Why does this product come from a management consultancy?

PillarRise is a management consultancy. We work in corporate governance, process design, financial analysis and performance management. What sets us apart is that we do not stop at the report and the presentation — we solve the problem with software we build ourselves. Software is not a product we are trying to sell you; it is the instrument our consulting work runs on.

That is where the difference begins. A software vendor installs the product and withdraws. We start with the process itself — is the authorisation structure right, does the approval flow match the org chart, who actually makes the compliance decisions? Then we write the tool that runs that process.

Digital HR is what that approach looks like in HR and payroll: not a package sitting on a shelf, but a consulting output that has been made to run. A rollout is not just switching screens on; we design the authorisation structure, the approval flow and the compliance decisions with you.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone

Buying HR software does not end the problems — more often it starts new ones.

None of the following is invented. These are the sentences that come up most often in store reviews, complaint sites and user forums for the products on this market.

I ran payroll and the SGK premium was never posted. It went unnoticed for months.

A silent error is the most expensive kind. The portal will not write a line it cannot calculate; it tells you, employee by employee, which figure failed and why.

My annual leave balance shows minus 133 days and I have not been able to book leave for ten days.

The balance is not recalculated on every screen; a movement ledger is kept. Delete a leave record and both the ledger and the balance correct themselves.

I gave a manager access and now they can see the whole company's salaries.

Access comes from a permission set, not a job title. An operational manager cannot see salary, national ID or IBAN on any screen — the data does not even leave the query.

We removed our fingerprint terminals. What do we track attendance with now?

We collected no biometric data even before the KVKK ruling of 29.04.2026. QR + location + an offline queue are ready today; no hardware change is needed.

Our warehouse staff have no e-mail addresses. Nobody can sign in.

E-mail is not required. Employees sign in with their employee number — nobody is asked to open a personal Gmail account, and no shared mailbox is passed around. Everyone gets their own account and their own record.

An employee left and still has the laptop. The exit form says 'returned'.

Ticking a box does not bring the equipment back. The exit process does not close until assigned assets are checked back in.

We kept OHS paperwork in Excel and could not find the document the inspector asked for.

OHS documentation is in the core package, at no extra cost. Training records, health surveillance and document expiry dates are held per employee, and a reminder reaches HR before a document expires.

The manager is travelling and the approval is stuck. Everyone is waiting.

The approver signs off from a single link in the e-mail, without opening the portal. Delegation, escalation and bulk approval are all there.

Flagship

Payroll & CPA Reconciliation

A 46-item engine, a net→gross solver, hourly staff, incentives, private pension and wage garnishment — plus a reconciliation screen that takes your CPA's summary and compares it line by line, carry-forward chain checks, proof of payslip delivery and the 270-hour counter.

Core

Encrypted personnel files, a leave balance backed by a movement ledger, Article 53 entitlements, multi-step approval, delegation, org chart and automatic reminders. Employees without an e-mail address sign in with their employee number.

Core · Law 6331

OHS Documentation

Health and safety training, health surveillance records and document validity dates in one place, per employee. An expiring document reaches HR before it expires — not during an inspection.

We'll show you in the demo
Field

Assets, Equipment & Vehicle Fleet

QR labels, stock counts from a phone, depreciation under Turkish tax rules; roadworthiness, traffic and comprehensive insurance renewal dates for vehicles, and bulk upload from a 30-column spreadsheet.

Talent

Performance & Talent Management

Performance 370°: a classic scorecard plus 360° review plus OKRs plus CFR (all three optional). On top of that, the talent layer: 9-box, succession plans for critical roles and a career map per employee.

See the detail
Add-on

Disciplinary Process

Request for a written defence, the minutes, the decision and its notification are recorded in order and with their dates; the process is filed to the employee record. The question "where is that document" never comes up later.

We'll show you in the demo
Headcount

Recruitment, Headcount Planning & Requests

Approved headcount and open positions, a candidate pool (automatically anonymised after 24 months), offer → personnel file in one click; expense and advance requests with receipts attached.

New

Employee Experience — Onboarding + Puzzle of the Day

New joiners get a "My First Days" screen: a task roadmap, a buddy, and surveys on day 7 and day 30 — a low score lands with HR immediately. Puzzle of the Day turns the portal into a daily habit: one new brain teaser, the same one for everyone, every day. In this segment, nobody else has this layer.

Pricing

The Core package is 0 TL for up to 20 employees — permanently, not a trial. Above that: an HR product whose prices are published on the site; list price per module, an instant calculator for your headcount, and a discount for paying annually. No surprises.

Who gains what?

Three different people, three different problems.

The same portal shows three different things on three different screens — because what each of them should see (and should not see) is not the same.

