How the switch works →What DezemberHub is and who it's for
DezemberHub is an ERP system with POS, purchasing, shipping, reporting and AI assistant for shoe and fashion retail. From the single store to the multi-branch retailer. The software adapts to your store, not the other way around.
Sizes and widths, half sizes, size systems in EU, UK, and US, NOS management, and season management are all standard. The POS is TSE-compliant and works offline. Reports drill down to individual sizes and export to DATEV.
Online selling via marketplaces is an optional add-on through the DezemberHub Connector, which also serves as a bridge when migrating from your existing system.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good alternative to BITS, HIS, ETOS or IPOS?
For specialist shoe and fashion retail, DezemberHub is an alternative with inventory management, TSE-compliant POS, purchasing, shipping, reports and AI assistant in one system. Sizes, widths, NOS and seasons are standard. For each system you'll find a dedicated page here with all the details. You make the decision yourself.
What does DezemberHub cost?
DezemberHub starts from a €50 base fee per month plus €50 per simultaneously running POS terminal. Store revenue, the number of locations and the number of employees play no role. Plans start at €50 per month, can be cancelled monthly and with no setup fee.
Can I migrate my data from the old system?
Yes. Items, stock and customer data migrate along. We handle the import from your current system, including from systems that don't have a dedicated page here.
Do I have to switch on a fixed cutover date?
No. The switch happens without a fixed cutover date. You move over when your data, POS, and processes are ready, not on a deadline under pressure.
Can I try DezemberHub first?
Yes. You test free for 30 days. You start with email, no payment details. No automatic renewal.
Does DezemberHub also sell via marketplaces?
Yes. Online selling via Amazon, OTTO, Zalando, and other marketplaces runs through the DezemberHub Connector as an optional add-on. It also serves as a bridge when migrating from your existing system.
What applies if my provider raises prices?
Without a valid price adjustment clause, the provider cannot enforce the increase during the current contract term; in practice this is usually followed by a termination with an offer of new terms at the next regular date. Many contracts also provide a special right of termination in the event of unilateral increases. What matters is reacting in time and reviewing your own termination options. The full assessment with legal sources is in our guide on price increases for ERP and POS systems. Not legal advice.
Can I get my data out of my current system?
Yes. Since September 12, 2025, the EU Data Act has also applied to cloud ERP and POS systems: providers must hand over exportable data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and switching charges are abolished entirely from January 12, 2027. Data migration to DezemberHub is free and automated.
