What 1C INTERNATIONAL does

1C International (operating as 1Ci) is a Russian-rooted software company, founded in 2017 as the international arm of the 1C franchise, that develops and globally distributes the 1C:Enterprise low-code application platform and a portfolio of ERP and business management products built on top of it. The core offering spans 1C:Drive (flexible ERP for medium-sized companies), 1C:ERP (corporate management system for large enterprises), 1C:Perform (financial planning, budgeting and analytics), and 1C:Jet (free, open-source microbusiness automation for Türkiye with e-Fatura support). The platform uses a proprietary domain-specific language and an open-code architecture that allows extensions without altering previously developed modules, supporting deployments across cloud, desktop and mobile environments.

The company operates a channel-led go-to-market model: software is not sold directly to end customers but through a certified global partner network of VARs, system integrators and regional implementation specialists spanning 50+ countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America, Africa and the CIS. Partners receive permanent discounts up to 55%, access to the low-code development platform, and benefit from partner enablement programs such as the 1Ci Academy. End-customer revenue is generated via one-time software licenses (PIN codes and partner packs), subscription support and maintenance, and partner-delivered professional services, while 1C:Jet functions as a freemium entry point to expand the developer and partner ecosystem.

Customers range from micro-businesses and SMBs (e.g., Jhon Pastel, ACM Meat Factory, BORATAŞ MAKİNA, Pomo Pizza Dubai) to large multinational enterprises and government entities (e.g., Russian Post with 36,000+ seats, Geely, AvtoVAZ, Siemens Energy, Coca-Cola Mongolia, Faberlic, SPLAT, Volvo Financial Services, Team Global Express). Vertical specializations include manufacturing, wholesale and distribution, textile and apparel, food and restaurants, retail, logistics and transport, shipyards, industrial machinery and IFRS reporting. The legal entity is 1C International LLC with governing law set to the Russian Federation.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• SAP: Global leader in enterprise ERP (SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business One). Directly comparable to 1C:ERP for large enterprise deployments and to 1C:Drive for mid-market, though SAP serves a far broader portfolio of industries and geographies.
• Microsoft Dynamics 365: Microsoft's ERP and CRM suite (Business Central for mid-market, Finance & Supply Chain for enterprise). Competes head-on with 1C:Drive and 1C:ERP, with the advantage of deep Office 365 / Azure ecosystem integration and global partner network.
• Oracle NetSuite: Cloud-native ERP platform targeting mid-market and upper mid-market — the same core segment as 1C:Drive. Both emphasize fast deployment, multi-currency, and multi-subsidiary capabilities, making them direct substitutes in international expansion scenarios.
• Infor: Enterprise ERP vendor with deep industry-specific suites (manufacturing, distribution, fashion, food). Comparable to 1C's vertical-industry approach at the 1C:ERP tier, though Infor focuses primarily on upper mid-market and enterprise in North America and Europe.
• Epicor: ERP vendor focused on manufacturing, distribution, retail, and services for mid-market. Directly comparable to 1C:Drive for Production and 1C:ERP in discrete/process manufacturing and wholesale/distribution verticals.

Direct peers

• Odoo: Open-source, modular ERP platform with strong low-code customization, partner/channel distribution, and SMB-to-mid-market positioning. Most closely comparable to 1C on technology model (low-code + partner ecosystem) and customer segment, and represents 1C's strongest head-to-head competitor in emerging markets.
• ERPNext: Open-source ERP built on a low-code framework (Frappe), distributed via partner network, with vertical solutions for manufacturing, retail, and services — parallel positioning to 1C:Enterprise's vertical depth and partner-driven GTM.

Regional players

• Kingdee: Leading Chinese ERP vendor with strong mid-market and cloud ERP offerings (Kingdee Cloud, EAS). Comparable as a regionally-dominant low-code ERP platform with vertical solutions, but primarily serving Greater China rather than 1C's emerging-market footprint.
• TOTVS: Dominant Latin American ERP vendor with industry-specific solutions for manufacturing, distribution, retail, and services. Comparable to 1C's vertical depth and mid-market channel model, though concentrated in Brazil rather than 1C's multi-region LATAM coverage.

Emerging players

• HashMicro: Southeast Asia-focused cloud ERP with industry verticals and partner distribution. Comparable as a regionally-focused, verticalized ERP challenger targeting SMB-to-mid-market, similar to 1C's go-to-market in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
