StockDB – Connecting Supply and Demand

During periods of component shortages and allocation, companies often pay significant premiums for hard-to-source parts through brokers and distributors.
At the same time, many organizations hold excess inventory that is no longer required.

A fair and commission-free marketplace

StockDB provides a simple and transparent platform for making excess inventory available to other users.

Its purpose is to connect supply and demand directly—reducing unnecessary trading activities, avoiding excessive broker mark-ups, and lowering procurement costs.

Managing excess and obsolete inventory

Users can upload excess or obsolete inventory to StockDB, making it visible to other participants through the integrated availability check.

In future releases, MiG will automatically identify excess inventory and provide the option to transfer suitable stock to StockDB with a single click.

The result is lower inventory costs, reduced waste, and improved material availability across the entire supply chain.

End-to-End Supply Chain Services and Consulting

Perzeptron supports manufacturing companies across the entire supply chain with a comprehensive portfolio of consulting, operational services, and digital solutions.

At the core of our offering is the optimization of material management and supply chain performance through MiG – Materials Management at a Glance, our powerful ERP add-on. Implemented within just a few days, MiG provides immediate transparency, reduces material shortages, improves planning reliability, and lowers working capital tied up in inventory.

To further increase efficiency, Perzeptron leverages intelligent automation solutions such as OCC.AI (Order Confirmation Control). By automating the processing and validation of incoming order confirmations, OCC.AI significantly reduces manual effort, improves data quality, and allows procurement teams to focus on strategic, value-adding activities.

Our services also include targeted procurement support, ranging from order confirmation processing and supplier communication to sourcing assistance and supplier management. The objective is always the same: increased efficiency, greater planning reliability, and improved supply chain performance.

A key element of our approach is the Efficiency Analysis, which objectively measures planning quality, planning reliability, and operational performance. Through data-driven analysis and workshops, we identify bottlenecks, planning weaknesses, inventory risks, and opportunities to reduce working capital—creating a clear roadmap for measurable improvements.

For organizations seeking an objective assessment of their current situation, Perzeptron also provides expert evaluations and management reports covering ERP utilization, materials management, supply chain performance, and operational efficiency. These analyses form the basis for fact-based decision-making and targeted improvement initiatives.

When additional leadership capacity is required, our experienced supply chain professionals can assume operational responsibility through Interim Management assignments. Whether managing critical projects, stabilizing operations, or driving transformation initiatives, we ensure continuity and sustainable results.

Our portfolio is complemented by hands-on management consulting that combines strategic thinking with operational execution. From supply chain optimization and working capital reduction to digital transformation and process excellence, Perzeptron helps companies build more efficient, resilient, and profitable supply chains—delivering measurable improvements in delivery performance, profitability, and customer satisfaction within just a few months.
