Frequently asked questions

Which ERP system is right for shoe retail?

For shoe and fashion retail, what counts are size and color grids, branch stock levels, a TSE-compliant POS system and clean marketplace integration. DezemberHub is an ERP system built precisely for this industry, bundling inventory management, POS, purchasing, shipping and an AI assistant in one system. Which system fits depends on your assortment, branch structure and online plans. The big 2026 comparison assesses nine systems, including BITS, HIS, ETOS APOLLON, IPOS, prohandel, Sontec and advarics.

How much does DezemberHub's ERP system cost?

DezemberHub costs from a €50 base fee per month plus €50 per simultaneously running POS terminal. Spare POS terminals are always free. Store revenue, the number of branches and the number of employees play no role. The AI assistant is included in the base price. Selling via marketplaces is an optional, usage-based add-on available on request.

Why is so much changing in shoe retail software right now?

The market is consolidating. ETOS has belonged to the Brandt Retail group, which also includes BITS and HIS, since January 2026 (source: schuhkurier, as of October 2025). In June 2026 the ANWR Group sold EBG-Data, the maker of IPOS, to the software group TSS, which also includes prohandel (source: schuhkurier, as of June 2026). According to the provider, JTL changed its package structure on April 1, 2026. What this means for your software decision is explained in the guide to consolidation.

Do I have to switch my existing system to sell on marketplaces?

No. The DezemberHub Connector connects your existing ERP system with Amazon, Zalando, OTTO, Kaufland and other marketplaces without requiring you to replace your system. The guides for JTL-Wawi, EBG-Data, Sontec and Diamod show how the integration works for each system.
