The MAPPING Group


Known as MAPPING for the last 20 years, the company has now become the MAPPING Group with a view to distinguishing the printing division from the retail & customer relations division.

The activities of the newborn MAPPING Group are now clearly divided into two separate entities: MAPPING Suite as the output management solution and MAXXING as the customer relations solution. With a different range of products and different markets, we felt we had to clarify both our solution offering and internal structure.


MAPPING: The Printing Specialists

Innovative print management for over 20 years

MAPPING is a software development company specializing in output management applications designed to provide cost-effective enterprise document management solutions to a wide range of businesses.

 MAPPING Another way to manage documents

A market leader with over 5000 satisfied customers

MAPPING's customers are from all major business sectors including but not limited to Banking, Insurance, Transportation, Healthcare, Retail, and Manufacturing. Since its inception, it has quickly gained worldwide recognition thanks to the quality of and innovative approach applied to its powerful and yet easy-to-use tools. MAPPING Suite is a modular software suite that enables complete data output automation and is compatible with major production operating systems including IBM Power systems (i and p Series), UNIX/LINUX, and Windows.

Referencing as proof of technical and functional quality

MAPPING's strong partnerships have led MAPPING Suite to be referenced in the IBM worldwide catalogue and distributed by a network of partners via IPS (InfoPrint Solutions - Joint venture IBM/Ricoh) worldwide. As such, MAPPING has now become an output management industry benchmark on a global scale.

Since 2004, MAPPING has been a member of the Aproged (a major French association of IT companies) and became SAP certified in 2007. In February 2009, MAPPING became a SAGE partner, which then led to the release of the GREENPAGE solution dedicated to SAGE users.


MAXXING: Innovative and Targeted Promotions Management

In 2006, MAPPING leveraged its 20 years' experience in printing to design its own Couponing solution for the Retail industry. What was a Couponing solution at first soon became a Promotions design and execution solution and has now grown into a full-fledged Customer Relations, Targeting and Campaign management solution.
