Raken Expands Equipment Management Solutions with Enhanced Tracking and Reporting
Raken is the top-rated field management app for the construction industry. It has expanded its equipment management capabilities to better help customers leverage their valuable assets. The California-based software developer recently introduced new and enhanced workflows for detailed equipment tracking, automated reporting, and proactive maintenance. Combined with the app’s daily reports, time tracking, safety and quality management tools, and document management, this update to their equipment management features further establishes Raken as the all-in-one solution for improving field productivity and visibility.
Built with Purpose
Raken developed its new, improved equipment management tools to meet one of the industry’s most vital needs. Equipment is a significant cost for most construction companies. They spend hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars buying, renting, and maintaining equipment every year.
“Knowing where equipment is, who is using it, and what condition it’s in is critical in construction,” said Mike Bates, VP of Corporate Strategy. “Raken makes it easy to capture and analyze key data points so you can protect and maximize your investment.”
Track, Maintain and Report on Owned and Rented Equipment
Contractors can improve equipment utilization and maintenance with Raken, helping to keep their projects on schedule and under budget. Benefits for the field and office include:
- Easily add new or update equipment
- See where each piece of equipment is located and its condition
- Track details such as deployment history, hours, mileage, and fuel consumption
- Report on critical metrics to help reduce idle time, manage costs, improve operator productivity and more
- Monitor deficiencies, maintenance schedules, and return dates
Raken’s equipment management tools include an automated dashboard for analyzing utilization trends, productivity, fuel consumption and Co2 emissions. Users can also run snapshot reports organizing equipment by custom criteria and view detailed deployment and usage summaries.
The app also allows users to enable automatic email notifications for scheduled repairs, returns and maintenance. Plus, they can quickly track deficiencies by operator to provide targeted training or guidance.
“Raken now provides an even clearer view of all your assets across your company and projects, so you can maximize usage, better manage your budgets, and extend the lifespan of your equipment,” said Mike Bates.
Launching Soon
Raken will continue to grow equipment management capabilities based on industry trends and customer feedback. Additional tools for tracking and reporting on small equipment units and status are currently in development. They will be released in the coming months.
