How to Manage Equipment Across Projects in Raken.

Raken makes it easy to monitor use and make sure your equipment is ready and available when you need it.

Deploy equipment to a project

Once you’ve added your equipment to Raken, scroll down to view each entry and see whether or not it’s available for use at a glance.

To get more granular data, use the Filter functionality at the top of your screen to filter your view by:

  • Equipment type

  • ​Make

  • ​Condition

  • Deployment

You can also deploy equipment to a project right from this tab. To do so, click the three dots on the right side of your screen. Or, use the checkboxes and the Bulk actions button to deploy multiple pieces of equipment at the same time.

Track productivity and schedule maintenance
