Meaflow in brief

The key facts, all verifiable on the site.

The concept

Meaflow is a French marketplace connecting businesses. A company publishes a need, suppliers respond with a priced quote, and the buyer compares and chooses.

The platform’s historic core is industrial manufacturing. It also welcomes building, cleaning and maintenance, transport and logistics, and business services. It is reserved for businesses.

How it works

  1. The buyer posts a request: need, drawings or specifications, indicative budget, deadline, location.
  2. Suppliers reply: public questions, then a quote with a price excl. VAT, lead time and message.
  3. The buyer compares and chooses: quotes and profiles side by side, exchanges through messaging.
  4. Each reviews the other: the buyer and the chosen supplier of the same project can review each other.

The model

  • Registration, posting requests and replying to requests are free.
  • No commission at launch on contracts concluded.
  • No paid ranking or paid promotion: sorted by publication date by default.
  • Meaflow is not a party to the contract and collects no payment.

Trust and transparency

  • Suppliers can have their company number (SIRET in France) checked and obtain the “Verified business” badge. It certifies that the company exists: it is neither a certification nor an insurance check.
  • Drawings and documents are visible only to signed-in members; a non-disclosure agreement can be required.
  • Reviews are reserved for the buyer and the chosen supplier of the same project.

For an “About” box or a profile sheet.

Meaflow is a French marketplace connecting businesses. Its historic core is industrial manufacturing, and it also welcomes building, cleaning, logistics and business services.

The principle is simple. A buyer describes their need, attaches their drawings or specifications, and states a budget and a deadline. Suppliers (workshops, building, cleaning or transport companies) reply with a quote giving a price excl. VAT, a lead time and a message. The buyer compares the quotes, talks through messaging, then chooses.

Posting a request, creating a profile and replying to requests are free. Meaflow charges no commission at launch and plays no part in the contract or the payment.

The platform is reserved for businesses. Suppliers can have their SIRET verified, drawings are visible only to signed-in members and reviews are reserved for the two parties to the same project.

Meaflow is a French marketplace connecting businesses. It allows a company to post a need free of charge, then to receive, compare and choose from suppliers’ quotes.

Meaflow’s historic core is industrial manufacturing (machining, sheet metal work, 3D printing, electronics, plastics processing, maintenance). The platform also welcomes four other fields: building and construction, cleaning and maintenance (including concierge services, for business customers), transport and logistics, and business services.

It works the same way everywhere. The buyer posts a request with a description, their drawings or specifications, an indicative budget, a deadline and a location. Interested suppliers ask their questions, publicly or through messaging, then send a quote with a price excl. VAT, a lead time and a message. The buyer compares the offers and profiles (references, equipment, reviews), talks with the candidates and chooses the one that suits them. Once the work is done, the buyer and the chosen supplier can review each other.

The model is simple. Registration, posting requests and replying to requests are free. Meaflow charges no commission at launch. There is no paid ranking and no paid promotion. Requests are sorted by publication date by default.

Meaflow is a technical intermediary. The platform is not a party to the contract between the buyer and the supplier and collects no payment. Quotation, order and invoicing are settled directly between them.

To build trust, suppliers can have their SIRET checked and obtain the Verified business badge. Attached drawings and documents are accessible only to signed-in members, and a non-disclosure agreement can be required. Exchanges are kept in the built-in messaging, history included.

Meaflow also publishes practical guides, as well as pages dedicated to each trade and to metropolitan regions.
