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.
