What is Lattice?

Lattice keeps grinding on calibration, reviews, and comp — deepening its performance-management core.

Lattice is a performance-management suite whose recent work concentrates on three adjacent surfaces: review cycles, calibration, and compensation. The changelog reads as steady operator-facing refinement — conflict avoidance in calibration, a redesigned reviews UI split by role, and comp panels that pull in calibration context — rather than net-new product lines. Platform work (BambooHR tabular sync, expanded CSV/SFTP field types) is closing HRIS data-completeness gaps underneath it all.

What is Tanda?

Tanda ships small, constant WFM refinements across rostering, onboarding, and payroll

Tanda's AU/NZ workforce-management feed runs at very high cadence, with a steady stream of narrow, practical changes: onboarding (required parental-consent templates), rostering (new shift menu GA with activity codes and notes/files), payroll (Beam super bank-account scoping, payroll-tax report grouping), and compliance passthroughs like the Nurses Award wage phase. Settings are being consolidated into dedicated pages, including a Roster Validations page that gathers Roster Agent instructions and natural-language validations.

Lattice vs Tanda: editorial side-by-side

L0.0

Lattice keeps grinding on calibration, reviews, and comp — deepening its performance-management core.

◆ Current state

Lattice is a performance-management suite whose recent work concentrates on three adjacent surfaces: review cycles, calibration, and compensation. The changelog reads as steady operator-facing refinement — conflict avoidance in calibration, a redesigned reviews UI split by role, and comp panels that pull in calibration context — rather than net-new product lines. Platform work (BambooHR tabular sync, expanded CSV/SFTP field types) is closing HRIS data-completeness gaps underneath it all.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc is toward making the annual review-and-comp machinery less manual and less error-prone at scale: auto-generating calibration groups from org attributes, additive (opt-in) eligibility lists, and flagging participant conflicts before they're saved. This is the work of a product hardening a mature workflow for larger, more complex orgs rather than chasing a new category.

◆ Prediction

Expect the calibration and compensation surfaces to keep converging — more calibration signal (notes, tags, groups) surfaced directly inside comp decisions — and continued HRIS-sync breadth. Nothing in these entries points to a directional shift.

T6.3

Tanda ships small, constant WFM refinements across rostering, onboarding, and payroll

◆ Current state

Tanda's AU/NZ workforce-management feed runs at very high cadence, with a steady stream of narrow, practical changes: onboarding (required parental-consent templates), rostering (new shift menu GA with activity codes and notes/files), payroll (Beam super bank-account scoping, payroll-tax report grouping), and compliance passthroughs like the Nurses Award wage phase. Settings are being consolidated into dedicated pages, including a Roster Validations page that gathers Roster Agent instructions and natural-language validations.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is incremental hardening of an already-broad platform rather than new category bets — cleaner information architecture, more configurable onboarding and rostering, and better payroll reporting. The Roster Agent and natural-language roster validations hint at an AI layer forming underneath, though these releases only relocate and expose it rather than launch it.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued high-frequency polish across rostering, onboarding, and payroll, plus more surfacing of the Roster Agent / natural-language validation capabilities as they mature. Regulatory-award updates will keep appearing as AU/NZ compliance requires.
