Who MODocs is For (And Who It’s Not)
When we started building MODocs, we didn’t set out to create “another documentation tool.”
There are already plenty of places to upload PDFs.
What we kept hearing from manufacturers was something very different:
“Our processes live in people’s heads.”
“We’re one resignation away from chaos.”
“We passed ISO, but keeping it up to date is a nightmare.”
“Training is informal and inconsistent.”
So we built MODocs for those problems.
Not everyone needs that level of structure and that’s okay.
This post is meant to help you decide quickly if MODocs makes sense for your organization.
MODocs Is For You If…
You’re serious about ISO 9001 (or thinking about starting)
If you’re on the path toward ISO 9001, you already know it’s not really about paperwork.
It’s about proving that:
Your processes are defined
People are trained
Changes are controlled
Issues are tracked and fixed
Where most companies struggle is the maintenance.
Spreadsheets get messy.
Documents drift out of sync.
Training records live in emails.
Audits turn into fire drills.
MODocs was built to make ISO readiness part of daily operations, not a once-a-year scramble.
Instead of bolting on tools, everything lives in one system: SOPs, training, audits, records, and analytics.
If your goal is to get audit-ready without hiring expensive consultants, this is exactly the gap we solve.
You rely heavily on tribal knowledge
Every manufacturer has a few key people who “just know” how things work.
They’ve been there forever.
They’ve seen everything break.
They quietly save the day.
The problem?
That knowledge isn’t written down.
We see this constantly:
Notes on sticky pads
Old Word files
Half-updated SharePoint folders
Processes that only exist in someone’s memory
MODocs makes it easy to capture that knowledge through:
Voice conversations
Guided interviews
Smart templates
We then structure it into clean, standardized SOPs that the whole organization can use.
No more guessing. No more “ask Bob.”
You want one system instead of duct-taped tools
Most teams today are juggling:
A doc system
A training tool
Spreadsheets
Audit trackers
Email approvals
Clipboards on the floor
It technically works… until it doesn’t.
MODocs replaces all of that with one platform:
Create SOPs
Turn them into training
Deploy digital checklists
Run internal audits
Track performance
Everything is connected.
No exporting. No manual syncing. No silos.
You have multiple shifts, sites, or languages
We’ve seen firsthand how documentation breaks down when:
Teams work different shifts
Sites operate independently
Operators aren’t native English speakers
This is where mistakes happen.
MODocs allows you to:
Translate SOPs side-by-side
Review them with humans in the loop
Deploy approved versions to the floor
When processes change, updates automatically flow to every language.
No more outdated translations floating around.
You care about adoption, not just compliance
Passing an audit feels good.
But what really matters is:
Are operators following the process?
Do they understand why?
Are issues getting flagged?
Is leadership seeing real data?
MODocs connects documentation directly to daily work through digital checklists, feedback, and analytics.
So you’re not just “compliant”, you’re actually improving.
MODocs Is NOT For You If…
You just want a place to store files
If your main goal is:
Upload PDFs
Organize folders
Archive Word docs
There are cheaper tools for that.
MODocs is about using documentation, not storing it.
You want a massive custom enterprise rollout
MODocs is built to:
Deploy quickly
Work out of the box
Improve fast
If you’re looking for:
6–12 month implementations
Custom-built workflows
Endless configuration
We’re probably not the right fit.
You’re not ready to standardize
MODocs works best when leadership believes in:
Standard work
Accountability
Continuous improvement
If your culture is:
“Everyone does it their own way”
No documentation ownership
No follow-through
This will feel uncomfortable because it introduces visibility.
You’re only looking for free tools
We build for manufacturers who:
Care about quality
Want real outcomes
See documentation as a business asset
If you’re just experimenting or want something free forever, we may not align.
Who We Typically Work With
Great fit
50–500 employee manufacturers
Electronics
Machining & fabrication
Contract Manufacturers
Growing teams
High turnover
Not ideal
Software companies
Solo operators
Teams that don’t touch production
The Bottom Line
MODocs is for teams who want:
✔ Less tribal knowledge
✔ Faster ISO readiness
✔ Better training
✔ Real process visibility
✔ Fewer mistakes
MODocs is not for:
✖ Static documentation
✖ File storage
✖ Checkbox compliance
Still not sure?
That’s okay.
We’ll tell you honestly if MODocs is right for you.
No sales pressure. No fluff.
