What DezemberHub brings to shoe and fashion stores
- ·Individual items with ident number: On request, every unit receives its own individual item number at goods receipt and thus a unique barcode on the label. POS, transfers, returns and stocktaking work per unit instead of only per size. This helps avoid stocktaking differences caused by mixed-up sizes or colours.
- ·ERP system with sizes and widths: Variant matrix of colour and size, EU/UK/US size systems with automatic conversion, widths and half sizes, season management with NOS control.
- ·Master data via ECC: Create products by manufacturer number and EANs, sizes, images, and RRPs are added automatically. The AI import reads order sheets as PDFs, photos, or voice memos.
- ·POS: TSE-compliant and offline-capable. Processing sales, printing receipts, and managing stock all work without internet; end-of-day closing takes minutes.
- ·Purchasing and replenishment: Pre-orders and reorders, goods receipt with target/actual comparison, order suggestions based on sell-through rate and reorder level.
- ·Shipping: Pick lists, packing stations, and shipping labels for DHL, DPD, and UPS with rule-based carrier routing.
- ·Analytics and DATEV: Daily dashboard, sell-through down to size level, true margin per channel, and DATEV export for your accountant.
