Modern

Modern (modernis.com) is a two-way customer interaction platform for heavy-equipment dealerships, unifying service communications "from intake to invoice" across construction, agriculture, mining, landscaping, and material-handling sectors. It provides two-way text and email messaging, digital repair-order approvals, inspection and warranty documentation, outbound maintenance scheduling, rental tracking, parts-order status, and DMS integration. The MODERN Partner API (docs.modernis.com, base https://connect.modernis.com) lets authorized integrators read dealership dashboards, manage service work orders, post work-order events, send customer notifications, and maintain technicians and notes on a franchise's behalf using 24-hour bearer tokens exchanged from franchise credentials.

Modern publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Dashboards API, Events API, Federation API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, Heavy Equipment, Dealership, Field Service, and Work Orders.

Modern’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, authentication, and 8 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/modern: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
