Problem

Procurement managers at small-to-mid server and module manufacturers (10-50 employees) purchasing DRAM need to manually aggregate price data from multiple sources like DRAMeXchange and JiChiMiNet to assess whether their current contract prices are fair relative to market spot prices, spending 3-5 hours per week. Delayed response of 1-2 weeks during spot price surges results in procurement cost differences of tens of thousands of dollars per transaction.

Solution

Automatically collects global DRAM spot price data and provides a product-specific (DDR5, HBM, LPDDR) price trend dashboard. Users input their contract prices to visualize their market position (upper/mid/lower tier), with Slack/KakaoTalk alerts sent during rapid price changes.
