Clue Vs Raken

Raken Overview

Raken is a field reporting and workforce productivity platform designed to help construction teams capture daily logs, crew reports, timecards, and field documentation from mobile devices. It’s well known for its simplicity in capturing daily field activities and enabling crews to quickly log time, progress, and field notes.

How It Compares to Clue

Clue is an operational platform that connects real‑time time tracking with equipment usage and workflows to create a unified view of labor and equipment performance. It’s designed to remove manual timelog burdens, provide live visibility into crew activity, and integrate that data seamlessly with payroll and ERP systems for accurate, up‑to‑date labor costs.

Raken focuses on daily field logs and reporting, with timesheets as one part of its reporting suite. It captures data around crew reports and project logs but doesn’t extend timesheet data into real‑time payroll, GPS validation, or operational integrations the way Clue does. This makes Clue more effective for contractors who need precise, validated time tracking deeply tied to field operations and cost management.
