MAPAL Group, the European developer and provider of hospitality management software solutions, today announced the acquisition of GetCompliant, a leading compliance and operations management solution provider in the Nordics.
The acquisition is the latest in a series of investments by MAPAL Group in complementary hospitality technologies, with a view to combining solutions to create a powerful, integrated back of house multi-site operating system for the hospitality sector.

The solution is used by firms in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Germany and France, including Caffè Nero, Compass Group, Espresso House, SSP, Coop, 7-Eleven and Bastard Burgers.
Jorge Lurueña, Founder and CEO of MAPAL Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome the GetCompliant team to MAPAL Group as we look to provide our customers with a best-in-class operations and compliance suite and to further expand our presence across the Nordics and Baltics.”
Peder Lindencrona, CEO and Co-Founder of GetCompliant, added, “We are excited to become part of the MAPAL Group story. Their established footprint across Europe and Latin America combined with their collaborative approach make MAPAL Group the right partner to take GetCompliant to the next level. Our clients had long been telling us of the added benefits they would enjoy if we could combine our solution with a broader set of digital tools, such as learning and workforce management – this partnership will help them to greatly improve their operations, while also allowing the existing customers of MAPAL Group to leverage the many benefits of the GetCompliant solution.”

PSG invested in MAPAL Group in 2019 to support the company’s founder and management team in transforming the European hospitality industry by providing modern back of house software solutions.

Agent Assurance by TestMu AI Is Now Generally Available, Letting Teams Test What Their AI Agents Actually Change26.10.2026 17:15:00 EET | Press release
TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the world's first Agentic AI-powered Quality Engineering platform, today announced the general availability of Agent Assurance. Agent Assurance tests AI agents that take actions, such as calling tools, writing files, and changing records, by checking what a run actually changed rather than what the agent says it did. Any team can now create a TestMu AI account and run it against its own agent without booking a demo first.
