West Palm Beach’s MyTaskit Forms Business Partnership with Valsoft

Montreal software company enters marine vertical with DockMaster

 

West Palm Beach, Fla. MyTaskit, an organization known for its comprehensive task coordination and business management software solutions, has announced that it has entered into a formal partnership with Valsoft, a company specialized in the acquisition and development of vertical market software companies.

The partnership aims to provide expanded software solutions for the marine industry with DockMaster, the well-regarded marine business management software, being at the core. DockMaster is a brand that has been an industry staple for more than three decades, helping marine professionals manage their business operations. Since 2015, DockMaster has been known as the Operations module of MyTaskit Pro. As part of the new Valsoft partnership, it will return to the celebrated DockMaster name.

Cam Collins, previously Senior Vice President at MyTaskit, has been named President of DockMaster, and will continue in this role as the leading executive of operations. Additionally, Kevin Hutchinson, CEO and founder of MyTaskit, is joining Valsoft’s board of advisors. Hutchinson says the partnership is aimed at continued growth and enhanced product development.
