Derivation Chain

Step 1 From Scratch (DIY/self-build) trend expansion
→
Step 2 DIY parts sourcing demand
→
Step 3 Parts price comparison and quotation automation tool

Problem

Makers (ages 20-40, hobbyists and solo entrepreneurs) working on From Scratch projects in electronics, mechanical engineering, and woodworking must manually search and compare prices across 10+ domestic and international parts stores (DeviceMart, Eleparts, AliExpress, Monotaro, etc.) when sourcing components — spending an average of 30 minutes per part and 5-8 hours per project on simple price comparisons.

Solution

Enter a project BOM (Bill of Materials) list to automatically crawl real-time pricing, stock availability, and shipping dates from major domestic and international parts stores, then receive optimized combination recommendations (lowest price / fastest shipping / single-store consolidation) along with price change alerts compared to past purchase history.

Target: Electronics, mechanical, and woodworking makers ages 20-40; solo hardware Startup founders; makerspace operators
Revenue Model: Premium SaaS at 29,000 KRW (~$22)/month per account (unlimited BOM quotes), Free Plan limited to 3 quotes/month. Additional revenue from affiliate parts store CPA commissions at 2-5% Per Transaction.
Ecosystem Role: Supplier
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
