PSG-Backed MAPAL Group Adds GetCompliant to Its Software Solutions and Expands Presence in the Nordics
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. This transaction follows the acquisition of UK-based Flow Hospitality Training in December 2019 and US-based Cloud Reputation in 2020.
Founded in 2011 in Stockholm, Sweden, GetCompliant helps multi-site hospitality and retail businesses save time and ensure compliance and brand consistency between stores using a cloud-based solution that includes digital checklists, documentation management and performance tracking for food safety and operations. 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.”
