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 is shipping small, constantly, and most of this week's work is in reporting and payroll plumbing.
Tanda releases in a near-daily drip of narrow, well-scoped changes. The current cluster is dominated by reporting — custom reports can now be shared org-wide, columns and rows reorder and stay put, and a batch of new columns and filters landed across the payroll and rostering reports. Payroll gained unit-based earnings rates and a PAPDIS 1.1 export for UK pension providers, while the roster page got an admin toggle to hide unused features.

Remote

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
8.8HR
Tanda is shipping small, constantly, and most of this week's work is in reporting and payroll plumbing.
◆ Current state
Tanda releases in a near-daily drip of narrow, well-scoped changes. The current cluster is dominated by reporting — custom reports can now be shared org-wide, columns and rows reorder and stay put, and a batch of new columns and filters landed across the payroll and rostering reports. Payroll gained unit-based earnings rates and a PAPDIS 1.1 export for UK pension providers, while the roster page got an admin toggle to hide unused features.
◆ Where it's heading
The work is configuration depth rather than new surface: give admins switches, give reports structure, and cover country-specific payroll obligations as they come up. The UK pension export and the Australia-only SMS sender ID in the same week show a product widening regionally through compliance details, not through a single expansion push. The new roster layout is becoming the assumed baseline, since features are now being built only for it.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the same cadence — additional per-region payroll exports and further admin-level controls over what the new roster layout shows, with the older layout drifting further behind.
