Mis-picks and losses
Goods are not where they are recorded, and shortages only surface during inventory counts.
Warehouse automation: WMS tailored to your processes and 1C
KT.Team is not a boxed WMS vendor. We implement, customize, and integrate your warehouse system with your processes, 1C, and IT landscape. We select the system for the task, own the business outcome, and reduce IT spend.
Our clients
Clients and partners
When needed
When warehouse automation is needed
Slow picking
Without location-based storage, the picker relies on memory, and orders are assembled slowly and with errors.
Inaccurate stock
A mismatch between actual and recorded stock leads to returns, incorrect balances on the website and marketplaces, and penalties.
The foreign vendor has left
WMS needs to be replaced without losing customizations and integrations.
WMS cannot keep up
The system is unstable, expensive to maintain, does not scale, and enhancements take months.
No data for decisions
The warehouse is running, but there are no dashboards or KPIs, so bottlenecks are unclear.

Approach
KT.Team approach: integrator, not boxed-software seller
We choose the system for the task
We select a suitable WMS from the CIS software registry, including 1C-based solutions, or adapt your current one. We do not sell our own.
We are accountable for business results
Project metrics are picking speed, stock accuracy, and costs, not the fact that licenses were installed.
We build loosely coupled systems
WMS works together with 1C, ERP, DWH, and marketplaces through an ESB, so components can change without rewriting the landscape.
We cut IT spend
A small, strong team and a short TTU instead of a bloated rollout.
Scope of work
What we do
WMS implementation
System selection for your processes and volumes, warehouse topology design, zone and rule setup, launch, training, and support.
Enhancement of an existing WMS
We extend your current system for real-world processes: putaway and picking logic, reports, integrations, and non-standard scenarios.
Replacement and migration
We migrate project customizations and integrations to a domestic WMS. Emergency MVP or a planned phased migration with minimal downtime.
Location-based storage
Location-based topology, putaway and picking rules, handheld terminal workflows, faster picking, and fewer packing errors.
WMS for fulfillment
Setup for FBS/FBO, inventory synchronization with marketplaces (WB, Ozon), returns handling, and traceability for Chestny Znak.
Warehouse analytics
DWH-based dashboards and KPI: zone utilization, shift productivity, bottlenecks, and stock accuracy.
Platforms
WMS solutions and platforms we work with
We don't sell our own WMS — we select a system tailored to your warehouse, processes, budget and existing IT landscape, not for vendor lock-in. Three implementations KT.Team works with in practice.
| Environment | Platforms | When we choose it | KT.Team's role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1C suite | 1C:WMS Logistics. Warehouse Management (on 1C:Enterprise 8) Bin location in 1C:ERP, 1C:UT, 1C:UNF | You already have 1C, and the warehouse should operate in a unified configuration and ledger, not as a separate silo | We implement, configure storage zones and picking rules, embed into the 1C landscape |
| Commercial solutions (CIS and global) | Solvo.WMS, LEAD WMS (LogistiX), Logistics Vision Suite (Ant Technologies) — from CIS software registry From global solutions — Manhattan Active WM | Large or high-throughput warehouse requiring a mature platform; global solution — for international operations or existing licenses | We implement, customize for your processes, integrate with 1C and the rest of the landscape via ESB/messaging bus |
| Open-source | Odoo Inventory, OpenBoxes, myWMS (Fraunhofer IML, GPL) | Pilot, small warehouse, or limited budget — with readiness to customize; lower maturity and feature depth than packaged WMS | We deploy, customize for your processes, integrate with 1C; as volume grows, we prepare migration to industrial-grade WMS |

Warehouse Automation
Warehouse automation: where it starts and how it ends
Warehouse automation is not buying a system, but a sequence of four steps. Skipping any of them turns the project into an expensive replacement of paper with a screen.
1. Topology and location addressing
The warehouse is divided into zones and bins, and each gets an address. Without this, the system has nowhere to place goods and nothing to tell the picker, so any WMS is reduced to stock accounting.
2. Product data
Dimensions, weight, storage conditions, expiration dates, batches, and barcodes. Put-away and picking rules are calculated from these attributes; empty fields disable the algorithms.
3. Handheld terminal operations
Receiving, put-away, picking, and inventory are turned into terminal tasks. Manual searching disappears here, and every operation leaves a trace.
4. Exchange with accounting
Stock, orders, and shipments are synchronized with 1C. While exchange is manual, automation inside the warehouse has no external effect, and the business sees outdated numbers.
