Case Study: RHSI achieves $3,000/month in savings and frees inspectors' time with Raken

Sr. Construction Manager Saves Firm Thousands with Raken

RHSI faced a flood of paperwork and photo management across hundreds of small maintenance projects, and senior construction manager Barbara Tavares struggled to get contractors to complete timely daily reports and inspections. Paper reports and manual photo downloads made reporting slow, error-prone, and a drain on staff time — especially for inspectors like Wayne who initially found digital tools unfamiliar.

Raken provided a field reporting app and construction field management technology deployed on iPads that inspectors learned to use quickly, allowing new inspectors to finish dailies in about five minutes. Raken cut 1–2 hours of admin work per inspector per day, saving RHSI roughly $150 per day (about $3,000/month), freed staff for income-generating work and training, and helped RHSI streamline City documentation across a 250-street program as other firms adopted Raken too.
