Tanda ships steady workforce and AU-payroll features, plus a Shopify POS integration
Tanda is filling in workforce-management and Australian payroll details: onboarding reminders, bulk staff reactivation, digital parental consent for underage staff, a new Shopify POS integration, contractor super from external payables, STP finalisation preview improvements, a consecutive-days-off roster validation, and automatic application of the 2026-27 award wage increases and tax cut.
Factorial's feed is multilingual HR and ISO-compliance SEO content, not release notes
The tracked feed is Factorial's marketing blog, published across English, Spanish, and German. Recent entries are SEO how-tos on ISO 27001 certification, employee onboarding, labor contracts, and HR/payroll software selection — educational content rather than a product changelog, so the product state isn't observable here.
Tanda is filling in workforce-management and Australian payroll details: onboarding reminders, bulk staff reactivation, digital parental consent for underage staff, a new Shopify POS integration, contractor super from external payables, STP finalisation preview improvements, a consecutive-days-off roster validation, and automatic application of the 2026-27 award wage increases and tax cut.
The work clusters around compliance-heavy AU payroll and award interpretation (STP, super, tax tables, award templates) alongside incremental onboarding and rostering polish. Tanda is deepening its value for award-governed, shift-based employers rather than opening a new product line; the Shopify POS link is the one outward integration expansion.
Expect continued AU compliance automation (award updates, STP, super edge cases) and more POS/HR integrations. The availability-request consolidation is flagged as rolling out next. No directional pivot is visible.

Recent entries are SEO how-tos on ISO 27001 certification, employee onboarding, labor contracts, and HR/payroll software selection — educational content rather than a product changelog, so the product state isn't observable here.
Two content clusters stand out: information-security certification (ISO 27001 and its comparisons) and onboarding, hinting at the buyer concerns Factorial targets. Multilingual output signals a broad European SEO push, not a shipping cadence.
Expect continued multilingual HR and compliance content; a confident product prediction isn't possible until a real changelog feed replaces the marketing blog.
