When I set up my foundation, I struggled finding a People system small enough, powerful enough, and affordable enough to fit. So I built one. For small business owners, startups, family-run firms, and non-profits still managing their people on Excel and paper ledgers in an age of AI and automation.

Onboarding to offboarding, with everything in between.
Every employee in one record: identity, role, contract, and full change history. Sensitive details sit in a separate, encrypted vault.
Functions, departments, and classes, with functional and reporting org charts you reshape as you grow.
Configurable leave types with accrual, carry forward, and encashment, on work and holiday calendars that fit your week.
Punch in and out, log corrections, and keep a clean attendance history for every person.
A full compensation history per employee, and a monthly run you review as a draft before you post it.
A secure document vault, plus branded letters and payslips generated on your own letterhead in one click.
Guided intake with forms, inductions, and signatures that flow straight into the new joiner's task list.
A structured exit flow, so nothing is missed when someone leaves.
Reviews captured against each employee and surfaced in the manager's team view.
A personal task inbox for everyone, with reminders over In App, Email, and WhatsApp.
Employees manage themselves and managers see their teams, with a Master, HR, Manager, and Employee hierarchy that keeps access right.
Theme the whole app to your brand, set regional defaults, and manage calendars and policies in one place.
Most tools force one rigid leave model on everyone. People lets you shape it: your types, your rules, your week, with balances that look after themselves.
Payroll is too important to post blind. People prepares each month as a draft you review, compare, and correct, so nothing is final until you say so.
Stop rewriting the same letters. People builds formatted, branded PDFs straight from your data, consistent every time and ready in a click.
The details that make People work the way an organisation actually runs.
Magic link by email, and employee activation by date of birth. No passwords to manage.
Master, HR, Manager, and Employee, each seeing only what they should, with a View As preview.
Give an outsourced HR partner or a shared manager precise, limited access.
Download a tailored Excel template, upload your people, review, and commit. Duplicates handled.
Notifications and reminders over In App, Email, and WhatsApp.
Your colours across the whole interface, and on every document you generate.
Headcount, gender split, tenure, and class breakdowns on your dashboard.
Sensible local defaults out of the box, fully configurable per organisation.
Whether you run a startup, a small business, or a non-profit, People gives you the full view: employees, managers, HR, and the organisation itself. Each treated as first-class, not one favoured.
People is built around roles, so the right person has the right access, without anyone becoming a bottleneck or seeing more than they need.
I have used dozens of HR systems as an employee, procured several for the organisations I worked for, and lived through every category of pain they create. People by Kahloon is the one I always wished existed: simple, complete, and powerful enough for a small team, and serious enough to grow with them.
Everything about an employee lives in one place, and the most sensitive parts are protected and logged. Nothing is hidden from the people who should see it, and nothing leaks to those who should not.
People holds identities, salaries, and documents. It runs on Microsoft Azure in the United States, encrypted at every layer, isolated for every organisation, and logged on every access.
Hosted entirely on Azure in the United States (West US 3). Your records, documents, and backups stay in region.
HTTPS in transit, encrypted on disk at rest. Nothing is ever stored in plain form.
National IDs and bank details are individually encrypted with a dedicated key vault, unreadable even at the database.
Enforced at the database, not just the app. One organisation can never reach another's data.
Sensitive access is restricted to the right roles and recorded in a full audit trail.
Our systems authenticate with managed identities, so no secrets sit inside the application.
Sign in is by one time magic link, with employee activation by date of birth, so there are no passwords sitting in a database to leak.
Point-in-time recovery within the retention window, kept in the same US region as your live data.
