MarketPulse features a quick view to help analyse potential price savings across any bill of materials; it also features a watch alert service that actively looks for market changes.
Billed as a revolutionary new procurement tool, PartMiner MarketPulse, is designed very simply to: provide supporting data to negotiate better pricing with current vendors; save money on component purchases by utilising alternate sources; and make better design-for-supply decisions by bringing the supply chain closer to the design chain.
As Ken Auga, President of PartMiner, explains: "The world of electronics has waited a long time for a global view into the pricing paid for electronic components".
"PartMiner MarketPulse is a revolutionary technology that hooks supply and demand together and shares the world's pricing and transactions without bias towards a line card".
PartMiner MarketPulse comes bolted with the CAPS technical database of 113 million components covering 2900 semiconductor manufacturers.
Only PartMiner offers solutions ranging across the entire design chain extending throughout the supply chain.
PartMiner collects pricing and availability information from more than 11000 sources worldwide (5000 in Asia, 3500 in North America and 2500 in Europe) - much of it in real time.
PartMiner MarketPulse features a quick view to help analyse potential price savings across any bill of materials; it also features a watch alert service that actively looks for market changes that signal new price-saving opportunities.
In addition, PartMiner's strategic sourcing professionals around the world will generate quotations to validate pricing based on required delivery dates and other special factors.
As part of the service, subscribers can enlist the organisation's sourcing professionals to negotiate pricing on all available inventory lots and make the buy on their behalf, ensuring quality and on-time delivery.
"The world of component supply and demand remains as complex and elusive as ever", says Chris Meyer, CEO of PartMiner.
"Only PartMiner brings it all together for you".
