HR Path has acquired ModusForce, a UK-based Dayforce consultancy, to expand its Dayforce and HCM capabilities across the UK and Ireland, the company announced. Terms were not disclosed.

ModusForce specializes in Dayforce and Dayforce HCM consulting — advisory, implementation, change and optimization — plus payroll, workforce management and managed support. Folding it in extends HR Path's Dayforce practice in two markets where HCM implementation talent is in short supply.

"The acquisition of ModusForce is a strategic move that supports our ambition to be the global reference in HR transformation," said Chris Howarth, a Partner at HR Path.

Founded in 2001, HR Path is a global HR consulting and HRIS firm with about 2,900 professionals across 34 countries. The deal continues an active run of platform-consulting acquisitions — following Three Plus Consulting (Workday, 2024), IntSys (Workday, 2025) and Eaton Square (2025) — on the back of a recent ~$1B Ardian-led financing to fund global expansion.

Why it matters

HR Path is rolling up HCM implementation consultancies platform by platform — Workday via Three Plus and IntSys, now Dayforce via ModusForce — assembling a multi-platform HR-transformation services group on the back of ~$1B in fresh capital. For HR buyers and for the HCM vendors themselves, it signals consolidation of the scarce implementation-partner layer (the firms that actually deploy Dayforce and Workday) into fewer, larger hands.
