ERIX data makes your marketplace listings faster and more complete
APOLLON gives you native access to the ERIX product database. DezemberHub uses this data for listings with the correct mandatory attributes on Zalando, Amazon, and OTTO.
What is the ERIX product database?
ERIX (and the current version ERIX2) is a cloud-based product master data database for the German shoe trade, operated by the European Clearing Center (ECC) in Bergkamen. It contains over 500,000 shoe items with complete attributes: materials, heel heights, closure types, sole descriptions, heel shapes, trend categories, and more.
For marketplaces like Zalando, Amazon, and OTTO, this is exactly what matters: they require these attributes as mandatory fields. Without them, listings are rejected or never activated.
APOLLON users already have native ERIX access through the ECC. DezemberHub accesses this data and automatically enriches your marketplace listings. This reduces manual entry and unnecessary delays when going live.

How APOLLON works with DezemberHub
APOLLON remains your central system. DezemberHub handles marketplace communication and uses ERIX data for enrichment.
Your ETOS APOLLON
Inventory, size runs, widths, prices, items, branches
DezemberHub
Real-time sync, ERIX enrichment, size mapping, cockpit
50+ marketplaces
Zalando, Schuhe.de, Schuhwelt, Amazon, OTTO, About You, Limango...
Size runs and widths in sync. Every in-store sale updates the online channels promptly.
Orders directly in APOLLON. Branch or central warehouse fulfills. No system breaks.
ERIX data added automatically. Complete mandatory attributes for every platform, without manual effort.
Shoe retail is complex. DezemberHub knows it.
Size runs, widths, seasonal goods, NOS items, branch inventory: DezemberHub was built for exactly these requirements. We speak your language here.
Size matrix and widths mapped automatically
Zalando, Amazon, and OTTO have different schemas for shoe sizes and widths. DezemberHub automatically translates your APOLLON size runs into the correct format for each marketplace. EU, UK, US, children's sizes, half sizes: all handled correctly.
Widths (narrow, normal, wide, G, H) are translated to match each marketplace's requirements. No incorrect assignments, no manual rework.
NOS items and seasonal goods: treated differently
Your assortment has two worlds: NOS items (Never Out of Stock) as perennial bestsellers and seasonal goods with a clearly limited sell-through period. DezemberHub understands both logics.
Permanent listings on all channels. Inventory is continuously replenished from APOLLON. No manual reactivation after reordering.
Listings with seasonal status. Sell-through runs until inventory reaches zero. No accidental false availability after the season ends.
Price adjustments for markdowns maintained centrally in APOLLON and automatically transferred to all marketplaces.
3 branches, 1 online offering
Many APOLLON users operate multiple branches. DezemberHub aggregates inventory from all your branches into a unified online offering. Customers see maximum availability, and you avoid overselling.
When an order comes in, you decide which branch or the central warehouse ships. The branch employee sees the order directly in APOLLON, packs it, prints the DHL label on the branch printer, and hands over the package. No separate system. No process breaks.
Shipping label printing also takes place directly on your branch printer. DHL, DPD, and other shipping providers are integrated.
ANWR and SABU members: your purchasing data is included
As a member of ANWR or SABU, you source your goods through the buying group. The associated master data and supplier data are already anchored in APOLLON. DezemberHub uses them for more complete listings.
Brand names, collections, and supplier item numbers from the ANWR/SABU environment are correctly mapped to marketplace fields. This saves manual work and ensures consistent product presentation across all channels.
Whether you are an ANWR member, a SABU member, or an independent retailer: DezemberHub fits your APOLLON.
The marketplaces for specialist shoe retailers: APOLLON integration for Zalando and more
Specialist shoe retailers rely on different platforms than general retailers. DezemberHub covers all relevant shoe marketplaces.

How do I connect ETOS APOLLON with marketplaces like Zalando or Amazon?
You connect ETOS APOLLON with over 50 marketplaces through the DezemberHub Connector. The Connector reads items, size runs, widths, and inventory from APOLLON, enriches them with ERIX data, and lists them on Zalando, Amazon, OTTO, and other channels. Orders flow directly back into APOLLON. APOLLON remains your central system; nothing is rebuilt.
I already use the APOLLON Zalando Connector. Do I need DezemberHub?
The native APOLLON Zalando Connector is a good entry point for one marketplace. The DezemberHub Connector adds further channels, automatic ERIX data enrichment, and a central cockpit for all channels. Anyone looking to grow beyond Zalando to Amazon, OTTO, or Schuhe.de gets a seamless solution.
How are shoe widths transferred to Amazon and Zalando?
The Connector translates the width information from APOLLON into the format of each marketplace. Zalando, Amazon, and OTTO have different schemas for narrow, normal, wide, and letter widths such as G or H. DezemberHub handles the mapping automatically and supplements with ERIX data where needed. This reduces manual assignments and incorrect mappings online.
Is APOLLON still future-proof after the merger with Brandt?
Yes. The Brandt Retail Group, which ETOS has been part of since January 2026, employs approximately 25 developers according to its own statements, who are actively working on the ERP systems. APOLLON is being further developed, and cloud connectivity is the stated strategic direction. The DezemberHub Connector is independent of the ownership structure and works with APOLLON as a technical system. Your connection remains stable, regardless of organizational decisions by the Brandt Group.
What is the ECC/ERIX data enrichment and why is it relevant for APOLLON users?
ERIX is the product master data database of the European Clearing Center (ECC) with over 500,000 shoe items and extensive attributes: upper material, outsole, heel height, closure type, toe shape, and more. APOLLON provides native ERIX access. The DezemberHub Connector uses this access to automatically enrich your listings with the attributes that Zalando, Amazon, and OTTO require as mandatory fields. The result: less manual maintenance and a faster start on the channels.
We have multiple branches. How does inventory management work?
The Connector aggregates inventory from all branches in APOLLON and displays total availability online. When an order comes in, you decide which branch or the central warehouse ships. The responsible employee sees the order directly in APOLLON, packs the shoe, and prints the shipping label on the branch printer. Branch sales update online inventory promptly to prevent overselling.
