Case Study: Hensel Phelps Construction achieves major time savings and streamlined field reporting with Raken

Hensel Phelps Construction - Customer Case Study

Hensel Phelps Construction faced a complex $173M Southwestern Yard build for LA Metro in 2015 that generated heavy daily reporting demands. The project’s paper-based workflow—subcontractors filling out paper dailies and project engineers re-entering data into Excel—led to unreadable handwriting, backlogs, and engineers spending 2–3 hours per day on manual data entry.

Hensel Phelps Construction implemented Raken, using its Super Daily mobile reporting so subcontractors could submit reports on their phones. Raken improved compliance, eliminated manual re-entry, automatically totaled man-hours, and produced higher-quality reports, saving project engineers about 2–3 hours daily and helping the team finish the project on time and under budget while improving staff quality of life.
