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.
What is Totem?
B2B office-snack delivery refining its order-flow ergonomics for hybrid-work realities.
Totem is a France-based office-snack and grocery delivery service whose most recent visible product work centers on order flexibility for office managers — adjustment windows up to J-2 / J-3, holiday pause buttons, one-click reorder, and a quantity-per-headcount generator. The catalogue side is healthy with regular drops of new snacks and drinks. The product reads as a B2B SaaS supplemented by curated supply, not a pure marketplace.

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.

B2B office-snack delivery refining its order-flow ergonomics for hybrid-work realities.
◆ Current state
Totem is a France-based office-snack and grocery delivery service whose most recent visible product work centers on order flexibility for office managers — adjustment windows up to J-2 / J-3, holiday pause buttons, one-click reorder, and a quantity-per-headcount generator. The catalogue side is healthy with regular drops of new snacks and drinks. The product reads as a B2B SaaS supplemented by curated supply, not a pure marketplace.
◆ Where it's heading
Product investment is going into reducing the friction of weekly snack ordering for the people who run office logistics — fewer fields to fill, more forgiveness on cutoffs, fewer orphan UI elements. The available changelog window is narrow and dated, so the longer arc is harder to read; what is visible is consistent steady-state polish of an established workflow rather than directional change.
◆ Prediction
Available entries don't support a confident roadmap call. Continued ordering-flow polish and seasonal catalogue refreshes are the safe expectations; anything beyond that — international expansion, ESG/local-sourcing positioning, integrations with workplace platforms — would be speculation given the data on hand.
