Metanous operates in two specialized domains: Metanous Smart & Connected focuses on machine builders and installation companies that want to connect their machines to the cloud and turn data into insights. Metanous Insurance focuses on brokers, insurers, and wealth planners who want to automate and modernize their policy and claims processes.

Both. In addition to building new software from the ground up, Metanous also offers modernization of existing systems. Outdated tools, legacy applications, or fragmented workflows are gradually transformed into scalable, future-proof solutions.
