The problem you're facing
Turnkey marketplace solutions lock you in: commissions on every transaction, limited customisation, and your differentiation capped by available modules. At the first specific need, the platform becomes an obstacle.

Security
Systematic code review, secrets management, monitored dependencies and security testing built into the development cycle : security is a starting requirement, not an option.
Hosting & infrastructure
We host your applications on our own European infrastructure (France, Germany, Switzerland): development and operations are carried by the same group, with no dependency on US cloud.
Maintenance
Application maintenance contracts covering bug fixes, upgrades, feature evolution and user support : the team that designed the software is the team that keeps it alive.
Why LaMeDuSe
Building a marketplace also means securing financial flows: our track record in secure hosting and operations in Europe guarantees that the platform processing your users' payments is seriously monitored.
Frequently asked questions
A complete marketplace typically starts around €80,000. We recommend starting with one vertical or a limited geography, with a deliberately narrow scope, to validate the supply/demand balance before extending.
Through licensed payment providers (Stripe Connect or equivalent) who handle compliance and fund splitting. The marketplace never directly handles the money : the licensed provider does, within the regulatory framework.
A turnkey (SaaS e-commerce) platform suits testing a standard market. Custom is required when your value comes from specific business rules, an original commission model or integrations with your ecosystem.
That's a commercial animation topic, not just a technical one. We design the platform to foster network effects (simple onboarding, storefront quality) and support you on bootstrap mechanics.
