ETOS alternative: ERP for shoe and fashion retail
DezemberHub is an alternative to ETOS and APOLLON for shoe and fashion retail specialists: ERP system with size matrix, TSE-compliant POS, purchasing, shipping, and analytics in one system. In use since 2015, with the commitment that the software adapts to your store, not the other way around. Business plan: €50 base fee per month plus €50 per POS, cancel monthly, data migration from ETOS included.
Why retailers are currently considering an ETOS alternative
ETOS and the ERP system APOLLON have been part of the Brandt Retail Gruppe since January 2026, which also includes BITS and HIS. This market consolidation is the reason many shoe and fashion retailers are reassessing their software strategy.
DezemberHub is an independent product and has no connection to ETOS, APOLLON, or the Brandt Retail Gruppe. Those who switch keep their data and set the migration date themselves.

How to switch from ETOS to DezemberHub
The first system switch that doesn't feel like one: data migration from ETOS is included. You test in parallel with your real data and switch when you're ready.
Products, stock, and customer data all move with you at no extra charge. You set the migration date yourself, and your existing system keeps running unchanged in the meantime.
If you also sell on marketplaces, the DezemberHub Connector takes over your APOLLON integration with Zalando, OTTO, Amazon, and over 50 other channels and also serves as a bridge for the migration.
Who DezemberHub is right for
DezemberHub is a good fit for owner-managed shoe and fashion stores, from a single location to a small multi-branch chain, that want ERP, POS, and analytics from one source. The price depends solely on the number of concurrent POS units; revenue, number of locations, and number of employees play no role.
The detail pages for ERP and POS show which industry-specific features we cover, from size runs and NOS control to order import.
