Grupo CDM

What Grupo CDM does

Grupo CDM (legal name: CDM Servicios Administrados de Impresión) is a privately held Managed Print Services (MPS) provider operating in Mexico for approximately 24 years. The company's core offering is a single bundled MPS solution in which enterprise printing equipment is rented to customers under a fixed monthly fee, with all maintenance, consumables, technical support, and AI-assisted monitoring included. The service targets both SMBs seeking to avoid upfront capital expenditure on print hardware and mid-to-large enterprises with multi-location deployments requiring predictable costs and operational continuity.

The technology stack centers on the proprietary IA Princity monitoring system, which uses artificial intelligence to perform 24/7 automated detection of equipment failures, low consumables, and usage anomalies, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing downtime. A web-based Customer Portal CDM provides departmental usage reports, cost analysis, and real-time statistics. Customer engagement runs primarily through WhatsApp (sales, support, and follow-up), supported by website-based lead capture forms including a free SLA diagnostic tool.

Commercially, CDM operates a direct B2B motion with no resellers or third-party channels, generating revenue through subscription-style monthly rental contracts. The company claims to serve over 5,000 businesses across Mexico with national coverage from offices in Ciudad de México and Toluca, Estado de México, while operating with a notably lean team of 10 employees. No revenue, funding, partnerships, or acquisitions are disclosed, and ownership appears to be founder-operated with no institutional investor backing identified.
