About MyTaskit

MyTaskit, founded in 2012 by Kevin Hutchinson, operated a web-based software platform designed to connect service professionals with their technicians, subcontractors, and customers, particularly within the marine industry. Hutchinson, who previously served as the founding CEO of Surescripts, established the company in West Palm Beach, Florida. MyTaskit's business model was primarily subscription-based, offering a "Pro Coordination module" with both free and paid tiers featuring enhanced functionalities. The platform generated revenue by charging service providers based on the number of technicians using the pro version, while the consumer-facing application was free for up to 1GB of storage.

The company's core offering was a work coordination platform that aimed to digitize and streamline service operations. It allowed service businesses to manage tasks, assign jobs to technicians in real-time, track labor hours, and communicate with clients and subcontractors through a single, paperless system. Key features included voice-to-text for recording notes and parts, photo sharing, and two-way messaging between supervisors and field technicians. For consumers, the platform provided a means to request service, upload photos of issues, and coordinate repairs for their assets, such as boats or RVs. A significant aspect of its strategy involved strategic integrations with established software like QuickBooks for accounting and DockMaster for comprehensive marine operations management.

Throughout its operation, MyTaskit achieved several milestones, including raising approximately $12.7 million in funding over three rounds. A notable development was the acquisition of the marine software company DockMaster in 2013, which was later rebranded as the operations module of MyTaskit Pro in 2015. However, this rebranding proved challenging, and in 2017, MyTaskit entered a strategic partnership with Valsoft Corporation. Under this agreement, Valsoft acquired the rights to the DockMaster brand and its operations, returning it to its original name, while Hutchinson joined Valsoft's board of advisors. The company's last noted activity includes news of client additions and product updates in 2018; however, reports indicate MyTaskit ceased operations around December 2019.
