Raken is built around the field daily report: crews log notes, photos, weather, work logs and time from the mobile app, and office users review, approve and report on the web. Its safety tools live inside each project, so a checklist or incident belongs to the same project record as the daily report. Evaluate it as a contractor field app with safety records rather than as a stand-alone enterprise EHS system.
Built from vendor sources checked ; AI-assisted drafting. Documentation review, not a hands-on test. How pages are made
US general and specialty contractors who want jobsite safety records captured in the same mobile app crews already use for daily reports and time. Raken's own help articles state the plan boundary differently: the Safety & QC overview says every Safety & QC feature needs Performance, while the checklist article allows library templates on Basic and the toolbox-talk article lists all plans. Get the included features in writing.
Worth evaluating for contractors who already run, or want to run, a mobile daily report, because the safety tools extend that project record instead of adding a separate EHS system. Less suited to buyers who need enterprise EHS workflows beyond project records or injury reporting outside OSHA ITA.

Raken is construction field-management software with a web app for office users and iOS and Android apps for crews. Its help centre names two plans, Basic and Performance. Safety & QC is a section inside each project that holds checklists, toolbox talks, observations, incidents and insights dashboards. Daily reports, time tracking, production tracking, documents and RFIs, plus the Safety & QC section and OSHA ITA submission. Performance is required for the Procore, Autodesk Forma and InEight integrations and for OSHA ITA submission; the Time Clock is a paid add-on on all plans.
| Capability | Evidence | Scope and source |
|---|---|---|
| Daily field reports | Documented by vendor | Crews log notes, photos, weather, work logs and survey responses on mobile; signed daily reports are distributed to stakeholders and stored. What is Raken: plans, platforms and offline scope |
| Safety checklists | Depends on scope | Templates, scheduling, photos per item and a PDF on completion; Sign & Complete locks it. Help articles disagree on whether Basic includes library templates or all checklists need Performance. Completing checklists in the mobile appSafety & Quality Control overview and plan requirements |
| Toolbox talks | Depends on scope | Topic library or custom topics, attendance and per-attendee signatures on one device or each worker's own, with attendance and compliance reports. The toolbox-talk article lists all plans; the overview lists Performance. Completing a toolbox talkSafety & Quality Control overview and plan requirements |
| Observations with assigned follow-up | Depends on scope | Performance plan. Positive or negative type, priority, location, assignee, due date and photos; status moves Open, In Progress, Resolved, Closed, and assignees are notified by email. Creating and managing observations |
| Incidents and OSHA ITA submission | Depends on scope | Performance plan. Incident types include near miss, first aid and recordable injury, with contributing factors, corrective actions and timestamped edit history. OSHA 300 data is submitted to the ITA from the web app by an Account Administrator, one establishment per connection. Reporting and tracking incidentsOSHA ITA integration |
| Offline mobile capture | Documented by vendor | Offline daily reports, time cards, checklists, talks, observations and incidents for cached projects, on all plans. Working with Raken offlineOffline mode blog post (July 2024)Reporting and tracking incidents |
| Project management integrations | Depends on scope | Procore and Autodesk Forma receive daily reports, photos, checklists and toolbox talks; InEight receives reports and attachments. Requires Performance, an active third-party account and an Account Administrator. Project management integrations |
| Single sign-on | Depends on scope | OpenID and SAML providers after an account review by Raken support; SSO covers login only and roles stay in Raken. Eligibility is confirmed with the account manager. Single sign-on |
| Production tracking by cost code | Depends on scope | Production Tracking combines cost codes, materials, equipment, worked hours, quantities and budget comparisons. Confirm the purchased tools and reconcile exported totals against the accounting or project-control system that remains authoritative. Production tracking, cost codes, materials and equipment — checked 28 September 2026 |
| Crew time cards and optional geofencing | Depends on scope | Performance supports individual or crew time cards split by cost code; the Time Clock add-on adds location rules that can flag or prevent off-site clock-ins and export violations. Supervisor-entered cards do not carry punch GPS evidence. Time cards for crews, cost codes and equipment — checked 28 September 2026Time-clock geofencing, violations and plan boundary — checked 28 September 2026 |
Also watch for: Public prices cover Basic and Performance only; both plans are sold through sales or the in-app subscription screen, and the Time Clock add-on has no published price. Observations are project-level records and are not shared across projects. The web app does not work offline and the Time Clock needs a connection. Integration sync waits for daily reports to be signed; unsigned reports are not transferred.
Per-user subscription (Basic and Performance plans)
Entry price as recorded: $23 per user (Basic, $69 total per month, minimum 3 users, in USD billed annually).
Pricing sources checked : Checked against the vendor's published pricing.
The Raken pricing page has 2 published prices (unit, term, minimum and source), the entry cost worked out and 1 Construction Safety product priced in the same unit.
The mobile app works offline for cached projects (the five most recent by default, or chosen ones): daily reports, time cards, checklists, toolbox talks, observations and incidents sync on reconnection. The web app, the Time Clock and OSHA ITA submission need a connection. Help's Refresh cache clears stored offline data, so confirm what happens to unsynced entries.
Yes, for cached projects: help documents offline checklists, toolbox talks, observations and incidents on mobile, syncing on reconnection. Only the five most recently active projects are cached unless users choose others.
Not on mobile: Sign & Complete locks the checklist, and help directs users to an administrator for errors in a submitted checklist. Drafts saved with Save as draft stay editable.
Its OSHA ITA integration sends OSHA 300 log data for recordable cases from Raken incident records, using an ITA API token. It runs in the web app, needs Performance and an Account Administrator, and links one establishment per connection.
The system security page states AWS data centres in the US, with encryption at rest and in transit. The ISO 27001, PCI and SOC references on that page describe AWS's environment, not a Raken certification.
