Miter: the Raken alternative built for the field and the office.

Raken is a field data capture and daily reporting platform built for crews and project managers. It’s strong at photos, weather logs, production tracking, and safety checklists. Miter is a construction payroll, HR, and workforce management platform. It handles time tracking, daily reports, and production data, then connects that field data to native payroll – including prevailing wage, certified payroll, union, and multi-state payroll – HR compliance, and expense management. Teams coming from Raken typically consolidate into Miter, replacing Raken’s time tracking and field reporting with Miter’s native equivalents, while gaining payroll, HR tools like an ATS, LMS, and benefits administration platform, and expense management tools like reimbursements and per diems in the same platform.

No. Raken doesn’t process payroll at all, so it has no certified payroll reporting, prevailing wage calculations, or union rate support. Miter runs full payroll natively, including automatic certified payroll reports, prevailing wage and fringe calculations, and union payroll rules built for construction. If certified payroll or prevailing wage compliance is part of your work, Raken alone won’t cover it. You’d need a separate payroll system, or a platform like Miter that handles time, production, and payroll together, so field hours flow straight into compliant paychecks and reports.

• Miter has a built-in Safety module that covers the core safety use cases Raken offers, including:
  • OSHA incident reporting and recordkeeping
  • Digital toolbox talks with attendance tracking
  • Custom safety form builder
  • Mobile-first experience for field completion
  • Safety activity reporting by project or crew 
  • Additionally, Miter calculates TRIR and DART automatically from real hours worked, and surfaces incident trends, observation activity, and safety meeting participation by job, crew, and supervisor.
• This means contractors using Raken primarily for safety documentation can consolidate into Miter without losing functionality, and gain the benefit of safety data living alongside payroll and HR data.

• Miter has deep, native integrations with the most common construction ERPs and project management tools:
  • Accounting / ERP Systems:
    • QuickBooks Online & Desktop
    • Sage Intacct, Sage 300, Sage 100
    • Viewpoint Vista & Spectrum
    • Acumatica, Foundation, Jonas Premier, Xero, NetSuite, and more
  • Field / Project Management Tools:
    • Procore, HCSS, BuildOps, ServiceTitan
• Raken does integrate with accounting and payroll systems, including Sage 300 CRE, Sage Intacct, Viewpoint Vista and Spectrum, Foundation, Deltek ComputerEase, QuickBooks, CMiC, and Paychex, and it partners with Points North for certified payroll reporting. 
• The difference is what sits on the other side of that sync. 
• Raken hands time and cost code data to a payroll system you still have to run, reconcile, and keep compliant, which means two vendors and a sync to maintain. 
• Miter is the payroll system, so field hours become gross-to-net pay, certified payroll reports, and fully burdened job costs in one place before anything reaches your ERP.
