Inpulse joins the Mapal group

 The Mapal group welcomes Inpulse into its ecosystem

The Mapal group, a pan-European leader in software for the hotel and catering industry, supported by Eurazeo and PSG, announces the acquisition of Inpulse, a leading French solution in inventory and inventory management based on artificial intelligence for restaurant groups.

This operation is part of Mapal's long-term strategy to build the most complete back-office platform on the market for hotel and restaurant groups. The objective is to offer a unified and integrated experience, allowing operational teams to manage and optimize all of their processes without depending on multiple disconnected tools.

Strengthening Mapal's integrated platform strategy

In recent years, Mapal has integrated into its Mapal OS ecosystem several reference solutions such as Flow (United Kingdom), GetCompliant (Sweden), Easilys (France) and Guudjob (France) and Guudjob (Spain). The arrival of Inpulse now reinforces the offer by comprehensively covering a strategic area for catering groups: inventory management, purchasing and food cost control.

By combining Easilys (intended for collective catering, central kitchens and hotels) and Inpulse (specialized in catering groups, bakeries and coffee shops), Mapal now offers the most complete offer on the European market in terms of inventory management.

This unified platform also lays the foundations for Mapal AI Manager, an artificial intelligence layer integrated into MapalOS, designed to guide managers, simplify decision-making and automate operational tasks. This innovation is made possible thanks to the centralization of all back-office processes, team management, teams, stocks, compliance, operations, maintenance, etc., within a single platform where data and workflows are connected natively.

This transaction marks the first acquisition made by Mapal since Eurazeo finalized its investment in the company.

Jorge Lurueña, founder and president of Mapal Group

“Hotel and catering players have long had to choose between two imperfect models: limited and low-performing software suites or a set of specialized but disconnected tools, forcing managers to juggle multiple interfaces and fragmented data.

Mapal OS combines the best of both worlds: a single platform, easy to use, with a centralized interface and true operational coherence, built from the best specialized solutions on the market.

Inpulse fits perfectly into this vision, by providing reference inventory and inventory management for catering, in order to offer a smooth and consistent back office experience to groups.”

Christian Fleck, CEO of Mapal Group

“We are delighted to welcome Brice, Valentin and all the Inpulse teams to Mapal. Their technology is distinguished by its sophistication, but also by the clarity of the problem it solves and by the concrete impact it generates.

Inpulse has grown rapidly, driven by an excellent product and some of the highest levels of customer satisfaction in the hospitality technology market.”

Founded in 2018, Inpulse has established itself as the reference platform in France for the management of multi-site catering networks. A pioneer in the use of artificial intelligence, it makes it possible to automate sales forecasts, stock and inventory management, production planning, invoice reconciliation and cost control, allowing its customers to gain up to 5 points of margin on their material costs.

The integration of Inpulse into Mapal Group gives it the power of an international player to accelerate its global development and make its technology accessible to more players in the hotel and catering industry, while maintaining its expertise and leadership.

Brice Konda & Valentin Pignolet, founders of Inpulse

“Joining Mapal marks another exciting step for Inpulse. Since the beginning, our mission has always been to help restaurant owners optimize their margins and simplify inventory management. By joining Mapal, we can now make our technology available to restaurant owners around the world and make AI-based inventory optimization accessible to everyone.

Our customers will also benefit from this integration: Inpulse becomes an integral component of Mapal OS, a complete platform that connects all back-office processes and simplifies the daily life of teams, while maintaining our vision and our DNA.

This will allow us to accelerate our international development, guided by a common vision: to offer a cutting-edge tool and an AI manager that will revolutionize the sector.

For our teams, it is a unique opportunity to join one of the world leaders in software for the hotel and catering industry, to open up new opportunities for growth and to continue to shape the future of Inpulse with the strength and scale of Mapal behind us.”
