Lotics vs 1Office

1Office is a set of ready-made modules for HR, tasks and sales. Lotics is where AI builds the system around how the company works, then enters the data, checks the numbers and drafts the documents in it.

Updated October 2026. Each fact about 1Office cites its source.

Choose 1Office when

  • The work to solve is HR: timekeeping, payroll, KPIs and social insurance filings.
  • The office team needs tasks, approvals and digitally signed documents in one system.
  • The way you manage customers, quotes and sales orders matches 1Office's ready-made modules.

Choose Lotics when

  • Your core work (shipments, containers, documents) fits no ready-made module.
  • The way you work changes often, and the system has to change with it.
  • You want ChatGPT, Claude or the built-in AI working on the company's records, with no developer.

Where they differ

Built the way you work

Where a suite has a module for a job, the company works the way that module does; where it has none, someone builds it. For a forwarder or a depot, shipments, containers and debit notes are the part someone has to build.

Lotics
Your AI builds the tables and each desk's apps from the Excel files and document templates the company already uses, and changes them when you ask. No implementation fee.

The AI you choose

Your team already uses ChatGPT or Claude, but each chat starts from nothing. When that same AI reads the company's records, change history and documents, the next job starts from how the last one was done. And how it was done stays with the company when the person who did it leaves.

Lotics
ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini connect with your own account, read the company's records, change history and documents, and can do anything you can, including changing the system.

Moving from 1Office to Lotics

  1. Get the data you're moving out to Excel files, or through 1Office's Open API.
  2. Hand those files to your AI (ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini) with the setup prompt.
  3. It builds the tables, apps and document templates in Lotics from the columns in each file, then imports the data.
  4. Keep 1Office for HR, timekeeping, payroll and digital signatures. Shipments, documents and invoices move to Lotics.

Frequently asked questions

1Office is a management suite sold by module, from 1Office JSC, a Hanoi company founded in 2015: 1WORK for tasks and processes, 1HRM for HR and payroll, 1CRM for customers, sales, purchasing and inventory, and 1SIGN for digital signatures. It also has a drag-and-drop builder for your own apps and its own AI assistants, 1AI.

1Office is good for the office side of a Vietnamese company: timekeeping, payroll, KPIs, social insurance filings through I-VAN, tasks, approvals and digital signatures in one system. Work specific to a trade, such as a forwarder's shipments and containers, has no ready-made module, so the company builds it itself with the drag-and-drop builder.

For operations, yes; for HR, no. Lotics can take over the work around customers, orders, shipments, documents and invoices, but it has no ready-made timekeeping, payroll or social insurance filing like 1Office's.

Yes. HR, timekeeping and payroll stay in 1Office. Shipments, documents and invoices live in Lotics, where AI does the manual work.

1Office's 1AI answers questions, reads CVs, builds payroll and summarises meetings inside 1Office. In Lotics, the AI you choose does a whole job on the company's records, from data entry to the debit note, and a person reviews it.

The AI can already do the work; what builds up is what it has to work from. In Lotics the records, the history of every change and the documents on prices, procedures and customer terms sit in one place any AI you choose can read, so each job starts from how the last was done, even after the person who did it has left. 1Office's 1AI also reads the company's documents and policies, inside 1Office.

1Office's builder assembles apps from 1Office's forms, dashboards and reports, dragged and dropped by people with 1AI suggesting. In Lotics, AI builds the screens each desk's work needs, such as a gate screen for receiving containers or a check of freight charges against the shipping line's invoice.

Tell the AI and the system changes with it, no developer needed.

Yes. The Lotics team builds and keeps the system up to date for you, from $60 a month, with a 3-month minimum.

Start free. Paid plans from $60 a month, with unlimited users. Your own ChatGPT or Claude uses no AI Credits.
