Quick Answer: MAPOS is a cloud-based, modular ERP system developed by I-MAD Technology, headquartered in Ainab, Lebanon. It offers CRM, Inventory, Accounting, Orders, POS, Manufacturing, and Project Management modules starting at $84/user/year. Designed for SMBs in Lebanon and the GCC, MAPOS supports multi-currency (LBP/USD), Arabic language, and integrates with e-commerce platforms, mobile apps, and AI tools.
Choosing an ERP system is one of the most consequential technology decisions a business can make. The right ERP streamlines your entire operation. The wrong one creates more problems than it solves. This guide provides a comprehensive, transparent overview of MAPOS ERP: what it does, how it is built, what it costs, and who it is designed for.
What Is MAPOS ERP?
MAPOS is a cloud-based, modular Enterprise Resource Planning system built by I-MAD Technology for small and medium businesses in Lebanon and the GCC. Unlike monolithic ERP platforms that force you to buy everything at once, MAPOS lets you start with the modules you need and add more as your business grows.
The platform is built on modern web technologies (Next.js, MongoDB, Supabase) and hosted on cloud infrastructure (Vercel, AWS), giving it the performance, reliability, and scalability of enterprise-grade software at a price point accessible to SMBs.
MAPOS is designed from the ground up for the realities of doing business in Lebanon and the Middle East. This means native multi-currency support (LBP, USD, and other currencies), Arabic language interfaces, compliance with the Lebanese Plan Comptable General (PCG) for accounting, VAT handling, and integration with regional payment and logistics providers.
What Modules Does MAPOS Include?
| Module | Key Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| MAPOS CRM | Contact management, sales pipeline, lead tracking, automated follow-ups, performance analytics, customer history | Sales teams, client-facing businesses |
| MAPOS Inventory | Real-time stock tracking, multi-location, serial numbers, reorder alerts, landed costs, perpetual inventory | Retail, wholesale, manufacturing |
| MAPOS Accounting | Multi-currency (LBP/USD), chart of accounts (PCG), invoicing, expenses, credit notes, financial reports, VAT | All businesses, accountants |
| MAPOS Orders | Order lifecycle management, quote-to-fulfillment, delivery tracking, automated invoicing | E-commerce, wholesale, distribution |
| MAPOS POS | Point-of-sale terminal, barcode scanning, receipt printing, cash register management, daily closing | Retail stores, restaurants, cafes |
| MAPOS Manufacturing | Bill of materials, production orders, work orders, raw material tracking, cost calculation | Manufacturers, food production |
| MAPOS Project Management | Task management, timelines, budgets, team collaboration, client portals, Kanban boards | Service firms, agencies, construction |
| MAPOS AI | Smart CRM insights, demand forecasting, automated categorization, content generation | All businesses seeking automation |
Every module reads from and writes to the same central database. When a sale is made through POS, inventory updates automatically, accounting records the transaction, and CRM logs the customer interaction. This single-source-of-truth architecture eliminates data silos and manual reconciliation.
How Does MAPOS Compare to Other ERP Systems?

What Technology Powers MAPOS?
MAPOS is built on a modern, proven technology stack designed for performance, security, and scalability.
The frontend is built with Next.js and React, providing fast, responsive interfaces that work seamlessly on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Server-side rendering ensures pages load quickly even on slower connections common in parts of Lebanon and the region.
The backend uses MongoDB for flexible data storage and Supabase (PostgreSQL) for relational data needs. AWS S3 handles file and media storage. Vercel provides serverless hosting with global CDN distribution, and Cloudflare adds DDoS protection and edge caching.
The mobile application is built with React Native, providing native performance on both iOS and Android from a single codebase. This means updates and new features reach all mobile users simultaneously.
AI capabilities leverage Google AI and OpenAI APIs for intelligent features like demand forecasting, automated content generation, smart CRM insights, and natural language search.
How Is MAPOS Implemented?
I-MAD Technology follows a structured implementation process designed to minimize disruption and maximize adoption.
Phase 1 is Discovery: we analyze your current business processes, pain points, and requirements. This typically takes 3-5 days and results in a detailed implementation plan.
Phase 2 is Configuration: we set up MAPOS modules to match your specific workflows, configure your chart of accounts, import your product catalog, and set up user permissions. This takes 1-2 weeks.
Phase 3 is Data Migration: we transfer your existing data from spreadsheets, legacy systems, or other software into MAPOS. We validate data integrity throughout the process.
Phase 4 is Training: your team receives hands-on training for every module they will use. We provide documentation, video guides, and a dedicated support contact for the transition period.
Phase 5 is Go-Live and Support: we monitor the system closely during the first two weeks of live operation, resolving any issues immediately. Ongoing support is available via our client portal, WhatsApp, and email.
Most businesses are fully operational on MAPOS within 4 to 6 weeks from project kickoff.
