Taskaji's Unique Business Approach

The main business of Taskaji revolves around its housekeeping matching platform, designed to alleviate the burdens of household chores, which disproportionately fall on women's shoulders. The platform aims to resolve societal issues faced by many women in Japan, making it challenging for them to build the lives and careers they desire.

With the mission to "eliminate household chores worldwide so everyone can shine in their lives," Taskaji has been supporting households with various challenges since launching in 2014. Currently, approximately 130,000 dual-income women across Japan, along with about 4,700 registered housekeepers, leverage the platform to lessen the burden of housework while empowering both clients and housekeepers to achieve self-realization.

Future Directions for Taskaji

Moving forward, Taskaji plans to utilize the Household Life Log Data it has accumulated over the past decade in the housekeeping sector. This unique asset, combined with insights from its housekeepers, will facilitate the expansion of its data consulting division, Taskaji Research Institute. The aim is to collaborate with companies across diverse sectors, including food, daily necessities, and housing, to extract consumer insights, develop new products and services, and create innovative promotional strategies. By rapidly identifying shifts in consumer behavior, especially regarding “experience consumption” within households, Taskaji seeks to co-create new market values with its partners.

Taskaji's endeavors are driven by a profound goal—to bring increased freedom and happiness to people around the globe.
