Question 1

Is Mantum the same as Mantium?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Is Mantum related to Swedish Mantum logistics or to Mantle products?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Do you sell ChatGPT seats or another SaaS subscription?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

How fast do you ship?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Who is a good fit?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

What does it cost after the build?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

Where can I see proof?

Accepted Answer

Our featured client is ALO Property Group. Start with the ALO customer story on Work. Category examples (operations platforms, portals, integrations) are listed there too.
