As to its traction since launching in 2008? Producteev Co-founder Ilan Abehassera tells us that more than 1,000 business customers are now using the service, including Orbitz, Trulia, Logitech, Financial Times, and Boston College, and more than 7 million tasks have been created to date.
Today marks a big step forward for Producteev, as the service now leverages the cloud to sync its new apps, managing tasks and to-do lists across most of today’s popular devices and platforms. The startup is reaching for the (asymptotic?) goal of universal, or at least cross-platform, task management, as professionals and businesses want (and need) to create and store tasks across platforms, devices, and services - from email and IMs to voicemails and notes.

Today, Producteev is unveiling a slew of new apps, including a significantly upgraded web app, iPhone and Android mobile apps, and new Windows 7 and Mac desktop apps. Granted, I’m biased, as my experience using Producteev has been largely without hiccups, but there were a few holes in Producteev’s catalog when it came to finding a unified product across more than a couple of platforms. (Disclosure: TechCrunch uses Producteev to manage event-related tasks.) The New York City-based startup has created a minimalist, user-friendly interface that’s channel agnostic, and throws in some game mechanics for good measure. When it comes to the group/individual split, Producteev tries to find a balance. Some are project-oriented, others focus on CRM. ( It’s even up for a Crunchie Award this year.) Or there’s Apollo, ProTasker, and many more.Įach of these startups and companies approaches the problem in a slightly different way - some are group task managers, while others focus on individuals. Some prefer Basecamp, while Facebook Founder Dustin Moskovitz’s group task manager Asana has been turning heads. As each company and workforce has its own requirements, they pick and choose.
There are a lot of task managers out there, and many of them are thriving. When it comes to task management, complexity in a service is, put simply, a no-no. The key to success in the task management space, among so many other things, is offering a product that integrates with as many services as possible while keeping things simple.
