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.”
MAPAL Group is backed by funds advised by PSG, a leading growth equity firm partnering with lower middle-market software and technology-enabled service companies. 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.
