Modus-O provides calibration and metrology management tools for field work and calibration labs. It tracks assets from acquisition through retirement or destruction and records maintenance. Work orders can cover one or multiple assets, go to multiple team members, and automatically add line items for assets and related procedures. During calibration, the system calculates combined uncertainty from base specifications and asset-specific repeatability and reproducibility data, with expanded uncertainty updating during the work. It generates customizable calibration certificates for accredited assets conforming to NIST, ISO 17025, and ANSI Z540 standards. Clients can view assets, make limited updates, and request service through a portal; requests stage a pending work order for dispatch. Procedure and qualifications management and built-in auditing assist with compliance involving ISO, FDA, GxP, HAACP, and FAA. An API and pre-built ERP interfaces sync accounts, contacts, and assets. Mobile users access service data in a browser, including offline. Pricing starts at $95 a month per user license, and customers start with a fully functional 14-day trial.
