What is operateIT?
Based in Long Island, NY, operateIT serves as a critical infrastructure provider for kitchen and bath dealers and designers. Its flagship application, CompuTool Connect, functions as a comprehensive operating system that streamlines the entire project lifecycle, from initial inquiry to final ordering. By integrating essential third-party tools like 20-20 and QuickBooks, the platform eliminates the need for disparate, single-focus software. The company is uniquely positioned due to its ownership structure, which is 98 percent held by industry professionals, ensuring that the software remains deeply aligned with the practical, day-to-day requirements of the trade. Under the leadership of CEO Keith Tobias and Chairman Ken Peterson, the firm combines over two decades of software development expertise with deep-rooted industry knowledge to deliver high-value business process automation.
