How Knowify revolutionized project management for Raskin Built
[Knowify] is a comprehensive software that allows us from the time that we complete our takeoff to the time that we complete the job, to basically be able to just use this one software to run our projects and get the intelligence that we need in order to be able to see how we’re performing in real-time.

Projects are often a game of inches. Tracking and understanding exactly why your team hit (or missed) the mark can make or break your next project’s financial success. It’s this very reason that navigating the complexities of project management was once a daunting challenge for Yisroel.
However, with the integration of Knowify into its workflows, Raskin Built has experienced a transformative shift in its operations, paving the way for enhanced productivity and profitability.
“We had a very high-level understanding, or a low-level understanding, depending on how you put it, of where the company was,” Yisroel said. “But with Knowify, we’re able to track our jobs on a job-by-job, phase-by-phase, and day-by-day basis.”
This newfound level of real-time tracking, which displays overall job progress, actual cost amounts, and the status of pending tasks, enables Yisroel, as a hands-on leader, to conduct insightful meetings with his foremen, address discrepancies, and most importantly, ensure projects stay on track financially.
Moreover, Knowify’s robust features extend beyond project tracking, encompassing comprehensive job costing and invoicing capabilities. But what exactly does this mean for his business? It means having more control over jobs with a real-time view of costs for each phase of projects.
It’s not only just a collection tool, but it’s also a business intelligence tool that allows me to build my business using the data from the people that I have…it’s the most critical tracking tool that we have.

I don’t have to be in the office. I don’t have to track everything 12 hours a day. [Knowify] is doing it for me so I can come in and plug in from anywhere on my laptop, see how things are going, make a quick phone call, and call it a day.

Yisroel’s advice for creating a thriving concrete business
When we asked Yisroel what advice he would give someone starting their own concrete business, he cut to the chase:
“Invest heavily in your software. Having the right software and integrating it into your entire workflow is essential. When I started, [I] would have about four or five different pieces of software open just to get a job finished and there’s always going to be data loss between them. So the more you can keep in one ecosystem, the better it’ll be for you going forward.”
