Derivation Chain

Step 1 Korea-Brazil strategic minerals cooperation
→
Step 2 Strategic minerals supply management
→
Step 3 SME manufacturer minerals price & supply monitoring

Problem

SME battery and electronics component manufacturers (revenue KRW 5-50 billion, ~$3.75M-$37.5M) using strategic minerals like lithium, nickel, and rare earth elements cannot track raw material price fluctuations and supply disruptions in real time. While Enterprise companies have in-house research teams, SMEs rely on news searches and respond 2-3 weeks late to price surges, losing 5-15% in margins.

Solution

Real-time collection of international prices for 7 strategic minerals → cost simulation reflecting Korean import prices and exchange rates → automatic detection alerts for supply disruption news (Brazil, Australia, Chile, etc.) → alternative supplier matching. Integrates with Korea Customs Service import/export volume API for import trend analysis.

Target: Procurement team leads at SME battery and electronics component manufacturers (revenue KRW 5-50 billion, ~$3.75M-$37.5M)
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription at KRW 99,000 (~$74)/account (3 minerals monitored). Premium at KRW 199,000 (~$149)/month (7 minerals + alternative supplier matching). 14-day Free Trial.
