About Mantum
Founded 2026. We replace the spreadsheet, the inbox pile, and the leftover software with a private system that matches how the floor already runs, then we keep changing it with you.
We scope one broken process (or a few that must talk), then ship a custom system you can run. Build pricing depends on the project after discovery. Published bands on Pricing today: one process $7K–$15K; a few systems talking $15K–$30K; the floor on one platform $30K+. Scoped to the work, not pulled off a fixed menu.
Every system we host sits on managed infrastructure: hosting, uptime monitoring, built-in AI model credits, SSL, backups, patches, and a health dashboard. Foundation is $199/mo and required while we host the system. Access needs an active plan.
After the build ships, the system evolves with monthly Innovation Credit plans on top of Foundation. Maintain is $249/mo for the plan ($448/mo total with Foundation) and 5 credits. Evolve is $499/mo ($698/mo total) and 25 credits. Dominate is $799/mo ($998/mo total) and 75 credits. Credits measure output, not hours: 1 credit for a surface tweak, 5 for a logic shift or integration, 20 for a new module. Full table on Pricing.
We start from the floor, not a product catalog. Quoting, intake, scheduling, CRM, handoffs: the system follows your process instead of asking the team to contort into a vertical SaaS template.
You are not renting someone else's roadmap. The workflow and the data live in a system built for your shop. When the process changes, the software can change with it.
On ALO Property Group's CRM, floor changes go live in days. Hundreds of product updates shipped in 45 days. Feedback often lands the same day or inside 48 hours. That is the bar we aim for when the floor asks for a change.
Lifecycle work is sized in Innovation Credits tied to deliverables (tweak, logic shift, module), not open-ended hours. You see what a change costs in output before it ships.
What you should compare us to depends on the project. Some owners are stuck after buying ChatGPT or other AI seats while the money work still sits in spreadsheets and email. Some are fighting a generic vertical SaaS that only half fits. Some already tried a traditional agency or custom shop that froze the build for months after launch. Mantum is the custom system for one workflow, then the next, with a monthly stay-on-it lifecycle when that is the job.
Dustin Deno, Founder & CEO. He spent eight years in a family machine shop, then 15 years in tech and AI. He cut his teeth at Salesforce, then held CRO roles at Amper Technologies and Affinity.co, building revenue engines from $25M to $100M+. After watching small and medium-sized businesses struggle with bloated, generic software, he founded Mantum to build the broken workflow as software that matches how the floor already runs.
Connect on LinkedInMantum started because SMBs deserve serious software without a Fortune 500 budget or a long freeze after launch. One process. Built for the people doing the work. Changed when the floor is right.
Email and calls with Dustin. Contact is the front door when you want to tell us what is broken.
Owners and operators on your side. Dustin on ours.
Discovery on the real workflow. A working prototype you can react to, not a slide deck. The Build ships to production. Foundation keeps it hosted. Lifecycle credits keep it moving after launch.
We learn how the floor already runs, scope the first process, and build it as custom software in days, not months. Then we harden it for production. We set the timeline with you once we know the workflow.

No. Mantum is a company that builds custom systems for small and medium-sized businesses. Mantium was a separate Ohio AI company (New Albany area) that wound down in 2024. Same-looking name. Different company, product, and city. We did not buy them and we do not run their product. See also Not Mantium on this site.
No. Mantum.ai is the software company described on this page. Separate brands use similar spellings in logistics and in other software categories (for example Mantle products for funds or agent context). Those are different products, and we don't offer them.
We sell a custom Build for a real workflow, Foundation to keep it hosted, and Lifecycle credits so the system can change after launch. Seats alone leave the money work in the spreadsheet. We build the system for that work.
Custom software in days, not months. We put a working prototype in your hands, then ship The Build to production. On ALO CRM, floor updates have gone live in days, with hundreds of product changes in 45 days and feedback often inside 48 hours. Every project follows the same factory process, and we agree the timeline with you once the scope is set.
Owner, partner, or president at a small or medium-sized business where a legacy or ops-heavy process still runs on spreadsheets, email, or leftover software. If you only need a packaged vertical SaaS, we are probably the wrong call.
Foundation is $199/mo while we host, and access needs an active plan. Lifecycle plans add Maintain, Evolve, or Dominate credit packs on a monthly basis. Current dollars and credit sizes are on Pricing. If you need a custom plan or service terms, we put them in writing before you sign.
