Modulo

What Modulo does

Modulo (legal entity MODULO SAS) is a Paris-based digital agency founded in 2005 by Benjamin Rowlson, operating as a private French SAS with a team of approximately 15 senior experts. The firm provides four core service lines: custom web development (CMS-based on WordPress, Magento, PrestaShop, or "From Scratch" builds), mobile and web application development (iOS and Android via React and React Native), UX/UI design and motion design, and innovation services including proof-of-concept development and eco-responsibility consulting. The technology stack is conventional and broad: WordPress, Magento, React Native, PHP 8, Python, CSS/HTML5, with proprietary custom-built modules for translation workflows, information system synchronization, CRM, and interactive mapping.

The agency's revenue model is project-based professional services with no disclosed pricing tiers and no SaaS/recurring software product. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct outreach, referrals, and existing client relationships rather than channels or marketplaces. Customer concentration is distributed across roughly a dozen named enterprise and institutional clients in music rights (Adami, Bureau Export/CNM, What The France, Buffet Crampon), industrial airport equipment (TLD Group and three subsidiaries), healthcare (CH4V, Medela France, Groupe Profession Santé), finance (Perceval Finance), and consumer products (Velux). Several relationships span 6-10+ years with ongoing hosting, maintenance, and evolution work, indicating sticky recurring engagement.

Notable flagship projects include the Adami artist relations platform (48,000 accounts, 133,000 procedures), the Buffet Crampon WordPress multisite unifying 12 wind-instrument brands, the TLD Group multilingual ecosystem across 8 languages, the Bureau Export custom CRM and tag-based newsletter system, and the production of 100+ mini-sites annually for Groupe Profession Santé. Geographic scope is limited to France (Paris metropolitan area and Western Europe) with no foreign offices. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no AI/ML capabilities, no patents, and no M&A activity; the company operates as a founder-controlled, organically-funded boutique consultancy.
