places de marché de mise en relation

The difference between "de mise en relation" between people or between companies could be respectively C2C and B2B, "de devis" could be "B2C" with a business sending quotes to customers?

This doc with every other word in English uses "intermédiation", that could be an option?

French term does not exist, should be "médiation" but English term could match the definition:

I prefer the expression 'people to people marketplaces'. What I mean is that we are all human beings having needs. So we can interact with one another directly and informally to convey to one another our needs and find solutions to our needs collectively.

I used to think that was a non-Western view of the world (the souks in North Africa and Asia Minor for example). But I changed my mind since settling in The US. Have you ever been to a garage sale? to a class reunion? to a Church fair? to a Christmas fair? In each case, people come across as human beings, not as sellers or buyers or professionals. It's all about talking and exchanging information and tips that will be formalized later.

"Ces sociétés ont un modèle similaire aux places de marché de mise en relation avec une différence principale : elles basent leur fonctionnement autour des devis des professionnels fréquentant leur plate-forme"


"[Company] a décidé de sélectionner une plate-forme de mise en relation pouvant répondre à ses problèmes et atteindre les objectifs fixés parmi trois acteurs du marché... "


Sorry Phil, I should know better. The terms crops up a few times in the document but here are a couple of instances.

I also agree with Didier, however, the document seems to distinguish between "Places de marché de devis" and "Places de marché de mise en relation" so I wondered if there was any way to distinguish the two in English.

I agree with Didier, but could we have the context, please?

A market is made of sellers and buyers, a marketplace lets them connect to each other, "de mise en relation" is plain pleonasm IMO, what to you assume "a marketplace for households and plumbers" could do?

Should you write "une agence matrimoniale de mise en relation" or "une agence immobilière de mise en relation"? Both nevertheless connect people but it is so much their obvious purpose that it does not need overstating.

OK, so this doesn't have the same meaning as "mise en relation", but in practice that is what peer-to-peer marketplaces do, connect two (or more) parties in a business transaction. Any thoughts?
