Connect EBG-Data with OTTO Market: sell store inventory online, without switching systems
You sell shoes or fashion and manage your stores with EBG-Data (IPOS)? OTTO Market puts your products in front of a high-purchasing audience. The DezemberHub Connector links both systems automatically, without interfering with your existing processes and without requiring a second warehouse.
EBG-Data is the provider of the POS and ERP system IPOS and, according to the provider, targets among others shoe, sports and textile retail. Anyone who wants to open up additional revenue via the internet without giving up their familiar system finds a suitable channel in OTTO Market.
In short: you connect EBG-Data with OTTO Market via the DezemberHub Connector. EBG-Data remains your central data source for stores, inventory, and purchasing. The Connector translates this data into the OTTO format, keeps inventory up to date, and pulls incoming orders back into your system. No second warehouse and no additional e-commerce software required.
What data flows between EBG-Data and OTTO?
DezemberHub's EBG-Data OTTO interface connects your POS system to the OTTO Partner API and synchronizes all relevant data:
Store inventory for OTTO
Your stock sits in EBG-Data per branch. DezemberHub aggregates this stock and reports the available quantity to OTTO. You decide which branches serve as an online warehouse. This way you use your floor space twice: brick-and-mortar and online.
Capturing orders in EBG-Data
OTTO orders are imported into EBG-Data automatically. This way your staff in the store immediately see which items need to be picked for online shipping. Processing runs through your familiar processes.
Product data & categories
Master product data from EBG-Data, such as descriptions, EAN codes, sizes, colors, and materials, is automatically converted into the OTTO format. DezemberHub maps your EBG-Data product groups to OTTO categories and ensures correct attribute assignment.
Pricing & margins
Selling prices from EBG-Data are transmitted to OTTO. Optionally, you can define OTTO-specific prices, for example to account for the OTTO commission without changing your in-store prices.
The path to the EBG-Data OTTO integration
The setup process is designed for retailers and can be implemented smoothly even without an in-house IT department:
Assessment of your EBG-Data system
We analyse your EBG-Data installation: which branches are set up? How is your item master data structured? On this basis the adapter plan is created.
OTTO onboarding & adapter development
In parallel with the adapter development, we support you with the OTTO partner onboarding. We make sure your product data meets OTTO's quality requirements, because OTTO vets new partners carefully. The adapter connects the data from your EBG-Data system with the OTTO Partner API.
Pilot phase & activation
We start with a small product selection on OTTO. Once listings, inventory synchronization, and order import are running smoothly, we expand to your full range. Many retailers go live after a short pilot phase.
What EBG-Data retailers can achieve with OTTO
The combination of EBG-Data and OTTO offers brick-and-mortar fashion retailers concrete advantages:
- Use your floor space as a warehouse: Your store inventory is already on the floor. Through OTTO, you can offer this stock to a much larger audience without setting up a separate online warehouse.
- The right environment for quality brands: OTTO offers a curated environment that suits many brand manufacturers and specialty retailers in the fashion segment.
- Assortment and brand image front and center: On OTTO, product presentation, brand appearance, and assortment quality play a central role. This benefits specialty retailers who differentiate themselves through their product range.
- POS system remains untouched: EBG-Data keeps running as usual. Your store staff will barely notice a difference, except that online orders occasionally come in for fulfillment.

Frequently asked questions about the EBG-Data OTTO integration
Can I really sell on OTTO with EBG-Data?
Yes. The DezemberHub Connector links EBG-Data (IPOS) to OTTO Market. No additional e-commerce software is required. Your POS system remains the central data source, the Connector translates your data into the OTTO format, and routes orders back into your system.
What requirements do I need to meet for OTTO Market?
OTTO reviews each partner individually. You need a registered business, a professional product range, and a willingness to comply with OTTO's quality standards. DezemberHub guides you through the onboarding process and ensures your product data meets the requirements.
Can my store inventory accidentally be oversold?
The Connector synchronizes inventory at short intervals. In addition, you can set safety buffers so that, for example, only inventory of 2 or more units is available online. This ensures there is always enough stock for walk-in customers in your store.
Do I need to set up a dedicated online warehouse for OTTO?
No. You sell directly from your store inventory. The Connector aggregates quantities from EBG-Data and reports the available stock to OTTO. Your retail floor simultaneously serves as the warehouse for the online channel.
Will anything change in my EBG-Data system?
EBG-Data (IPOS) keeps running unchanged. The Connector works with the data from your system instead of intervening in your processes. Your staff keep working as usual and pick incoming OTTO orders through familiar processes.
What does the EBG-Data OTTO integration cost?
The DezemberHub Connector is billed on a usage basis, and we prepare the quote individually after a short consultation. The decisive factors are the number of locations, the article volume and the desired depth of automation. Store revenue, the number of locations or the number of employees play no role in the base fee.
