B2B MARKETPLACE
How Labzz eliminated the middlemen between dentists and dental labs worldwide?
Labzz connects dental professionals directly with certified digital labs around the world. No middlemen, lower costs and full transparency on pricing, quality and turnaround. All managed from a single platform.
Certified Chinese labs integrated at launch
Dental prosthetic references available
ABOUT
The first B2B marketplace to cut out the middleman in dental prosthetics.
Labzz is a B2B marketplace built on a straightforward observation: between a dentist and the manufacturer of their prosthetic, there’s always an intermediary (the local lab) that outsources production abroad, adds its margin, and operates with no transparency on pricing or timelines. A costly, opaque and poorly scalable model.
Founded in Paris, Labzz eliminates this intermediary by directly connecting dental practices with certified digital labs in China and around the world. The dentist orders, customizes their prosthetic, uploads their STL file, tracks their case in real time and pays a fair price with no hidden margin.
With over 180 references covering fixed and removable prosthetics, implantology, orthodontics and 3D services, Labzz is the first complete digital solution to streamline the dental prosthetics workflow at an international scale.

« Labzz is built on the conviction that dentists deserve to know exactly who manufactures their prosthetics, at what price and within what timeframe. Transparency is not optional in healthcare, it’s a prerequisite. »
THE PROBLEM
A structurally opaque, costly sector with no dedicated digital tools.
The traditional dental prosthetics value chain relies on an unavoidable intermediary (the local lab) generating significant cost overruns, total opacity on pricing and a fragmented workflow with no suitable digital solution.
Systematic cost overrun due to the intermediary between dentist and manufacturer
No visibility on who actually makes the prosthetic or at what price
Limited access to quality international manufacturers without an established network
Fragmented order management: emails, phone calls, unstructured files
No solution to upload and transmit STL files from 3D intraoral scanners
No real-time case tracking, turnaround times impossible to control
THE OBJECTIVES
3 structural ambitions for a new model in the dental sector.
Eliminate the intermediary and give dentists back control over their costs
By connecting practices directly with certified labs, Labzz removes the hidden margins of the traditional model. Dentists know exactly what their prosthetic costs, who makes it and how long it takes, with no one inflating the bill in between.
Digitize and centralize the entire prosthetic workflow
Replace fragmented exchanges (emails, calls, scattered files) with a single platform: ordering, customization, STL file upload, lab messaging and real-time tracking. All in one place.
Open the international market to dental practices of all sizes
Give any dental practice — from a Paris clinic to an isolated rural practitioner, direct access to the world's best digital labs, including in China, without requiring an existing network or prior relationship.
IMPLEMENTATION
A 3-phase deployment for a technically complex B2B marketplace.
Catalog structuring & configurator
Defining the product architecture (5 major families, 180+ references) and building the dental order configurator. The core of the project. Each product requires complete customization: material, impression type, tooth concerned, angulation, placement type…
Lab integration & multilingual back-office
Onboarding of the first 10 certified partner labs, with an operator back-office available in Chinese to facilitate day-to-day order management by the partner lab teams based in China.
Digital workflow activation & international payments
Integration with 3D intraoral scanners (direct STL file upload to the platform), activation of multi-currency international payments and deployment of the real-time case tracking messaging system.
KEY FEATURES
A platform built for the technical complexity of the dental sector.
Custom dental order configurator
Every order is unique. The configurator guides the practitioner through complete prosthetic customization: material (zirconia, e.max, metal…), impression type, tooth concerned, angulation, shade with a visual preview at each step.
Direct integration with 3D intraoral scanners
STL files from intraoral scanners are uploaded and transmitted directly from the device to the Labzz platform, with no intermediate step. A major time-saver that streamlines the entire digital workflow.
Operator back-office in Chinese
To allow China-based partner labs to manage their orders independently, the back-office is available in a localized Mandarin version an essential condition for onboarding international partners.
Secure international payments
The platform handles cross-border transactions between dental practices (primarily in Europe) and labs (primarily in Asia), with a payment infrastructure adapted to international regulatory requirements.
Integrated messaging and real-time case tracking
Each order has a dedicated messaging thread between the practice and the lab. The practitioner tracks case progress in real time, from design validation to dispatch. Without having to chase by email or phone.
Structured catalog of 180+ certified references
Crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays/onlays, removable prosthetics, aligners, implants, splints… Each reference is linked to one or more certified labs, with displayed pricing and guaranteed turnaround, no hidden margin.
RESULTS
A new operational model, validated from day one.
A pioneering B2B model in a sector that hadn't yet gone digital. Labzz is the first marketplace to disrupt the intermediary model in dental prosthetics. A sector where orders were still placed mostly by phone and email, with no visibility on real costs.
Product complexity, solved by the configurator. The high technical complexity of dental orders (every prosthetic is unique) is fully handled through a custom configurator. A key feature made possible by the flexibility of Origami Marketplace.
International, operational from day one. The Chinese back-office and international payment infrastructure allowed Labzz to onboard labs in China without friction. A prerequisite for validating the business model.
A fully digital workflow from end to end. From intraoral scanner to delivery tracking, Labzz is the first platform to cover the entire prosthetic workflow without a single digital gap. A first in the sector.
Your sector needs a marketplace that speaks the language of its experts.
Like Labzz, build a B2B platform with a custom order configurator, multilingual back-office and international payment infrastructure.
