Case Study: Outlier Construction achieves operational efficiency, faster reporting, and streamlined payroll with Raken

Outlier Construction uses Raken to Stay Ahead

Outlier Construction, a Southern Oregon general contractor aiming to differentiate itself from traditional firms, faced inefficient, manual daily reporting and payroll processes that hindered field-to-office communication. To solve this, Outlier turned to Raken and deployed its mobile daily reports and timecard tools across crews and subcontractors.

Using Raken’s app, Outlier standardized daily reports, automated weather and tracking, and moved timecards to cost-code entry with a training cycle of just 5–10 minutes; the result was streamlined payroll processing, fewer payroll errors and pay complaints (down to zero), more timely field updates, and measurable time and cost savings that improved job visibility and execution. Raken’s solution gave Outlier the efficiency and oversight to finish work faster and operate more competitively.
