1IC is a small, Netherlands-based software publisher that focuses on low-code automation for business analysts and citizen developers. Its single public product, BPMN-RPA Studio, re-imagines robotic process automation by combining the familiarity of BPMN flow-chart notation with the power of the Python ecosystem. Instead of proprietary scripting languages, users drag standard BPMN shapes onto a canvas, assign Python snippets to each task, and instantly generate executable workflows that can read Excel, call REST APIs, manipulate databases, pilot headless browsers or control desktop applications. Typical use cases range from finance departments that reconcile daily bank statements and generate ledger entries, to logistics teams that poll carrier APIs and update shipment records, or HR administrators who bulk-create user accounts from employee onboarding lists. Because the underlying code is plain Python, organisations can import existing libraries, schedule flows through Windows Task Scheduler or Linux cron, and later extend them in any IDE without vendor lock-in. The studio itself runs on Windows and offers step-through debugging, variable inspection, and export to standalone Python scripts for server deployment. 1IC’s software is available for free on get.nero.com; the BPMN-RPA Studio package is delivered through the trusted winget source, always installing the newest release and supporting batch installation alongside other Windows applications.
