What Shopsol does

Shopsol (샵솔) is a mobile-first HR and business management application built for small business owners (소상공인) in South Korea, operated by the corporate entity Wesop Co., Ltd. (주식회사 위솝) and led by representative director Kim Gyu-han (김규한). The company was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Mapo-gu, Seoul, with a working headcount of 1–10 employees.

The platform consolidates fragmented SMB back-office workflows into a single product: GPS-validated employee attendance tracking, automated salary calculation with Korean tax deduction handling, free digital pay slip distribution via KakaoTalk messenger, daily task checklists and work logs, inventory expiration date management for retail and food service operators, and a companion PC admin dashboard for bulk employee registration and multi-location workforce reporting. The product is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play for employee and manager access, with a web admin console at ceo.shop-sol.com for centralized employer controls.

Commercially, Shopsol operates as a subscription-based SaaS targeting Korean small business owners and franchise operators through a product-led growth motion, with self-service app onboarding and a dedicated pricing page (/price). Distribution leans on app store presence, Naver Blog content marketing, and user review/testimonial social proof. The company has no disclosed external funding, no institutional investors in the source data, and no publicly disclosed pricing tiers or revenue figures, indicating an early-stage, founder-financed operating posture.
