Modus is a two-person studio in New York. We build invoicing systems, timesheet tools and reporting software for staffing firms and bookkeeping offices. The first audit is free, and you don't pay until the software works.
Every office has one or two of these. They feel like the cost of doing business, but they have a number attached, and it is usually bigger than people expect.
One person built it and only that person really understands it. When they are out, half the back office is out with them.
Numbers pulled out of three systems, pasted into a fourth, checked twice, and still sent late.
Someone loses the afternoon collecting hours and re-keying them into billing and payroll before anything can go out.
Once into the CRM, once into the books, once into a spreadsheet. Same client, same numbers, three chances to get it wrong.
Most of our work is with staffing and recruiting firms and bookkeeping and accounting offices. We also build for logistics, field service and property management companies that have outgrown their spreadsheets.
Three inputs. The figure on the right is what the manual version costs you over a year.
A morning a day comes to 20. Invoicing alone is usually 6 to 10.
Wages plus taxes and benefits, so roughly 1.2 to 1.4 times the wage.

Automating it costs a fraction of that figure. The audit that tells you how much is free.
Book the auditDean works in financial administration for a staffing company. Payroll, reconciliation, compliance reporting, the whole weekly grind.
Modus started because we got tired of watching good people lose Friday afternoons to work a computer finishes in seconds. Tucker is an engineer and built the first invoice tool to prove the point. We have been building them for offices like that one ever since.

Both run on invented data inside your browser. They are here so you can judge the finish before you ever talk to us.
A thirteen-week forecast. Drag a payment into a different week and the quarter recalculates, with the reason for the tightest week written out in plain English.
A week of raw timesheets goes in and a finished client invoice comes out. It matches each worker to the client they are placed at, prices the line at that client's rate, applies the margin and totals it.
Every company, name and figure in both demos is invented and the data is locked. Want one of these running on your own numbers? That is what the audit is for. Book one
These are the jobs we take most often. Each one ships as working software against a fixed price agreed before we start.
The thing your team keeps saying somebody should build, shaped around how you already work rather than a template.
The copy-paste step between two systems that were never going to talk to each other. We remove the step and leave the systems alone.
Cash, jobs, placements, whatever actually runs your week, on one screen that updates without anybody rebuilding it.
Invoices built from your real data, sent on a schedule, with the overdue follow-ups handled before anyone has to remember them.
Timesheets collected and checked, hours and margin totalled, exports formatted for ADP, Paychex or whoever runs your payroll.
QuickBooks, Bullhorn, JobDiva, Gusto, Bill.com and the spreadsheets holding it together. Plus somewhere clients can log in and check status.
Something else? If it runs on a computer we can probably build it. We use AI where it earns its place and plain rules where rules are enough.
Everything we take onYou know the number and the scope before anybody writes code.
An hour, in person or over a screen share, ideally with whoever actually does the work. Sometimes we find nothing worth automating, and we say so.
A fixed number in plain English with a written definition of what finished means. It does not move after that.
Usually a week or two. You see working software early, while changes are still cheap to make.
We connect it to your systems and keep it maintained. Billing starts here and not before.
Bring us the process everyone dreads. The spreadsheet nobody else can open, the report that eats Monday morning. We will tell you for free what it would take to make it go away. You will hear back inside one business day.
