How it Works
01
Assess
MetalMiner customers map their spend categories to the forecasts available on the platform. Our analysts, all former procurement professionals, work with your team to set and execute the sourcing strategy while notifications and alerts
provide timely guidance. By evaluating multiple strategies, procurement professionals can ensure positive results.
02
Analyze
Our signature process allows the buying organization to better understand the short-term metal price trends to help remove the emotions from the data. By understanding the trend, and not the noise, companies gain a much clearer understanding of the long-term trends. Finally, armed with this knowledge, procurement professionals can set actionable buying strategies which create cost avoidance and cost savings.
03
Act
Of course implementing the buying strategy, requires detailing the elements that make up total cost, dismissing feelings with facts. These insights allow the buying organization to negotiate with detailed data, ultimately resulting in cost savings or cost avoidance. This process puts the power into the hands of the buyer, moving contract negotiations from “tougher” to “easier”.

Metal Prices: When to Buy, What to Pay, How to SAVE.
Metal Prices Today
Sourcing metals looks nothing like it used to. Commodity price volatility, a slowing economy and the need to secure cost savings and/or cost avoidance is a challenge. Trying to forecast where metal prices will go next remains elusive. The fear of making a “wrong” purchase decision can kill a career. Getting stuck with high priced inventory in today’s market represents another risk, while the pressure to do more with less creates its own challenges.
MetalMiner customers use the platform and advisory hours to: identify concrete price levers to negotiate with service centers and mills, pressure-test sourcing strategies with outsiders who have served in similar roles, identify appropriate contracting mechanisms to optimize a portfolio strategy, create reports and share insights with senior management or secure cost savings. MetalMiner Insights contains some of the most comprehensive stainless steel prices and forecasts, battery indexes, grain oriented electrical steel prices and forecasts along with most industrial metals.
