History

From the origins to listing on the stock exchange. A history built on the sharing of knowledge.

The company path began in 2002: MAPS was born as a software house with a strong inclination for cutting-edge development methodologies and software technologies.

And the first change came soon, in 2007. With the arrival of new partners and changes in the managerial positions, the focus shifted to strategic services for more complex contexts, represented by large service providers and Public Administrations.

In 2011, MAPS began to focus on new assets in the healthcare market.
Business development continued with the acquisition and creation of a network of specialist companies: IG Consulting, Memelabs and Artexe – implementing new products for performance monitoring and management control in public bodies (especially healthcare facilities) – and Roialty, with progressive profiling and digital loyalty tools.

From 2016 new objectives were set: to promote the Research and Development of solutions, again focusing on listening to the needs of users and the coherence of its product range, intensifying its presence in the Retail sector.

From 2011 until 2019 the company continued to grow progressively. In eight years, Maps Group became a robust business with a turnover of around €17 million and over 180 staff working in 5 branches across Italy: Parma, Milan, Modena, Prato and Genoa.

In 2019 a new business development project was launched, listing the company on the Italian stock market, Borsa Italiana, in the AIM segment: for Maps Group, access to the financial market was an opportunity to further accelerate its development plans and, above all, consolidate its culture of transparency, ethics and sustainability that is typical of any modern public company.

In 2020, Maps Group simplified its corporate structure through the merger by incorporation of Roialty S.r.l. and Memelabs S.r.l. into Maps S.p.a., and IG Consulting S.r.l. into Artexe S.p.a.. Through the subsidiary MAPS Healthcare, it also undersigned a definitive contract for the acquisition of 100% of SCS Computers S.r.l., a major name in the supply of integrated Hardware/Software systems for the Healthcare market. Again via the subsidiary MAPS Healthcare, Maps Group established Micuro S.r.l., an innovative start-up working in the insurtech sector, aiming to innovate its personal services in the insurance sector. The group has a turnover of around €18 million and approximately 200 staff.
