Frequently asked questions
Which ERP system is right for shoe retail?
For shoe and fashion retail, what matters is size and color grids, store inventory, a TSE-compliant POS system and clean marketplace integration. Established systems include BITS, HIS, ETOS APOLLON, IPOS, prohandel, Sontec and advarics. DezemberHub is an ERP built specifically for this industry, combining inventory management, POS, purchasing, shipping and an AI assistant in one system. The right fit depends on your product range, store structure and online plans. The 2026 comparison ranks nine systems.
How much does DezemberHub's ERP system cost?
DezemberHub costs €50 base fee per month plus €50 per active POS system. Revenue, number of locations and headcount are irrelevant. The AI assistant is included in the base price. Marketplace selling 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. The Brandt Group has bundled BITS, HIS and, since January 2026, ETOS. EBG-Data, the maker of IPOS, was sold in June 2026 from ANWR to TSS, which also owns prohandel. JTL changed its pricing on 1 April 2026. For retailers, this means vendor changes and price adjustments are becoming more likely. The consolidation guide explains what matters now.
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.
