What is Tanda?
Tanda grinds through payroll-compliance and award automation while pushing agentic rostering into mobile.
Tanda is shipping a dense stream of workforce-management updates centered on Australian/NZ payroll accuracy and award interpretation. Recent releases cluster around payroll plumbing (journal accounts on deduction templates, leave-type handling on payslips) and keeping managed award templates synced to Fair Work Commission determinations. A parallel track is closing the gap between web and mobile, with employment details, roster locking, and the Roster Agent all arriving in the app.
What is Horilla?
Horilla opens its 2.0 beta, then follows with major CVE security patches.
Horilla, the open-source HRMS, has two visible moves: a first beta of its 2.0 major version (October 2025), described as a significant milestone, and a subsequent round of major CVE security patches (January 2026).
Tanda vs Horilla: editorial side-by-side
Tanda
7.5HR
Tanda grinds through payroll-compliance and award automation while pushing agentic rostering into mobile.
◆ Current state
Tanda is shipping a dense stream of workforce-management updates centered on Australian/NZ payroll accuracy and award interpretation. Recent releases cluster around payroll plumbing (journal accounts on deduction templates, leave-type handling on payslips) and keeping managed award templates synced to Fair Work Commission determinations. A parallel track is closing the gap between web and mobile, with employment details, roster locking, and the Roster Agent all arriving in the app.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is heading two directions at once: deeper regulatory automation so admins don't hand-maintain award rates, and mobile parity so managers can run rosters from their phones. The Roster Agent's move into mobile — now handling break suggestions and weather-aware adjustments — signals Tanda is betting on conversational, assistive rostering rather than just digitizing forms.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued award-template maintenance keyed to Fair Work determinations, plus expansion of the Roster Agent's autonomous actions on mobile. The compliance cadence is reactive to regulator timelines, so its pace will track FWC activity rather than a fixed roadmap.
Horilla
0.0HR
Horilla opens its 2.0 beta, then follows with major CVE security patches.
◆ Current state
Horilla, the open-source HRMS, has two visible moves: a first beta of its 2.0 major version (October 2025), described as a significant milestone, and a subsequent round of major CVE security patches (January 2026).
◆ Where it's heading
The product is mid-transition to its 2.0 line while maintaining security on the current release — a maturation-and-harden pattern typical of a major-version runway.
◆ Prediction
Expect 2.0 to progress from beta toward a stable release, with continued security patching on the existing line in the meantime.
