This experience reshaped the company's mission to empowering service businesses with efficient, affordable tools. As a bootstrapped startup, Markate navigated early challenges by focusing on customer needs and resource management to build its current platform. Markate's central offering is an all-in-one application designed to streamline the operations of service professionals such as handymen, cleaners, and landscapers. Key functionalities include customer relationship management (CRM) for organizing client information, scheduling and job management with a drag-and-drop calendar, and creating professional estimates and invoices. The system supports online payments, integrates with QuickBooks and Google Calendar, and automates customer communications like reminders and follow-ups via SMS and email. The platform also features marketing automation tools for email campaigns and lead management, a customer portal, and analytics dashboards for tracking business performance.

  • Mashura

    Health

    Mashura provides an inventory intelligence platform that utilizes smart cabinet technology and cloud-based software to optimize operations for healthcare businesses. The company primarily serves the veterinary and dental markets through its two specialized brands, CUBEX for veterinarians and Zimbis for the dental sector. Founded in 2008 by Anton Visser, who has over 25 years of experience in the animal and human healthcare industries, Mashura was created to address the need for smarter inventory solutions. The initial inspiration came from the founder's father's veterinary practice, leading to the development of the first CUBEX smart cabinet. The company's offerings are designed to streamline workflows, reduce medication and supply costs, improve billing capture, and ensure compliance with regulatory bodies like the DEA. The software platform, MashuraOS, provides real-time reporting and analytics to help clinics manage inventory, automate ordering, and gain insights into their operational efficiency. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Mashura has a global presence with installations in over 16 countries. The company has experienced significant growth, marked by key financial milestones. In January 2025, Mashura announced a $300 million strategic partnership with a financing vehicle sponsored by private equity firm Warburg Pincus to fuel global expansion and product innovation. Mitsubishi Corporation also remains a strategic partner. This follows earlier investments from HCAP Partners in 2014 and the Visser Family in 2021.
