“We chose Inpulse because it is the only inventory management software that allows us to forecast sales using artificial intelligence.”
Sébastien Médouze
Gruppomimo Operations Director
The first Gruppomimo restaurant opened in February 2021. Since then, a strong acceleration with 5 openings in 18 months, 3 new addresses planned by the end of 2023 and a development objective of 40 openings by 2025.
To support this rapid development, the brand has chosen to equip itself with an effective and expert tool in multi-site management, as highlighted by Edouard Hausseguy, co-founder of Gruppomimo :
“Gruppomimo is experiencing rapid growth, we chose Inpulse to effectively structure the procurement process for our restaurants, reduce stockouts and impact sales.”
According to Sébastien Médouze, there were 3 major challenges to optimize the group's growth and profitability:
Previously, it took Sébastien several weeks to have access to material cost data from the previous month. With Inpulse, the data is updated daily and allows Gruppomimo to follow the evolution of material costs. The implementation of Inpulse also makes it possible to compare addresses and to see if there are good practices to be duplicated from one restaurant to another. The challenge is to consolidate processes, in order to put brand development at the heart of new openings.
To develop quickly, you need to be able to train your teams quickly. Inpulse makes it possible to accurately estimate the turnover of the 9 restaurants, but also to easily onboard managers by allowing them to order at the right time.
At Gruppomimo, there are young managers, sometimes inexperienced in inventory management. Sébastien Médouze had noticed a problem of shortage of stock on certain references, which was due to the underestimation of the supply.
“Inpulse is the only inventory management software that allows us to forecast sales using artificial intelligence. The real change is that we take into account all factors, whether it's the weather, sporting events. Inpulse prevents us from running out of stock and allows managers to quickly reach their margin goals.”

“I save around 20 to 30 minutes on my order taking every day with Inpulse.”
Here is the video testimony of Tiphaine, director of the Gruppomimo restaurant in Batignolles for 1 year now. She shares her Inpulse experience with us.
“Before, we ordered from our suppliers via WhatsApp, or by phone. There was a lack of follow-up with orders and suppliers.
With Inpulse, stock management is more precise, there is no longer any shortage of stock.
We manage conservation deadlines much better, we will have a FIFO (First In First Out) that is much more accurate and therefore it generates much fewer losses. I use Inpulse to do inventories, which allows me to have a comparison of theoretical and real stock states in order to be able to target my markdown.
“Inpulse saves a lot of time and allows me to better take care of my teams and my customers.” Tiphaine Bourel, Director of Gruppomimo Batignolles
