Website + 1C

Almost every company and even individual entrepreneurs today have their own website. Unfortunately, most legal entities do not utilise their commercial potential, treating them often as business cards. Managers do not even realise that the integration of the launched site with the accounting system on the platform 1C:Enterprise" is able to increase the number of contacts with potential customers, and as a consequence, and orders, and without additional efforts: on the contrary - employees do not have to manually transfer information from the site to 1C. This is not the end of the advantages of integration with 1C as a tool for increasing business efficiency and obtaining reliable data.

Advantages of integrating the site and 1C systems

It is safe to say that the automatic exchange of information between the site and 1C will be of great benefit to any company. Integration and support of 1C is among the standard maintenance services, so it is done in a short time. In this case, the specialisation of your business does not matter, because the list of advantages of integration is very wide: 

1. The ability to present to customers all the information about your products or services in the most complete and favourable light. The possibilities of websites allow you to create convenient catalogues with the functions of quick search, comparison by certain criteria and, eventually, order placement directly in 1C;

2. relevance of the list of items. When a new nomenclature or service appears in the 1C system, the next time the data is updated, it will appear on the site. Employees will not have to configure and change anything additionally manually. The speed of appearance of new items depends only on the integration settings;

3. The reputation of online shops is seriously affected by the mismatch of prices on the website and when ordering. Integration and regular data exchange between the site and 1C constantly keeps prices and balances up to date. Customers will trust your site more if the cost of services or goods will coincide with the final prices in 1C. Visitors are much more likely to place orders on sites where they see at once the final price and can calculate their spending; 

4. automatic generation of orders and other documents in 1C. This possibility of integration with 1C allows you to free your employees from duplicating information entered by customers on the site. An additional advantage is the elimination of errors in the work of users; 

5. The ability to promptly inform customers about the process of order provision and fulfilment in 1C. Customers appreciate the ability to track on the site in real time the stages of order preparation:

• Change of order status;
• Receipt to the warehouse;
• Kitting;
• Receipt of payment.

6. Integration will provide automatic generation of some reporting and documentation in 1C. This significantly saves working time of the company's employees. Full integration with 1C will provide regular clarification of data and notification of changes.

The above advantages are especially noticeable when the number of orders per day exceeds a dozen. But many experts strongly recommend to be concerned about the integration of the site and 1C at a stage when the business has not yet conquered this boundary. After all, when the company will flourish, it will be problematic to allocate time to discuss the details of integration. Also, if there will be noticed flaws or errors, it is much easier and painless to eliminate them at the initial stage of development.

Development of your own format of exchange 1C with the site will require serious efforts and monetary investments, whatever the format of exchange is not - combined, which combines the standard features of the platform 1C, or refined, with prescribed deviations from the business logic of the system. But in the end, the combination of well-designed integration and 1C support will give the business an effective tool for work.
