The Two-Way Customer Interaction Platform for Heavy Equipment Dealers

Modern gives your dealership one connected platform to handle every customer conversation, approval, and update from intake to invoice.

Our All-In-One Communication Software Solution

Modern powers heavy equipment dealerships across the mainland USA and Canada, helping your service team move faster, communicate clearer, and grow service revenue every day.

Two-Way Text & Email Communication

Your customers already live on text, and Modern meets them there with a frictionless messaging experience that turns every quick reply into faster service revenue.

Repair Order Approvals

Stop chasing customers for sign-offs. Modern delivers digital approvals your customers can review and authorize on their phone the moment your estimate lands.

Inspections / Warranty

Equip your techs with digital inspection forms they can complete in minutes, complete with visual evidence that streamlines your warranty submissions.

Outbound Communication

Turn missed maintenance opportunities into booked appointments. Modern proactively reaches customers when their equipment needs attention, filling your bays during the slowest weeks of the year.

Rental Equipment Communication

Eliminate the costly disputes that drag down your rental margins. Modern documents the entire rental lifecycle so your team always has the proof on hand when it matters.

Over-the-Counter Parts

Modern transforms your parts counter into a 24/7 status hub, automatically updating customers on every order so your team can focus on selling instead of fielding callbacks.

DMS Integration

Modern syncs cleanly with the dealer management system you already trust, giving your team live data without ever touching, writing to, or compromising your core platform.

Scheduling

Modern brings order to your service calendar so your shop runs predictably, your bay turn improves, and your team always knows what is rolling in next.

Field Service Communication

Empower your traveling techs to invoice, document, and update from anywhere, turning every truck into a fully connected service extension of your dealership.
