks, Deltek ComputerEase) via the Trimble AppXchange and direct APIs — the strategic wedge is being the field-data source of truth that flows into the customer's accounting/payroll system, rather than operating financial products itself.