According to industry reviews, more than 80% of new WMS implementations in CIS are domestic solutions, so the question is usually not which foreign system to choose, but what to do with the one already in place. We work equally well in three scenarios: implement from scratch, enhance the current system, or replace the one that left the market while migrating customizations. See the full industry overview on the page IT solutions for logistics. If the warehouse handles third-party goods, see Contract warehousing and 3PL.
Warehouse analytics
What to measure in the warehouse so decisions are data-driven
WMS records every operation, but logs alone do not solve anything. Warehouse analytics begins where operations are turned into metrics that reveal the bottleneck.
Shift productivity
Picking lines per person per hour, by zone and by shift. It shows not who is working poorly, but where the warehouse layout forces extra walking.
Stock accuracy
Difference between recorded and actual stock from cycle counts. A drop in accuracy is an early sign that the put-away process has broken down.
Zone and bin occupancy
Where the warehouse is congested and where it stands idle. The basis for moving fast-moving items closer to the picking zone.
Order cycle time
From receipt to shipment, broken down by stage. Average values are not enough - we look at p95, otherwise the tail of problematic orders stays hidden.
Picking errors
Share of mispicks and returns caused by the warehouse. This converts directly into money: a return is more expensive than correct picking.
Receiving and put-away
How long goods stay in the receiving area before put-away. A long receiving process blocks picking and creates an invisible shortage.
Technically, this means exporting WMS operations into a data warehouse and building dashboards on top of it, so metrics are calculated from history rather than the current database state. Warehouse data then enters the shared analytics environment together with sales and procurement: see DWH and data analytics.
Warehouse on 1C
Warehouse automation in 1C: when accounting is enough and when WMS is needed
Warehouse accounting is built into 1C configurations themselves - UT, ERP, and Integrated. A separate warehouse system is not always needed, and the honest answer depends on what the warehouse manages.
1C accounting is enough
The assortment is small, storage is not location-based, picking follows a paper delivery note, and shipment volume is predictable. Putting WMS here adds complexity without benefit.
WMS is needed
Location-based storage, picker tasks on handheld terminals, batches and expiration dates, wave picking, multiple zones and shifts. This is operational control that the accounting system does not provide.
WMS on the 1C platform
Domestic by default, familiar to administrators, and closer to accounting. Exchange with 1C is simpler, but compare operational capabilities with specialized systems against your own scenarios.
Separate WMS + integration
When the warehouse is an operations engine and strong picking algorithms are needed. Then exchange is critical: stock, tasks, and shipment statuses between WMS and 1C.
In both cases, the choice of system is not the deciding factor, but the exchange. Direct writes to the database produce discrepancies at the first load spike, so we build the warehouse ↔ 1C connection through an integration layer with an exchange log, making discrepancies visible when they occur, not during inventory. See also 1C:ERP and WMS on 1C.
Import substitution
Import substitution and the CIS software registry
Selection from the registry
WMS from the Unified Register of CIS Software; solutions on the 1C platform are domestic by default.
Loss-free migration
We reproduce the departed system's customizations and integrations, so migration is effectively a new implementation.
Verifiable compliance
We handle registry compliance as a requirements checklist, not as a product called a “registry.”
Still choosing a WMS?
Process and data first, system selection second
If WMS is not yet selected, start with WMS-readiness: warehouse process, data and integration audit, vendor comparison scenarios, pilot plan and TCO assessment — before RFQ
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you sell your own WMS?
No. KT.Team is an integrator, not a boxed WMS vendor. We select a system for the task from the CIS software registry or adapt the one already installed. Our priority is business results, not selling licenses for a single platform.
We haven't selected a WMS yet — where to start?
Starting with WMS readiness assessment: we document processes, data and integrations, prepare working scenarios for vendor comparison, pilot plan and TCO estimate. So your system choice is based on your workflows, not feature checklists.
Can our current WMS be enhanced instead of replaced?
Yes, this is one of the main use cases. We extend the system to fit your processes: putaway and picking algorithms, reports, integrations with 1C and marketplaces.
A foreign vendor has left - how quickly can you replace the system?
Based on urgency, we choose the right scenario: an emergency MVP on a domestic WMS or a planned phased migration with transfer of customizations and integrations.
How will the WMS connect with our 1C?
Through bus-level integration: end-to-end stock, orders, and documents between WMS and 1C (ERP, trade management, accounting). WMS ↔ 1C integration is our core expertise.
Is this suitable for marketplace sales?
Yes. We configure fulfillment for FBS/FBO, synchronize stock with WB and Ozon, handle returns, and support traceability for Chestny Znak.
Does the solution meet import substitution requirements?
Yes. We select a system from the CIS software registry; 1C-platform solutions are CIS by default. We document compliance as a verifiable checklist.
