What is Sora İK?

Sora İK is the HR management software we develop to bring the human resources processes of businesses in Türkiye onto one cloud platform. An employee record is created once; leave, time and attendance, the attendance ledger, payroll, performance and reporting all draw on the same data.

The product is currently in early access. Companies register at sora-ik.com; accounts are opened after a review by the Sora İK team, by manual rather than automatic approval.

Who is it for?

  • SMEs and mid-sized companies

    Businesses that want to move HR work out of spreadsheets and email threads and manage it in one place.

  • HR and payroll teams

    Specialists who want to run records, leave, attendance and payroll steps on the same data, with approval flows.

  • Managers and employees

    Employees who see their own data and requests in self-service, and managers who handle team approvals from a single list.

How it works

One employee record, connected processes

In Sora İK, data flows from one module to the next, so the same information never has to be re-entered in different spreadsheets.

  1. 1

    Employee record

    Identity, contract and job history in one record

  2. 2

    Leave & attendance

    Leave requests, clock-in and clock-out records

  3. 3

    Attendance ledger

    Days worked, absences and overtime

  4. 4

    Payroll

    Gross-to-net pay, SGK premiums, tax deductions

  5. 5

    Payroll summary

    CSV for SGK and MUHSGK preparation

Producing the file for upload to the official systems is on the roadmap; in the first release the payroll summary is exported as CSV.

Benefits

What does it bring to your business?

  • Data is entered once

    The employee record feeds leave, the attendance ledger, payroll and reports from the same source, reducing copy-paste between spreadsheets and version confusion.

  • Calculations designed around legislation

    Annual leave entitlement is designed to follow Labor Law No. 4857, and payroll the SGK premium and tax deduction rules; parameters are updated centrally.

  • Approvals on one screen

    Employees open requests in self-service and managers see pending approvals in a single list, cutting down email and paper forms.

  • Workflows without code

    You define the steps, approvers and conditions of leave and document approvals with the workflow designer.

  • KVKK processes on record

    Record-keeping and permission tools for privacy notices, explicit consent and retention; the employer, as data controller, remains responsible for the obligations.

  • No installation, published prices

    It runs in the browser and updates are central. Plans are annual, priced by number of active employees, and prices are published openly on sora-ik.com.

Calculation results support decision-making; they do not replace legal or financial advice. We recommend having critical calculations checked by your accountant or legal adviser.

Security & data protection

An architecture built with security in mind for employee data

As a team working in network and endpoint security, we built security into Sora İK's design from the start. Key measures:

  • TLS 1.2 or higher between browser and server (TLS 1.3 where supported)
  • Passwords hashed one-way with argon2id, never stored in plain text
  • Role-based access rights and two-factor authentication (2FA)
  • Audit log for critical actions: who changed what, and when
  • Personal data minimized in system logs
  • Your data is yours: export it as CSV during your subscription

Under KVKK, the customer company is the data controller for employee data and Sora İK is the data processor; sub-processors are listed openly with their purposes.

Why we built it

At Sora Yazılım we build network security, server and cloud infrastructure for businesses and develop custom software. Sora İK is one of the projects where we turned that experience into our own product: it was designed to bring HR work, scattered across spreadsheets, email threads and disconnected programs, onto one platform.

The product is designed and developed by the Sora Yazılım Teknolojileri team; up-to-date product information, plans and agreements are published on sora-ik.com.

Güzelleş, the online booking software we built for the beauty and aesthetics sector, is also a Sora Yazılım product.
