According to the release: “PartMiner collects pricing and availability information from more than 11,000 sources worldwide (5,000 in Asia, 3,500 in North America, and 2,500 in Europe) – much in real-time. PartMiner MarketPulse features a quick view to help analyze potential price savings across any Bill-of-Materials; it also features a watch alert service that proactively looks for market changes that signal new price-saving opportunities.” Now procurement specialists will have the ability to get availability and price, all in one spot, without having to contact several distributors.
