1C:ERP WE

1C:ERP WE is a powerful system for business automation and management, particularly popular in the markets of the former CIS, Eastern Europe, and Asia. It is designed for enterprises seeking deep management of production and financial processes but often requires additional solutions for full localization.

Advantages of Choosing 1C:ERP WE Include

Initial Focus on Local Markets of CIS and Eastern Europe: The system is adapted to the specific needs of enterprises in these regions, taking into account business and regulatory requirements.
Customization Flexibility: Deep customization possibilities to meet specific client needs. The system allows configuring business processes and reports according to company requirements.
Integration with Other 1C Products: A unified ecosystem of products providing a comprehensive approach to business automation. Many enterprises already use 1C products, and integration with them allows smooth process unification.
Support and Training: Extensive network of partners offering implementation and training, as well as regular updates from the manufacturer. This ensures a high level of support at all stages of system use.

However, Consider the Following Features

Lack of HR and Payroll Accounting: 1C:ERP WE lacks built-in functionality for HR accounting and payroll. These tasks require integration with other 1C products, such as 1C:Payroll and HR Management.
Accounting by IFRS Standards: The main accounting system of 1C:ERP WE operates according to IFRS standards, which may not meet local accounting requirements. Local accounting requires localization usually carried out by local partners, making system support and updates dependent on these partners.
Limited Project Management Support: 1C:ERP WE lacks specialized project management modules. Project tasks are set manually, and linking to projects requires additional efforts, possibly using 1C:Document Management for this functionality.
Need for Customization: For full satisfaction of production enterprises' requirements, customizations are often needed, particularly for improving production schedules and quality management, and that's precisely one of our company’s specialties.

Types of Businesses Automatable "Out of the Box" with 1C:ERP WE

Factors to Consider When Choosing

Choosing the right ERP system for your business depends on various factors:

Cost of Implementation and Operation: Odoo ERP can be an attractive solution for small and medium-sized businesses due to the availability of the free Community Edition and a wide choice of free modules. Whereas 1C:ERP WE may require significant investments in integration and customizations.
Usage Location (On-premise or Cloud Solution): Odoo ERP offers flexibility with both cloud and on-premise deployment, while 1C:ERP WE is traditionally used as an on-premise solution.
Amount of Required Customizations: Odoo ERP has a vast market of ready-made solutions and modules, potentially reducing the need for customizations. In 1C:ERP WE, significant customizations are sometimes required for specific business processes.
Number of Users and Scalability Needs: Odoo ERP provides flexible pricing plans and scalability options for businesses of all sizes. 1C:ERP WE is also suitable for large enterprises but may require more complex license management (including server licenses) and extensions.
