What Sektorsoft does

Sektorsoft is a privately-held Turkish vertical software company founded in 1997 and headquartered in Istanbul's Bakırköy district, with an R&D subsidiary located inside Yıldız Technical University Teknopark. The company develops enterprise software for three tightly-defined Turkish market niches: (1) newspaper classified ad management through SİS2010, deployed at major national newspapers including Hürriyet, Sabah, Posta, Habertürk, and Milliyet; (2) serial classified ad agency operations through AJANS2000, holding approvals from all Turkish national newspapers and used by over 200 agencies; and (3) technology park and technology transfer office administration through ARGEPORTAL and TTO-BYS, respectively covering 45 of Turkey's teknoparks (managing 3,500 entrepreneur firms) and 22 university TTOs.

The underlying technology stack is Windows-based desktop (.NET) for the publishing products and web-based platforms for the teknopark and TTO systems, with native integrations to QuarkXPress, Adobe InDesign, SAP, PDKS attendance systems, and the Turkish Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology's Ar-Ge web portal. ARGEPORTAL and TTO-BYS encode regulatory compliance with Turkish laws 4691 and 6170, including automatic tax exemption report generation and direct ministry data transfer. The product portfolio is complemented by WEBSERİ (web-based ad intake form) and SEKTORSOFT CMS, plus professional services for custom software development, project consulting, and data mining.

Sektorsoft operates a direct enterprise sales model with no public pricing, targeting customers through a demo request form on its website and Turkish-language SEO. Revenue is generated through one-time software licensing plus custom development and consulting engagements. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external investment, employs 11-50 people, and operates exclusively within Turkey.

Core offering

Sektorsoft develops, licenses and supports industry-specific business software for three Turkish verticals: newspaper classified advertisement operations (AJANS2000/SİS2010), technology development zone / teknopark operations (ARGEPORTAL), and university technology transfer office management (TTO-BYS). It also provides custom software development, consulting, integration and data mining services around these installed bases.

Product overview

Sektorsoft offers a portfolio of vertical software solutions organized into three core product lines and supporting services. The AJANS2000 for Windows and SİS2010 for Windows products target newspaper classified advertisement workflows — the former serving serial ad agencies (handling ad intake, billing, newspaper integration, and fax transmission), while the latter serves newspaper advertising departments (covering full operations from ad intake through press preparation with QuarkXPress/InDesign integration). The WEBSERİ web-based ad form and SEKTORSOFT CMS complement these as web-facing modules, enabling online ad submissions and website content management. A second major line, ARGEPORTAL, is a comprehensive information management system for technology parks (Teknoparks), managing entrepreneur firms, projects, personnel with PDKS integration, government reporting, and exemption reports — functioning as a unified platform with multiple submodules. The third line, the TTO Bilgi Yönetim Sistemi, is a web-based platform for Technology Transfer Offices covering institution/company databases, expert management, event/project/IP rights management, budget management, and self-service portals, also organized as a platform with numerous sub-modules. Beyond software products, Sektorsoft provides custom software development, project consulting, and data mining services. The portfolio thus consists of three distinct vertical platforms with domain-specific modules, supplemented by two web-facing tools and three professional service offerings.

Emerging players

• Kolaybi: Turkish all-in-one SaaS for SMBs covering accounting, HR, and e-commerce workflows. Comparable as a Turkish vertical SaaS vendor monetizing compliance-heavy SMB workflows via subscription, contrasting with Sektorsoft's on-prem legacy model.
• Paraşüt: Turkey-focused cloud accounting and SMB financial management SaaS. Comparable as a Turkish-vertical, subscription-pricing software company targeting regulated SMB workflows, but serving a different vertical (accounting) and operating on a modern cloud stack versus Sektorsoft's legacy desktop base.

Direct peers

• Workcube: Turkish enterprise software vendor offering ERP, HR, and industry-specific solutions. Comparable as a Turkish-headquartered vertical SaaS business serving multiple regulated industries with on-prem and cloud deployments.
• Uyum Yazılım: Turkish publicly listed software company providing retail, ERP, and e-invoice/e-ledger platforms to enterprises in Turkey. Comparable as a similarly sized, Turkish-domestic vertical software vendor with regulatory-integrated offerings for specific industries.
• Mikro Yazılım: Long-standing Turkish accounting and ERP software company (now part of the Logo group). Comparable as a Turkey-focused vertical SaaS/legacy software business serving regulated SMB workflows with on-prem-style deployments and deep local compliance customization.

Broad incumbents

• Logo Yazılım: Turkey's largest publicly listed vertical/business software company, providing ERP and accounting platforms to Turkish SMEs and enterprises. Comparable as a Turkish-headquartered, founder-era software vendor that scaled from niche B2B workflows to a broad enterprise software portfolio.
