SoloFire is a Bigtincan alternative for medical device and life science field teams. Bigtincan — which had earlier absorbed Modus, the manufacturing and medical offline specialist — merged with Showpad under Vector Capital in October 2025, and customers are being consolidated onto the combined platform. If your team came to Bigtincan or Modus for offline field selling in medtech, SoloFire is the independent platform still built for exactly that.
Modus made its name on offline content for manufacturing and medical device field teams — then was absorbed into Bigtincan, which is now being unified into Showpad. SoloFire is offline-first for hospitals, ORs, and labs, and medtech is not a vertical page here: it is the whole company.
When platforms consolidate, customers get migrated — new UI, new admin model, new contract. Before accepting a migration you never asked for, put your content in SoloFire and compare the field experience side by side.
SoloFire is independent: same team, same roadmap, one product line. No integration project between overlapping platforms, no waiting to learn which features survive consolidation.
Core $30 and Enterprise $40 per user per month, AI included, no user minimums, no implementation fee — and teams are typically live in about a day with training included.
