What is Remote?
Remote layers on AI-assisted workflows and tightens admin controls while expanding contractor coverage country-by-country.
Recent activity is a steady stream of admin-tooling and compliance plumbing: clearer roles/permissions visibility on Team Overview, consolidated UI permissions in the admin panel, Canadian contractor verification fields, and discount queueing for pricing plans. Geographic expansion continues with Contractor of Record now covering Saudi Arabia and Bulgaria. The notable departure from the pattern is an expense submission flow that uses 'Remote AI' to auto-fill from receipts.
What is Tanda?
Tanda keeps closing the AU/NZ payroll loop — now MYOB journals and contractor pay.
Tanda is shipping steadily across payroll, rostering, and HR with a clear AU/NZ compliance focus. Recent moves add a MYOB accounting integration (after Xero), contractor classification inside payroll, under-18 super-fund warnings, a roster-publishing guardrail, and award wage-increase notices. The work is operational depth on an existing workflow rather than new territory.
Remote vs Tanda: editorial side-by-side
Remote
1.7HR
Remote layers on AI-assisted workflows and tightens admin controls while expanding contractor coverage country-by-country.
◆ Current state
Recent activity is a steady stream of admin-tooling and compliance plumbing: clearer roles/permissions visibility on Team Overview, consolidated UI permissions in the admin panel, Canadian contractor verification fields, and discount queueing for pricing plans. Geographic expansion continues with Contractor of Record now covering Saudi Arabia and Bulgaria. The notable departure from the pattern is an expense submission flow that uses 'Remote AI' to auto-fill from receipts.
◆ Where it's heading
Remote is moving along two parallel tracks: hardening the platform for enterprise buyers (SSO enforcement, granular permissions, audit visibility) and quietly introducing an AI brand inside operational flows. The country-by-country COR expansion is the same global-coverage motor that's defined Remote since launch — it's still the moat — but the AI-assisted expense submission is the first time AI shows up as a user-visible feature rather than back-office automation.
◆ Prediction
Expect Remote AI to expand into other repetitive HR flows next — onboarding document parsing, contract review, time-off request triage. Continued COR country additions will keep arriving roughly biweekly, and SSO enforcement signals more security-and-compliance feature work aimed at large-employer deals.
Tanda
7.5HR
Tanda keeps closing the AU/NZ payroll loop — now MYOB journals and contractor pay.
◆ Current state
Tanda is shipping steadily across payroll, rostering, and HR with a clear AU/NZ compliance focus. Recent moves add a MYOB accounting integration (after Xero), contractor classification inside payroll, under-18 super-fund warnings, a roster-publishing guardrail, and award wage-increase notices. The work is operational depth on an existing workflow rather than new territory.
◆ Where it's heading
Tanda is consolidating into an end-to-end workforce-to-payroll-to-accounting pipeline: time and roster data flows through payroll into Xero and now MYOB journals, while compliance guardrails (super reminders, PAYG/STP handling for contractors, award updates) cut manual risk. The pattern is closing gaps in the AU/NZ payroll workflow, not widening scope.
◆ Prediction
Expect more accounting-integration parity and compliance automation — likely additional award updates around the 30 June pay-period changes and continued rollout of the contractor and terminations features still in gradual release.
