METERA SSi™ Technology
Smarter product selection for the METERA range.
SSi™ Technology is the product intelligence layer behind METERA. It is designed to help customers and distributors understand which METERA product pathway may fit their soil, plant, pressure and use-area context.
What it is
A METERA product intelligence system.
SSi™ Technology helps organise METERA products by role, use area, site context and product pathway.
Rather than choosing products by guesswork, SSi™ supports a simple product selection logic: understand the need, choose the pathway, then match the product where suitable.
METERA product pathways
SSi™ starts with product role.
METERA products are organised into Soil, Plant and Protect pathways. SSi™ Technology helps connect the customer’s need to the right pathway before selecting a product.
Soil biology support.
For situations where the priority is microbial activity, soil profile support, carbon support or broader soil biology programme fit.
Plant function support.
For situations where the priority is root, shoot, plant function or growth-stage support within a broader programme.
Pressure support.
For situations where fungal, nematode, seasonal or management pressure may require a targeted support pathway.
How SSi™ works
From site context to product pathway.
SSi™ Technology is designed to simplify METERA product selection by using a role-first process.
Identify the setting.
Agriculture, turf, lawn, garden, contractor programme or managed landscape.
Understand conditions.
Consider soil condition, water, season, current inputs, pressure history and management.
Clarify the role.
Decide whether the main need is soil support, plant function support or pressure support.
Choose the pathway.
Connect the need to the most suitable METERA Soil, Plant or Protect pathway.
Apply with context.
Position the product within the broader soil, plant, water and management programme.
Observe and adjust.
Track site response, application timing and management conditions over time.
Product intelligence
How SSi™ connects to the METERA range.
SSi™ helps explain product fit by matching each METERA product to its role in the broader range.
| METERA product | SSi™ pathway | Product selection logic |
|---|---|---|
| Soil Core 3 | METERA Soil | Used where core microbial soil support may fit the soil profile and programme objective. |
| Soil Core 5 | METERA Soil | Used where broader microbial soil support may be suitable for a more developed soil biology programme. |
| Soil Carbon Matrix | METERA Soil Support | Used where plant-based carbon support may help support the environment where biology operates. |
| Plant Signal | METERA Plant | Used where plant function, root, shoot or growth-stage support may fit the programme. |
| BioShield | METERA Protect | Used where fungal pressure or plant and root-zone resilience support fits the situation. |
| BTA Guard | METERA Protect | Used where nematode pressure or root-zone resilience support fits the site and management context. |
Use areas
SSi™ helps apply METERA products across different markets.
The same METERA product range may be used differently depending on the site, customer type and programme objective.
Pasture, broadacre and horticulture.
Helps connect soil biology and plant function priorities to the appropriate METERA pathway.
Sports and managed surfaces.
Helps consider root-zone condition, pressure history and programme fit for turf systems.
Soil-first lawn support.
Helps simplify product choice for homeowners, contractors and lawn care programmes.
Biological support for home gardens.
Helps household users understand whether Soil, Plant or Protect support may fit the situation.
Repeatable customer conversations.
Helps contractors explain product fit clearly without relying on vague or overclaimed language.
Clearer reseller guidance.
Helps distributors position METERA products by product role and programme fit.
Distributor support
Helping resellers explain METERA products clearly.
SSi™ Technology gives distributors and sales partners a clearer way to discuss METERA product fit without relying on vague claims.
Less confusion.
Soil, Plant and Protect pathways make it easier to explain where each product fits.
Better questions.
SSi™ encourages sales conversations based on use area, soil context, pressure and management goal.
More practical recommendations.
Products are positioned within broader programmes rather than treated as one-size-fits-all solutions.
Next step
Find the METERA product pathway that fits.
Start with your use area, current issue, soil or plant objective, and any pressure history. SSi™ Technology helps guide the conversation toward the right METERA pathway.
