Building the future of back-of-house operations with Inpulse
Running a hospitality business today means juggling countless moving parts - stock, suppliers, margins, teams, compliance and cost control - often across multiple sites, systems and spreadsheets.
For operators, that complexity doesn’t just slow things down, it creates friction, inefficiency and missed opportunities to make better decisions.
That’s why we’re excited to share an important next step for Mapal Group: Inpulse is joining the Mapal family.
Inpulse is France’s leading AI-powered procurement and inventory-management solution for restaurant groups.
Its technology brings powerful capabilities in forecasting, ordering, stock control, production planning and food-cost optimisation helping operators protect margins and reduce waste in one of the most critical areas of hospitality operations.
This acquisition is driven by the real operational challenges hospitality teams face every day.
One platform, built for operational reality
For years, hospitality operators have been forced to choose between two imperfect options: a single vendor suite with limited depth or a patchwork of specialist tools that don’t talk to each other.
Neither approach truly reflects the reality of running hospitality operations at scale.
Mapal’s vision is different.
By bringing best-in-class specialist capabilities together into one unified back-of-house platform, Mapal OS allows operators to manage their operations with clarity, consistency and control without jumping between disconnected systems.
The addition of Inpulse strengthens this vision even further.
Strengthening inventory, procurement and cost control
Inventory and procurement sit at the heart of hospitality performance. Get them wrong, and margins disappear fast.
With Inpulse now part of Mapal OS, Mapal brings together market-leading inventory, procurement and operational capabilities under a single product ecosystem, purpose-built for hospitality groups.
By combining the strengths of Inpulse and Easilys, Mapal now offers one of the strongest inventory-management propositions in the European hospitality market.
For operators, that means better forecasts, smarter purchasing decisions, tighter cost control and less manual work for teams on the ground.
Laying the foundation for AI-driven operations
This unified platform approach also unlocks something bigger.
By connecting workforce management, inventory, compliance, maintenance, operations and analytics within Mapal OS, we’re laying the foundation for Mapal’s AI Manager, an intelligent layer designed to guide managers, simplify decision-making and automate everyday operational tasks.
AI can only deliver real value when it’s built on connected data and workflows. As a pioneer of predictive AI in food tech, with native algorithms at its core, Inpulse strengthens Mapal OS and brings us one step closer to that reality.
Welcoming the Inpulse team
We’re thrilled to welcome Brice Konda, Valentin Pignolet and the entire Inpulse team to Mapal.
Inpulse’s growth has been driven by a combination of outstanding technology and some of the highest customer-satisfaction levels we’ve seen in hospitality tech and that focus on practical outcomes is a natural fit with how Mapal builds its products.
Together, we share a clear ambition: to help hospitality operators run smarter, more efficient and more connected businesses across Europe, and beyond.
A new chapter for Mapal OS
This acquisition marks Mapal’s first since Eurazeo’s investment in the Group, and an important milestone in our journey to build the most complete back-of-house platform for hospitality.
Because great hospitality doesn’t happen by chance.
It’s built on systems that work together, data that tells the full story and teams that are supported by technology designed for the real world.
With Inpulse joining Mapal OS, that future is one step closer.
