Zalando Integration for your ERP system
The DezemberHub Connector connects your ERP system with Zalando Connected Retail. Sizes, inventory, prices, and orders synchronize automatically and in compliance with Zalando requirements. Your existing system remains your central hub.
What is the DezemberHub Zalando integration?
The DezemberHub Zalando integration is an interface that connects your ERP or POS system via the Connector with Zalando Connected Retail. It transfers your fashion items with all sizes, colors and materials to Zalando's requirements, syncs inventory in real time at the variant level and automatically imports incoming orders back into your system. This lets you sell your store inventory in over 25 European Zalando markets without switching your existing ERP.
What the Zalando integration handles for you
Zalando Connected Retail requires clean size variants and real-time inventory. The Connector delivers both from your existing system, without you having to maintain items twice.
Real-time inventory
When you sell a size in-store or on another channel, the Zalando inventory drops immediately. This eliminates oversells and cancellations.
Orders without manual entry
Every Zalando order lands automatically in your ERP system, including size, variant, and delivery data. Shipping and tracking are sent back to Zalando.
Sell store inventory online
With Zalando Connected Retail, you sell your store assortment directly via Zalando. The Connector keeps store inventory and the platform in sync in real time.
Zalando-compliant product data
Sizes, colors, materials, and images are mapped to Zalando's specifications before they go online. Fewer rejections, cleaner listings.
