About

In Mantis we offer a holistic solution - Mantis IMS (Innovation Management System), reassuring the digital transformation of public and private organizations in terms of innovation/funding programs. We automate procedures and provide a triple system for submission–evaluation–monitor of data. By using the Mantis IMS it’s faster than ever to create custom application and evaluation forms. It is a business intelligence (BI) platform that helps our clients to gather, understand, and visualize their data. It serves as the backbone of a client's BI strategy, which is how an organization uses information to make better decisions. We develop a clear strategy, offering expertise in the decision making process for every organization who needs to minimize their investment risk, to have metrics, KPIs and real time analytics to evaluate the new ventures with a transparent method. Mantis IMS is a time savior platform that minimises paperwork, automates processes and eliminates effort.

Solution & Product

The main goal of the company within the next period is to expand into new markets in neighboring countries and especially in Italy, developing its extroversion, while already counting partnerships in Greece, Poland, Serbia, Croatia and England. Although Mantis IMS was launched in 2019, our SaaS business model allows it to be purchased from our website by customers from all over the world. Governments such as Bahrain and Cyprus, as well as the EIT for all European countries, are already in contact with us for a collaboration. Even though we are currently offering automated procedures for our clients in the startup ecosystem, Mantis will soon offer the same services in other industries with the same needs. Business plans, research proposals, Corporate Social Responsibility proposals, control and monitoring of Registries, evaluation of industrial and environmental activity, are some of the cases of utilization of the platform that Mantis will chase after within the next period.
