1C:Drive

La Marquessa is a growing uniform manufacturing company specializing in tailor-made institutional uniforms for multiple industries. With a highly personalized production model — from design to individual measurements and nationwide delivery — the company manages multilevel product variants, custom sizing, maquila outsourcing, and direct distribution.

Before adopting 1Ci, La Marquessa relied on fragmented tools and manual workflows to manage CRM, production planning, material requests, costing, and inventory — creating operational inefficiencies and limiting growth capacity. To support its expanding client base and international deliveries, the company sought a unified digital system to control full production, costing, and delivery processes.

Challenges

La Marquessa faced complex operational challenges due to the personalized nature of its business:

Fully customized production for each client
Multi-level product configuration and variants
Maquila (outsourced manufacturing) management
Highly variable product catalog and pricing
Complex costing and planning
Manual material requests and inventory control
Limited visibility across production stages
Risk of human errors and delays in order execution

The lack of unified systems reduced efficiency, increased operational risks, and slowed down order fulfillment and scaling efforts.
