What is Miter?

Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.

Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.

What is Tanda?

Tanda locks bank-detail edits to payroll staff and seals payslips against tampering.

Tanda's workforce and payroll platform shipped a run of payroll controls and HR integrations in a week. Managers can no longer edit employees' bank details, payroll officers can be limited to specific company files, and payslips now carry a QR seal that lenders can verify. It also added Word contract templates for AU and NZ, an ANCC police-check integration, and a notice on the Clerks Award working-from-home variation.

Miter vs Tanda: editorial side-by-side

M3.8

Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.

◆ Current state

Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.

◆ Where it's heading

The module list keeps growing outward from payroll into everything a contractor's back office touches, and the last two releases added the two things a platform needs that a payroll product does not: a spend module of its own and an open, unmetered API. Vote counts published against each feature show the roadmap is being run off customer demand, and the compliance work is concentrated where construction is most exposed — break rules, OSHA, prevailing rate calculations.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Spend module to keep filling out around Accounts Payable, and third-party integrations built on API 2.0 to start appearing in the Ecosystem section of the next digest.

T7.5

Tanda locks bank-detail edits to payroll staff and seals payslips against tampering.

◆ Current state

Tanda's workforce and payroll platform shipped a run of payroll controls and HR integrations in a week. Managers can no longer edit employees' bank details, payroll officers can be limited to specific company files, and payslips now carry a QR seal that lenders can verify. It also added Word contract templates for AU and NZ, an ANCC police-check integration, and a notice on the Clerks Award working-from-home variation.

◆ Where it's heading

Tanda Payroll is getting the access controls and fraud protections that larger and franchise employers expect, alongside steady award compliance updates. Hiring and onboarding keep gaining integrations, such as SMS in Hire and police checks.

◆ Prediction

Expect more permission scoping in payroll and further verification or compliance features built on the payslip seal.
