Our Mission

Make Compliance Automatic, Accurate, and Stress-Free

Facilities teams are the backbone of patient safety, yet they are often burdened by repetitive, manual compliance tasks. Our mission is to lift that burden. By automating testing for emergency lights, fire extinguishers, and environmental conditions, we free facilities professionals to focus on the maintenance work that keeps every building operating safely.
Hexmodal began with a simple question from a facilities manager: "Why am I still paying skilled staff to climb ladders and push buttons on exit signs?" Founders Christopher Hariz and Utkarsh Shah realized that while the rest of the world was getting smarter, compliance hardware was stuck in the past. They built Hexmodal to bridge that gap, creating industrial-grade smart devices that install in minutes and work without complex IT infrastructure.

How we started
Hexmodal was founded in 2018 after a straightforward question from a facilities manager: "Why am I still paying skilled staff to climb ladders and push buttons on exit signs?
Founders Christopher Hariz and Utkarsh Shah saw that while the rest of the world was adopting connected technology, compliance hardware had barely changed in decades. Paper tags. Manual rounds. Binders full of handwritten logs. They built Hexmodal to close that gap — starting with the devices facilities teams use every day and the requirements they're measured against every year.
Every design decision since has come from the same place: build tools that work as hard as the people using them, require no IT involvement, and make compliance something that happens in the background — not something that consumes a workday.

    Hexmodal gets me back hours every month that I used to lose testing lights by hand. Now testing lights isn't even something I think about.
