What is Tanda?
Tanda keeps automating the hiring and HR admin around Australian award compliance.
Tanda's recent output is dense and practical. Tanda Hire gained rule-based screening (required resumes, minimum age, auto-rejection on wrong answers). The HR side added skills tracking, a bulk document importer and shift-triggered HR items. Fair Work Commission decisions (SCHADS home care, junior rate phase-outs) are absorbed into managed award templates. Rostering gets steady mobile and manager conveniences.
What is Workyard?
Workyard is making itself the system of record for construction payroll, one rule at a time.
Workyard now covers time capture, overtime rule authoring, expense cards and accounting export for construction crews. The latest release shows accounting-system project numbers and team member IDs everywhere in the app and in search, pulled from whichever integration the admin picks. The September releases filled in the money side: plain-English overtime rules, any-US-bank card funding, in-place fixes for declined merchants and a Sage 100 Contractor export.

Tanda
7.5HR
Tanda keeps automating the hiring and HR admin around Australian award compliance.
◆ Current state
Tanda's recent output is dense and practical. Tanda Hire gained rule-based screening (required resumes, minimum age, auto-rejection on wrong answers). The HR side added skills tracking, a bulk document importer and shift-triggered HR items. Fair Work Commission decisions (SCHADS home care, junior rate phase-outs) are absorbed into managed award templates. Rostering gets steady mobile and manager conveniences.
◆ Where it's heading
Tanda is building out from workforce management into a full hire-to-roster platform, using automation rules to remove manual admin at each step. Keeping award templates current with FWC decisions remains a core advantage for its Australian base.
◆ Prediction
Expect skills data to start feeding rostering and Hire screening (for example, matching position requirements), along with continued template updates as the FWC changes phase in from December 2026.
Workyard
6.3HR
Workyard is making itself the system of record for construction payroll, one rule at a time.
◆ Current state
Workyard now covers time capture, overtime rule authoring, expense cards and accounting export for construction crews. The latest release shows accounting-system project numbers and team member IDs everywhere in the app and in search, pulled from whichever integration the admin picks. The September releases filled in the money side: plain-English overtime rules, any-US-bank card funding, in-place fixes for declined merchants and a Sage 100 Contractor export.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release removes a manual step between field data and the books. Job numbers now match payroll, declines get fixed on the transaction, and exports are scoped per team so prevailing-wage crews don't lock each other's records. Alongside this, the AI layer (Time Assistant, the natural-language overtime builder) is moving from admins to managers and from answering questions to drafting configuration.
◆ Prediction
The next likely release is more accounting-side mapping, such as cost codes or other IDs synced from integrations, since project numbers just became integration-driven and Sage export landed for expenses.
