JTL-Wawi is a widely used, free German ERP and warehouse-management system for online retailers. It handles inventory, orders, and multi-channel synchronisation, and integrates with the JTL-Fulfillment network.
It can run locally or in the JTL Cloud hosted in Germany, giving a clean EU data-residency option. An AV-Vertrag is provided and the system supports GoBD-compliant archiving, which is valuable for German bookkeeping obligations.
The core is free (freemium), making it attractive for growing shops, with paid add-ons available. JTL-Wawi suits operations and finance teams running e-commerce inventory at scale. It is not intended for Art. 9 DSGVO special-category data.
