API & data access

Has ApiYes ↗

Api TypeREST ↗

Api Access GatingRequires an Account Administrator to log into app.rakenapp.com/developer/apps and register an OAuth 2.0 app to obtain a client_id and client_secret. Access to the Public API also depends on account permissions and subscription plan tier. ↗

Api LimitationsEnforces rate limiting based on a per-second request limit, a concurrent burst limit, and a daily request quota. Exceeding limits returns HTTP 429. Supports GET, POST, and PATCH HTTP methods. ↗

Data Export OptionsSupports manual and automated exports in CSV, XLS, and PDF formats. Includes on-demand and scheduled recurring email delivery of Project Summary reports in CSV format, as well as CSV downloads for individual charts within Raken Insights. ↗

Native AI features

Ai Features SummaryRaken provides targeted, narrow native AI tools rather than a broad conversational AI platform. GA/shipped native features include: 1) AI Photo ID (launched June 2024), which uses facial matching at clock-in/out to prevent buddy punching and time theft; 2) Intelligent AI Photo Tagging (launched late 2025), which automatically tags jobsite photos by trade or task (e.g., concrete, framing, electrical) for searchable photo galleries; and 3) AI Daily Report Summaries (launched late 2025 / early 2026, Performance plan), which uses AI to analyze signed daily logs and automatically generate concise executive summaries highlighting jobsite risks, delays, and safety issues. ↗

Ai DispatchRaken offers no native AI-powered dispatching or automated resource scheduling capabilities. The platform includes a standard resource scheduling tool for assigning shifts and notifying crews via SMS/email, but it relies on manual user inputs without predictive AI or smart route optimization. ↗

Ai FinanceRaken has no native AI estimating, AI invoicing, or AP/AR automation features. While field teams can log production and material quantities, accounting, estimating, and financial data management rely on manual entry or third-party accounting software integrations. ↗

Ai Assistant Or McpRaken does not offer a native conversational AI assistant or copilot inside its web or mobile app. However, Raken provides an official preview of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server ('Raken Public API MCP Server'). This allows external MCP-compatible AI clients (such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code) to securely connect via OAuth to read and update Raken data, including projects, team members, cost codes, shifts, and pay types. ↗

Integrations & ecosystem

Accounting IntegrationsRaken connects natively to construction accounting and payroll platforms including QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Sage Intacct, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 CRE, Foundation, Deltek ComputerEase, Viewpoint Vista, Viewpoint Spectrum, CMiC, Paychex, and Points North. For field and project management systems, Raken integrates directly with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud (BIM 360 / Autodesk Build), and Bluebeam. The accounting-to-field integration is native, syncing labor time cards, cost codes, project details, and daily log reports directly between Raken and the ERP/PM systems without requiring third-party middleware. ↗

MarketplaceRaken does not feature a self-service public app marketplace or developer app store. However, it maintains a public Integration Partners directory on its website detailing supported integrations across accounting, project management, cloud storage (Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Egnyte), and reality capture platforms (EarthCam, DroneDeploy, HoloBuilder, TrueLook). ↗

Unified Api SupportUnified-API construction and B2B middleware providers such as Agave and Merge.dev do not list Raken as a supported source system integration. ↗

Accounting fit & implementation

Certified PayrollRaken does not generate WH-347 certified payroll reports natively. It supports certified payroll and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance via third-party partner integrations (such as Points North and Payroll4Construction) by exporting captured field time cards, cost codes, and labor classifications. ↗

Accounting MethodRaken is a field management and time-tracking application rather than an accounting software or general ledger system. It does not enforce or manage internal accounting methods (cash or accrual), leaving accounting methods to integrated third-party construction accounting systems. ↗

Wip Poc SupportRaken does not natively support Work-in-Progress (WIP) schedules or Percentage-of-Completion (POC) accounting calculations. Financial WIP and POC tracking are handled within connected construction ERP and accounting platforms. ↗

Implementation TimeImplementation and onboarding typically take days to a few weeks, with field crews able to begin daily reporting immediately or within days. ↗

Requires ImplementerNo, Raken does not require a paid third-party implementer or VAR. Implementation is direct and self-service or guided by Raken's internal onboarding specialists. ↗

Adoption & market position

Market PositionField-first construction management and field reporting platform focused on daily project logs, time tracking, safety compliance, and field-to-office communication for general contractors and specialty subcontractors. It functions as a specialized field-capture and documentation tool rather than a full end-to-end enterprise ERP or pre-construction bidding solution. ↗

Customer ScaleServes over 4,500 construction firms and specialty contractors, with more than 70,000 active users across North America. ↗

MomentumGrowing. In September 2025, private equity firm Sverica Capital acquired a majority stake in Raken to fund expansion and AI-driven features. The platform is considered a modern field-capture solution rather than a legacy tool being phased out, maintaining strong user adoption and high mobile store ratings. ↗
