Modus — New York Software Studio
We build custom tools and workflow automation for staffing firms, accounting offices, and growing businesses that are done doing things by hand. You talk directly to the people who build it — no account managers, no handoffs.
01 / The Problem
Every business has a few of these. They feel like the cost of doing business. They aren't — they're a number, and it's bigger than you think.
One person owns it. Nobody else understands it. If they're out sick, so is half your back office.
Numbers pulled from three systems, pasted into one, checked twice, sent late anyway. Every single week.
Every Friday, someone spends the afternoon collecting hours, fixing typos, and re-keying them into billing and payroll.
The same client, the same invoice, the same numbers — entered by hand into the CRM, the books, and a spreadsheet. Three times.
02 / The Cost
Three inputs. Slide them to match your office and watch what the manual version costs every year.
A morning a day is 20. “Just the invoicing” is usually 6–10.
Wages plus taxes and benefits — usually 1.2–1.4× the wage.

That's what the manual version costs every year. Automating it is a fraction of that — and the audit that tells you exactly how much is free.

The work still gets done. It just stops being done by a person, an afternoon at a time.
03 / Proof
Two working tools, running live on this page. Real engineering on fictional sample data — click around, drag things, break things. Nothing leaves your browser.
A 13-week forecast that shows the cash crunch before it happens. Drag a payment to a different week and the whole quarter recomputes — with the fix spelled out in plain English.
A week of raw timesheets goes in, a finished client invoice comes out. Rules match every worker to their client, price each line, apply the margin, and hand back a document that's ready to send.
04 / What We Build
These are the jobs we take on most. Every one ships as working software, scoped in plain English.
The tool your team keeps wishing existed, built around your exact process — not a template of someone else's.
Repetitive work, handled. Data moves itself, documents file themselves, follow-ups send themselves.
Every number that matters, live on one screen. No more hunting through nine spreadsheet tabs on a Monday.
Invoices that generate, send, and chase themselves. You watch the money arrive, not the paperwork pile up.
Timesheets collected, hours checked, exports formatted for your payroll run. Hours of prep down to minutes.
QuickBooks, CRMs, spreadsheets — finally talking to each other. Plus a clean, branded place for clients to log in.
Something else entirely? If it runs on a computer, we can probably build it. We use AI where it earns its place — and plain, reliable rules where rules are enough.
See every service05 / Process
You know what you're getting and what it costs before we write a line of code.
We map how your work flows today, find what should be automated first, and hand you the findings either way. It costs nothing.
A fixed quote in plain English: what we'll build, what it will do, and what it costs. The number doesn't drift.
Short cycles, visible progress. You're looking at working software within weeks, not renderings of it.
We ship it, wire it into your systems, and stay close. You don't pay until it does the job we scoped.
06 / The Arrangement
Every engagement starts with a free audit. Every build ships against a written definition of done. If the software doesn't do what we scoped, you don't pay for it. Simple to say, rare to offer, easy to live with.
07 / Start Here
Bring us the process everyone dreads — the spreadsheet with nine tabs, the report that eats every Monday. We'll tell you, for free, what it would take to make it disappear. We reply within one business day.
