TunkaForm instead of 1C: which is right for a sheet metal business?

Short answer

At a roofing sheet or corrugated sheet company, 1C doesn't work without customisation: it has no flashing calculator and doesn't know RAL codes or worker rates. Customisation costs UZS 30-70 million and takes 1-3 months. TunkaForm comes with these features out of the box, goes live in 1 day and costs from UZS 499,000 per month. You can keep 1C for accounting and run production and sales in TunkaForm.

When is 1C the right choice?

If you mainly need accounting and tax reporting, 1C is a good tool. But the daily work of a sheet metal company - calculating flashings, deducting metal, worker pay, order stages - isn't covered by 1C's standard configurations. Many companies use both: 1C for accounting and TunkaForm for production and sales.

Does TunkaForm fully replace 1C?

For production and sales - yes: orders, inventory, cash desk, debts and payroll. Most companies keep 1C for official accounting and tax reporting.

How is it better than Excel?

In Excel, formulas break, several employees can't work at the same time, and inventory isn't deducted automatically. In TunkaForm, every order is automatically linked to inventory, the cash desk and payroll.

How long does the switch take?

1 business day. Data migration and staff training are free.
