HALIFAX, NS: Metaworks is pleased to announce the signing of a contract for the roll out of its flagship solution, Mantis™ with A.S. May Powell Corporation, an Ontario-based National Food Broker.
 
Developed for brokers, manufacturers and sales agents in the Consumer Packaged Goods industry, Mantis is a data collection and reporting system based upon handheld, wireless and Internet technologies.
