Remplafrance

Remplafrance operates as a digital matchmaking platform in the French healthcare sector, connecting healthcare professionals with opportunities for replacements, collaborations, and successions. The company was established in 2016 by childhood friends Delphine Prediger and Mathilde Bonte, who partnered with Dr. Timothée Wattinne, a general practitioner. The idea originated from conversations with medical friends who expressed difficulty in finding replacements, a challenge confirmed by a 2015 market study showing over 70% of established health professionals struggled with this issue.

The platform serves a wide range of clients, including independent healthcare professionals (such as general practitioners, specialists, nurses, dentists, and physical therapists), medical facilities like hospitals and clinics, and local authorities. Remplafrance addresses the critical issue of medical deserts and the administrative burden on practitioners by facilitating the continuity of care during absences for holidays, training, or retirement. Its core service is a job board where practitioners can post listings for replacements, associateships, and practice takeovers throughout France and its overseas territories. An algorithm matches candidate profiles with available offers.

The company's revenue model is multifaceted. It generates income through fees for premium ad placements, such as "Urgent" or "Premium" labels. Additional revenue streams include service packages for local authorities, fees for digitized contracts, and a monthly subscription for a practice management module for locum professionals. In a significant milestone, Remplafrance was acquired by Adecco Medical, part of The Adecco Group, to enhance its digital solutions and support the recruitment needs of healthcare establishments. Early in its journey, the company also acquired its competitor, Trocundoc, and secured €500,0a in a funding round to expand its services to more medical specialties and strengthen its commercial team.
