Connect your POS.
Let AI run the rest.
Mantis is the agentic operating system that plugs into the point-of-sale every small and medium business already runs. It turns each transaction into foresight: predicting demand, automating ordering and pricing, planning labour, and protecting margin. Every action is human-approved.
Works with the POS & tools you already run
A new way to operate
Stop guessing. Start compounding.
Most small and medium businesses run on memory, spreadsheets, and luck. Mantis replaces that with a crew of AI agents that already know your numbers, handling demand forecasting, ordering, pricing, labour, and cashflow. Every recommendation waits for your team to approve.
Before
With Mantis
Five dashboards → one conversation
Ditch the spreadsheets, group chats, and the apps no one opens. Ask Mantis anything in plain English: sales, stock, pricing, staffing, suppliers, cashflow. It reads every system and answers like a sharp operator who knows your business.
Gut feel → institutional memory
Mantis remembers every promotion, every weather spike, every supplier change and shift note. Your hard-won knowledge compounds in the business instead of walking out the door with your best people.
Black box → judgment, amplified
Mantis never decides behind your back. It surfaces clear options with the reasoning in full. You review, tweak, and approve. Owner plus AI beats either one alone.
The platform
One layer on your POS. Four superpowers.
Mantis connects to what you have, learns your business overnight, and gives you one place to run it. Cloud by default, with optional private on-prem deployment.
Works with what you have
No new tills, no rip-and-replace. Mantis connects to your existing POS, payments, inventory, and accounting in minutes, then organises the fragmented data for you.
Smarter every night
While you sleep, Mantis runs thousands of scenarios on your real sales and prepares ordering, pricing, and labour recommendations so you wake up to a clear plan.
One brain across every location
Run a single site or fifty. Every location gets its own plan, and the numbers roll up so you can compare, standardise, and act across the whole business.
You approve everything
Mantis proposes; you decide. Every price change and order waits for one-click approval, with clear reasoning and a full audit trail behind it.
How it works
Set it up. Let it learn. Approve the plan.
Connect once, then just scroll. The plan builds itself, step by step.
One layer. All your systems.
Mantis connects to the POS you already run, plus payments, inventory, suppliers, accounting, and spreadsheets. Everything lands in one place, so you stop hunting across apps and just ask questions in plain English.
Map reality. Simulate tomorrow.
Every night, Mantis runs thousands of scenarios using signals from the tools you trust: your POS sales, Met Office weather, Eventbrite events, and Google Trends demand. It prepares recommendations for ordering, pricing, staffing, and margin, ready for review.
Review the logic. Approve. Done.
By 6 AM your daily plan is waiting in one place. Review, tweak, or approve with one click. Mantis handles execution: updating prices, sending orders, logging everything. You stay in the room; the busywork doesn't.
What's under the hood
Serious technology. Simple for you.
Connects to what you have
Mantis plugs straight into your existing POS, payments, and back-office tools, then organises the messy data automatically. No new hardware, no rip-and-replace.
- Connects to your POS, payments, inventory, accounting, and rota tools
- One place to ask questions across every system, not five dashboards
- Cloud by default, with optional private on-prem deployment
- You stay in control, with no black boxes
The impact
Real outcomes for real businesses. One site or many.
Across inventory, pricing, labour, and daily operations, Mantis works from your actual sales and local reality, never industry averages.
Typical results from early deployments. Your numbers will vary by business.
Why now
The timing is right.
Three shifts put real operational AI within reach of every small and medium business.
POS has opened up
Modern POS and payment platforms now expose clean, real-time APIs. The data has finally become reachable for every small business.
Agents are ready
Reliable, tool-using AI agents can now reason over messy operational data and act safely, under human approval, at SME price points.
Margins are under pressure
Inflation, labour costs, and thinning margins mean SMEs need an edge. Mantis turns their own data into one.
The foundations
Built to last.
A few principles we don't compromise on.
An original approach
- An agentic operating layer on top of the POS, not another dashboard
- Privacy-preserving intelligence that sharpens with every business
- Human-in-the-loop governance baked in, not bolted on
Grounded in reality
- Connects to tools businesses already own, with no new hardware
- Pays for itself: margin protected and dozens of admin hours saved each month
- Cloud by default, with optional private on-prem for sensitive operators
Works at any size
- One integration layer extends to any POS, any sector, any region
- Runs a single site or many locations from one place
- Grows with you, from first till to nationwide rollout
