What does switching to DezemberHub mean?
Switching to DezemberHub is the guided migration to the inventory management, POS and ERP solution for specialist shoe and fashion retail in the DACH region. Our migration bridge takes over items, stock, suppliers, prices and customer data from systems such as BITS, HIS, ETOS, IPOS or JTL-Wawi, at no extra charge and without re-labelling your goods.
The migration begins with a test transfer of your data, your old system keeps running in parallel operation, and only after the final data reconciliation do you switch over. You set your switchover date yourself. You test free for 30 days, DezemberHub can be cancelled monthly and has no minimum term.
Why now
The retail software market is restructuring.
Many providers in shoe and fashion retail now belong to a few large groups. A good moment to choose your system deliberately.
Multiple providers under one roof
The Brandt group unites BITS and HIS, and since January 2026 ETOS belongs to it too. Three familiar names, one roof.
New group for IPOS
EBG-Data, maker of IPOS, was sold in June 2026 by the ANWR Group to the software group TSS, which also includes prohandel.
Movement across the whole market
Beyond these examples too, providers and structures are changing constantly. Those who plan for the long term take the time to get an overview.
Do you use one of these systems? Further down you'll find a dedicated page for each, with all the details on data migration and the switch.
As of: July 2026. Market information without guarantee, each at the stated point in time. Sources: information from the respective providers and trade press (schuhkurier.de). The providers' official announcements are decisive.
Let's be straight
Why nobody likes switching systems.
A system switch usually means data chaos, expensive training, and a cutover date when everything has to work at once. Right in the middle of day-to-day business. We have seen it up close enough times to build it differently.
Our guiding principle: the software must adapt to your store, not your store to the software. That is exactly why the switch must not hurt or disrupt your day-to-day business.
Data chaos
Years of product data, inventory, and customer records are locked in the old system. Re-entering everything by hand? Impossible alongside a running store.
Weeks of training
New software often means booking training days, working through manuals, and still watching the team struggle with the basics for weeks.
Cutover day stress
Friday the old system goes off, Monday the new one goes on. And if something stalls on Monday, the store grinds to a halt. Everyone dreads that day.
Our answer
Three steps. No cutover stress.
Our migration bridge connects your old system with DezemberHub and keeps it usable until go-live. You don't switch in a single day, you grow across.
Review and migrate data
We look at your old system together, clarify data fields, barcodes and particularities and start the test transfer. Your old system stays unchanged in the process.
Test in parallel
You and your team settle into DezemberHub at your leisure in parallel operation and test with your real data instead of demo data. Your old system keeps running as usual, the store notices nothing.
Move over when you're ready
When everything feels familiar, you decide whether and when you switch over. We accompany your switchover date personally and are reachable afterwards whenever you need us.
The switcher advantage
The upfront investment is on us.
You should be able to switch because you want to. Not because a contract locks you in or you have already sunk too much money into your old system. That is why switchers always get:
Data migration included
Products, inventory, and customer data migrate with you, at no extra charge and with no project fee.
Parallel testing
Your old system stays on until you are confident. No cutover date, no pressure, no downtime in the store.
Monthly cancellation
From day one, not after a minimum contract term. We want you to stay because it works.
The migration bridge
This data moves with you.
An ERP is worth as much as the data in it. For us, migration doesn't mean: export a CSV file and hope. Data migration runs in three stages, from the analysis of your old system to the final data reconciliation on your switchover date.
1. Data analysis
We check which data your legacy system provides: products, variants, suppliers, inventory, prices, customers, sales history, images, and barcodes.
2. Trial migration
We import a copy of your data into DezemberHub. You compare items, stock and customers with your old system at your leisure, and together we clarify anything that stands out.
3. Final data reconciliation
When you release the switch, we fetch the latest data state from your old system and reconcile it. From go-live you work entirely in DezemberHub.
Products and variants
All models with colors, sizes, and EAN numbers, including your size runs.
Product categories and suppliers
Your established assortment structure and supplier master data are preserved.
Stock per branch
Inventory arrives branch by branch. You work with real figures from day one.
Prices and costing
Purchase prices, selling prices, and price tiers stay exactly as you calculated them.
Customer data
Your entire customer base migrates with you, fully GDPR-compliant.
Sales history
As far as your legacy system can provide. Your statistics don't start from scratch.
Product images
Existing images come along and are automatically linked to the correct product.
Barcodes and labels
You continue scanning existing labels at the POS and during stocktaking exactly as before.
Re-label? You don't have to.
We take over the barcode contents from your legacy system. Your labels stay on the products and you keep scanning them at the POS and during stocktaking exactly as before.
We migrate your data from these systems
We have been connecting retail ERP systems with each other since 2015. That experience is built into the migration bridge, including for:
Every system leads to the matching page with details on data migration and the switch.
You can find out more about the product on the page for ERP system for shoe and fashion retail, you'll find the relevant industry section at Industries. What the switch costs per month is shown on the pricing overview.
Frequently asked questions about switching
How long does the switch take?
As long as you need. The data migration itself is quick; after that you test in parallel with your old system. Some retailers switch after two weeks, others take two months. Both are fine.
What does the data migration cost?
Nothing. Migrating products, inventory, and customer data is part of the switcher advantage and is included in the regular monthly price.
What does DezemberHub cost after the trial period?
DezemberHub costs from €50 base fee per month plus €50 per simultaneously running POS. Branch revenue, number of branches and number of employees play no role. The AI assistant is included in the base price with a fair allowance. You'll find all the details in the price overview.
How long is the trial period and what should I be aware of?
You test DezemberHub free for 30 days, all you need to start is your email address, no payment details required. No automatic renewal.
Which data is migrated?
Products with colors and sizes, product categories, suppliers, prices, stock per branch, customer data, and product images. We also bring across your sales history as far as your legacy system can provide it.
Do I need to re-label my inventory?
No. We take over the barcode contents from your legacy system and your labels stay on the products. At the POS and during stocktaking you keep scanning them exactly as before.
Can I continue using my existing hardware?
In most cases, yes. DezemberHub runs in the browser on standard computers running macOS and Windows. Common receipt printers, scanners, and card terminals can be connected in just a few minutes.
Do I have to switch on a specific cutover date?
No, that is the core of our approach. Your old system keeps running in parallel until you feel confident. You set the switchover date yourself.
How do I make sure all data was migrated correctly?
You check it yourself, at your own pace. After the migration you compare products, inventory, and customers against your old system, which keeps running in parallel. You only switch over once everything is correct.
My system isn't in the list. Can I still switch?
Most likely yes. The list shows the most common systems, but we have already migrated data from many other sources. Give us a call and we will take a look at your system together.
Does my team need training?
You don't need paid training. DezemberHub is built so that your team can find their way on their own, and during the trial period you work with your real data. We guide you personally through onboarding and that is included in the price.
What happens if I'm not happy after switching?
Then you cancel. Monthly cancellation applies from day one. Your data belongs to you and you can export it at any time.
Talk to us about your switch.
Just give us a call. We will look at your system together and tell you honestly which data we can migrate. After one conversation you will know exactly what your switchover looks like.
