Employee file management software is a secure platform where HR teams and managers can organize, store, and manage all employee documents and records. It centralizes everything from onboarding forms to performance reviews, making it easy to access, update, and share important files securely. With this system, you reduce paperwork, keep sensitive information protected, and ensure that your team always has the right documents at their fingertips.
Softr makes it easy to build employee file management software tailored to your organization’s HR processes. You can connect your existing data sources—such as Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets—and set up a platform where team members can log in, upload or download files, view their records, and complete forms, all in one secure place.
You don’t need any coding skills to get started. Use a template or build from scratch, customize the layout, set permissions for different roles, and brand it to match your company. It’s quick to launch, simple to maintain, and flexible if your HR needs change. This keeps everything organized and ensures compliance with company policies.
You can include a wide range of features in your employee file management software, depending on your company’s needs. Common features include:
\- Secure user logins – so HR staff and employees can access only their own files
\- Custom dashboards – to track onboarding progress, compliance, or document status
\- Forms – for collecting employee information, leave requests, or feedback
\- File sharing – allowing users to upload and download documents securely
\- Search and filters – to quickly find specific employee records or files
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to organize and display employee data
\- Comments or status updates – to keep records on document changes or notes
\- Notifications – to alert staff about missing or expiring documents
\- Permissions and roles – so only the right people can view or edit certain files
All these features can be built using Softr’s drag-and-drop tools, so you don’t need to code. If your HR processes change, it’s easy to update your platform anytime.
No coding is required. You can build your employee file management software entirely using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from the structure to user permissions can be customized without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple employees or entire departments within a single employee file management system. Each user will only see the files and information relevant to them, based on their login and role. This makes it easy for HR teams or managers to organize employee records and permissions, while keeping sensitive data secure and accessible only to the appropriate people.
Softr supports a wide range of data sources for managing employee records. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. It’s also possible to bring in employee data from other systems using the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one source. You can integrate multiple databases into the same employee file management app and combine data as needed—for example, pulling in employee contact info from Google Sheets and performance records from Airtable. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, so any updates in your app or source stay synced automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how users experience your employee file management software. You can tailor the layout, navigation, and content to match your organization’s needs. Each page or section can be shown or hidden based on who’s logged in, so each employee, manager, or HR staff member only sees what’s relevant to their role.
You can also set up different user roles—such as employee, HR admin, or manager—and define exactly what each role can view or edit. For example, employees may only see their own files, while HR can manage records for everyone. You can also create personalized dashboards and document views filtered by the logged-in user, keeping everything organized, secure, and efficient.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to import your employee records from another system to start using Softr for employee file management. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which are built into the platform and integrate seamlessly with your employee file management application.
If you do have existing data in systems like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or a SQL database, you can connect those too. You can also use the REST API connector to bring in employee data from other sources. Either way, you have complete control over how your files and records are organized and displayed in your employee file management software.
Yes, you can fully white-label your employee file management software in Softr. You can use your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and custom domain to make the platform feel like an extension of your organization. You can also remove all Softr branding, so your employees and HR team only see your company’s identity throughout the experience.
Yes, you can. Softr gives you a lot of flexibility to design and lay out your employee file management software just the way you want. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and the overall page structure to match your company’s brand. You can also organize how each page appears, select which blocks to add, and control what different users see when they log in.
To display your HR data, you can use different types of blocks depending on your needs:
\- Table blocks – to show structured data like employee directories, document lists, or onboarding checklists
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight employee profiles, department resources, or important documents
\- Detail View – to display individual employee records or personal dashboards
\- Forms – to collect information or manage file submissions
\- Charts – to visualize workforce insights
\- Calendar blocks – to track important dates or deadlines
If your needs change, it’s easy to update your setup directly in the visual builder.
Softr is built with security in mind. All data is encrypted both in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your employee management app is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. You have full control over who can access and edit employee files by configuring role-based permissions, managing users from your data source, setting visibility rules, and applying restrictions to safeguard sensitive HR data across your software.
If you connect to external data sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your employee data – it simply displays it live, based on your access settings. You’re always in control of your data and who can view or edit it.
Softr also follows best practices for authentication, access control, and platform monitoring to keep your employee information safe.
You can get started for free. Softr’s Free plan lets you publish one app with up to 10 app users and 2 user groups, and includes support for all standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more.