HR manager

  • The month-end payroll run, step by step, with a checklist
  • Any line that could not be calculated comes to you with its reason
  • Bulk employee upload and ready-made catalogues
  • OHS training and health surveillance documents tracked by date
  • Automatic reminders: probation end, birthdays, document expiry
  • Payroll ledger, summary, MUHSGK filing and bank file in one click

Employee and line manager

  • Every screen works on a phone — identical to the desktop
  • Employees without an e-mail address sign in with their employee number
  • Leave requests, payslips, scorecards and assigned assets in your pocket
  • Approve from the e-mail in one click, without signing in
  • Clock in and out by QR; with no signal it queues and syncs later
  • The portal is in Turkish, English and Arabic — foreign staff use their own language

CPA & CFO

  • Your CPA gets their own account — without taking an employee seat
  • Read-only if you prefer: they cannot change a single record
  • The rates and parameters in use are printed on the screen
  • Accounting journal, depreciation schedule, severance provision report
  • Access closes by itself when the engagement ends
How we work

We do not install the software and leave you to it.

During the rollout we take the compliance and process decisions together; we close the first payroll period together and get through the first CPA reconciliation together. Go-live typically takes one to two weeks; when you migrate from your existing system, carry-forward tax bases and leave balances are moved using our own checklist.

Frequently asked

Questions we get

Is migrating from our current payroll software difficult?
You can migrate mid-year. For each employee you enter the carry-forward cumulative income tax base and the number of months already payrolled; the portal solves gross from there. We recommend running the first period in parallel — we compare the results against your CPA's payslip calculation.
Some of our employees have no e-mail address. How do they sign in?
E-mail is not required. They sign in with their employee number — no employee is asked to open a personal e-mail account. In manufacturing, field, warehouse and retail workforces this is the norm rather than the exception, so it was designed in from the start. Nor do you need to share one mailbox between several people: everyone gets their own account, their own leave balance and their own payslip. If the employee has a mobile number, SMS verification is also available; if not, HR creates the account and hands the sign-in details over in person.
Our CPA uses their own software. Is that a problem?
No. You can open an account for your CPA; they see payroll in the portal and can take the ledger, the summary, the MUHSGK filing and the accounting journal. You can grant it read-only if you prefer: they cannot change a single record. And you do not pay an extra seat for that account.
Is OHS document tracking charged separately?
No — OHS documentation is part of the Core package, so companies using the free tier for up to 20 employees get these screens too. Training records, health surveillance documents and validity dates are held per employee, and a reminder is raised before a document expires. It is sold as a separate product in some places; with us it is in the core, because a proper record set is mandatory for every company covered by Law 6331.
Where is our data held, and can we take it with us when we leave?
Data is hosted in Türkiye. Fields such as salary, national ID and IBAN are stored encrypted. Reports and lists can be exported to Excel, and at the end of the contract you can request a full export of your data.
What size of company is this for?
Any size. Up to 20 employees you use the Core package free — permanently, with no credit card; small companies put their records, leave and approval structure in order without paying anything. Where payroll and regulatory depth are needed, in larger organisations, our real strength shows. Multi-site and multi-cost-centre structures, agreed net salaries, benefits in kind and incentive management are the areas we are strong in. Where one tax number covers several workplaces we consolidate the cumulative tax base; manufacturing, field and retail businesses with hourly and part-time staff are equally in scope. Manufacturers, technopark/R&D companies, holders of investment incentive certificates and employers of retired staff each have their own configuration.
How does pricing work?
Price depends on the modules you switch on and your headcount — and all of it is published on the site: the figure you see in the calculator on the pricing page is the same figure you will see in the proposal. Because Core is free up to 20 employees, many small companies start without paying anything. Only the one-off implementation fee and the volume price for organisations above 150 employees are settled in the proposal.
Is the free package really unlimited in time?
Yes. Companies of 20 people or fewer use the Core package with no time limit; it is not a trial version, we do not ask for a credit card, and there is no counter that runs out at the end. We do not cut features either — you use the same screens as paid Core. You can add modules such as Payroll or Time & Attendance as paid extras if you want them.
What happens when we hire our 21st employee?
You move to a paid plan, and the price applies to the whole headcount: a company with 21 employees pays for 21 people; the first 20 do not stay free. We write this openly up front so that crossing the threshold does not produce a surprise invoice, and you are notified before the change takes effect.
Is PillarRise a software company?
Partly — and the distinction matters. PillarRise is a management consultancy working in corporate governance, process design, financial analysis and performance management. What makes us different is that we do not leave that work to the traditional channels alone — reports, presentations, workshops — but solve it with software we build ourselves. In other words, software is not the product we are trying to sell; it is the instrument our consulting work runs on. Digital HR came about the same way: first we design the process, then we write the tool that runs it. That is why a rollout is not just switching screens on; we design the authorisation structure, the approval flow and the compliance decisions with you.
