What 1С Франчайзи: Лотос does

1С Франчайзи: Лотос (1C Franchise: Lotos) is a Russian IT services company and authorized 1C franchise partner, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Simferopol, Republic of Crimea, with a secondary office in Moscow. The firm sells, implements, customizes, and supports 1C enterprise software — including 1C:Бухгалтерия (accounting), 1C:Зарплата и управление персоналом (HR/payroll), 1C:Управление торговлей (trade management), 1C:Розница (retail), and 1C:Комплексная автоматизация — as well as Bitrix24 CRM and 1C-Bitrix-based online stores. Underlying technology is the 1C:Enterprise 8 platform, augmented by 1C:Fresh cloud delivery, 1C:EДО electronic document management, and integrations with cash register peripherals. The company employs 43 staff holding 31 active 1C Professional and Specialist certifications, and has delivered approximately 450 software licenses and 315 implementation projects over the past five years.

The business generates revenue from four streams: one-time 1C software license resale, professional services for implementation and customization (billed at roughly 1,500 rubles/hour for remote support), recurring 1C:ITS information-technology support subscriptions, and recurring 1C cloud rental via 1C:Fresh and 1C:Ready Workplace. Pricing for end customers ranges from 543 rubles/month for basic accounting subscriptions to 30,500 rubles for a perpetual 1C:Управление торговлей ПРОФ license. Go-to-market is direct and sales-led, combining website-driven inbound, phone outreach, and field sales from the Simferopol office, with brand leverage from the 1C partner network. The customer base spans 300+ organizations across SMBs and select enterprises in Crimea, primarily in retail, beverage distribution, fuel services, construction, and real estate, with a stated 95% repeat customer rate indicating high retention. The company has not disclosed funding, M&A activity, or financial performance, and operates as a privately held regional SME.

Emerging players

• ELMA: Russian low-code BPM/CRM vendor competing in the same SMB business-automation budget pool as 1C, Bitrix24, and the services Lotos wraps around them.

Direct peers

• First Bit (Первый Бит): Large 1C franchise partner network with comparable service mix (1C sales, implementation, ITS support, Bitrix24). Competes for the same SMB automation wallet across Russian regions.
• 1C:Rarus (1С-Рарус): One of the largest authorised 1C franchise networks in Russia, offering 1C implementation, customisation, and support across multiple regions — a direct analogue of Lotos's business model at greater scale.
• 1C:April Soft (1С-Апрель Софт): Authorised 1C franchise partner providing implementation, support, and 1C:ITS across multiple Russian regions — directly comparable in service portfolio and customer segments.

Broad incumbents

• 1C Company (Фирма «1С»): The franchisor and dominant Russian ERP/Accounting software vendor whose products Lotos resells and implements. Comparable as the platform owner governing Lotos's entire revenue stack.
• Jet Infosystems (Jet IT): Russian systems integrator and IT-services firm implementing ERP, CRM, and business automation solutions — adjacent comparable for software implementation services in the Russian market.
• CROC (КРОК): Major Russian IT integrator with a wide portfolio including ERP/CRM implementations. Overlaps with Lotos in enterprise software deployment but at significantly larger scale and breadth.
• Softline: Large Russian IT distributor and services firm offering software licensing, cloud, and managed services. Comparable as a broader incumbent that overlaps with Lotos in software distribution and SMB IT services.

Others

• 1C-Bitrix / Bitrix24: Owner of the Bitrix24 CRM/web platform that Lotos resells and integrates. Adjacent ecosystem participant — not a direct competitor but a strategic partner whose roadmap shapes Lotos's cross-sell opportunity.

Regional players

• MAYCOR (Майкор): Russian IT-services provider focused on outsourcing, system integration, and software support across regional SMB and mid-market accounts — comparable customer and service mix.
