Attendance now feeds payroll automatically. See how the run works
Run every stage of employment in one place.
Kiko connects recruitment, attendance, payroll, performance and exits, so the same employee record follows a person from their first interview to their last day.

One platform, every stage of the lifecycle
Most HR stacks are a patchwork, and every handoff between them is a person being re-typed. Kiko keeps the record in one place.
Built for the teams who run it all
Attendance locks before the run, loss of pay flows in on its own, and every exception surfaces before anyone can approve. The run becomes a consequence of the month rather than a separate exercise.
Six stage run
Inputs through published, nothing skipped
Maker checker
Whoever runs payroll cannot approve it
Statutory built in
PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS
Built to hold a real company
One workspace that stays fast at the size you are growing into, and a payroll run that finishes inside a coffee break rather than a working day.

Questions teams ask before switching
The ones that come up in almost every evaluation. If yours is not here, bring it to the demo and we will answer it on the call.
Ask us directlyHow long does it take to go live?
Most teams run their first payroll on Kiko in the second month. Week one is data migration and salary structures, week two is a parallel run against your existing provider, and you cut over once both agree.
Can you migrate the data we already have?
Yes. Employee records, salary structures, leave balances and historic payslips come in by CSV or direct export. Leave balances are usually the piece that needs a conversation, because carry forward and encashment rules differ by company.
Do you handle professional tax across states?
Yes. Professional tax is configured per state and applied from each employee's work location, so a Karnataka and a Maharashtra employee on the same run get their own slabs without anyone splitting the file.
What happens to our biometric attendance devices?
Punch data arrives through a device connector or a scheduled file import and lands in the same attendance register as web check ins. Payroll then reads one source rather than reconciling two.
Can managers see their team's salaries?
Not by default. Compensation visibility is granted explicitly per role. A manager can approve leave, run a one to one and write a review without a salary figure ever appearing on screen.
Do employees get their own login?
Yes, scoped to their own record. They see their leave balance, payslips, goals and company updates, and nothing belonging to anybody else. Admins get the full workspace separately.
Can we run in parallel before cutting over?
That is the path we recommend. Run a full cycle in Kiko alongside your current provider, compare the variance report line by line, and switch only once the two agree.
What happens if a payroll run is approved with a mistake?
An approved run is immutable, which is deliberate. Corrections flow through the next cycle as arrears, so the audit trail stays intact and no one quietly edits a month that has already been paid.
Is there an API?
Not yet. A REST API for employee, attendance and payroll records is on the roadmap rather than shipped. Exports in CSV and XLSX are available today from every list view.
Software that gets out of the way of your people.
HR software is usually cold, dense and grey. It does not have to be. Kiko is built to be the calmest tool in the company.
