1C:Fresh is a cloud version of 1C that you connect to via the internet: there's no need to install anything on your computer, buy a server, or track updates — 1C handles all of that, while Slava KVC takes care of connection and support. In essence, you get familiar 1C (Accounting, Trade, and other configurations) as a subscription, accessible from anywhere with internet access.
Who it's for
The service is broadly targeted: accountants, managers, small and medium businesses, startups, and sole proprietors (IP). Some value the ability to work remotely and see financial indicators in real time, others prefer not to spend on a server and IT specialist, paying only for actual use. For small companies and sole proprietors there are simpler and more affordable plans — for example, "Optimal" with 2 databases and up to 3 sessions.
What tasks it covers and what's included
- Working with 1C without installation — via browser, from any device with internet access.
- Automatic updates — always the latest version of the program, without manual updates and the downtime associated with them.
- Scalability — you can add users and functionality as your business grows, without rebuilding the infrastructure from scratch.
- Data protection — encryption and regular backups.
- Technical support from the 1C company.
- Functionality development — Slava KVC has 1C:Network Competence Center status, so missing functionality can be developed through the extensions mechanism.
- Pricing plans: Extended Economy, Extended Standard, Extended Expert, as well as the simpler "Optimal" for small companies. They differ in the number of work hours, number of information databases, and update frequency. Hours can be spent not only on technical support, but also on development, training, and other services.
The cost depends on the selected plan and usage parameters — exact figures are not publicly available; current pricing can be clarified by phone or at sales@1c-sapa.kz. Information in the price list is for reference only and does not constitute an offer.
When it's worth choosing, and when it's not
Fresh makes sense if you want to eliminate expenses on a server, maintenance, and manual updates, if you work remotely or across several locations, if your business is growing and you don't want to keep buying hardware for new users every time. It's also an option for those who value that technical support and development are already partially included in the plan through work hours.
If you already have a properly configured on-premise 1C on a server that satisfies everyone, and there's no need for remote access — switching to the cloud may be an excessive step, especially if the specifics of your business require non-standard development that goes beyond the extensions mechanism. In this case, it's worth first discussing specific tasks with a manager to understand which plan and volume of hours you actually need.
