What is Remote?

Remote layers on AI-assisted workflows and tightens admin controls while expanding contractor coverage country-by-country.

Recent activity is a steady stream of admin-tooling and compliance plumbing: clearer roles/permissions visibility on Team Overview, consolidated UI permissions in the admin panel, Canadian contractor verification fields, and discount queueing for pricing plans. Geographic expansion continues with Contractor of Record now covering Saudi Arabia and Bulgaria. The notable departure from the pattern is an expense submission flow that uses 'Remote AI' to auto-fill from receipts.

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.

Remote vs Tanda: editorial side-by-side

Remote logo1.7

Remote layers on AI-assisted workflows and tightens admin controls while expanding contractor coverage country-by-country.

◆ Current state

Recent activity is a steady stream of admin-tooling and compliance plumbing: clearer roles/permissions visibility on Team Overview, consolidated UI permissions in the admin panel, Canadian contractor verification fields, and discount queueing for pricing plans. Geographic expansion continues with Contractor of Record now covering Saudi Arabia and Bulgaria. The notable departure from the pattern is an expense submission flow that uses 'Remote AI' to auto-fill from receipts.

◆ Where it's heading

Remote is moving along two parallel tracks: hardening the platform for enterprise buyers (SSO enforcement, granular permissions, audit visibility) and quietly introducing an AI brand inside operational flows. The country-by-country COR expansion is the same global-coverage motor that's defined Remote since launch — it's still the moat — but the AI-assisted expense submission is the first time AI shows up as a user-visible feature rather than back-office automation.

◆ Prediction

Expect Remote AI to expand into other repetitive HR flows next — onboarding document parsing, contract review, time-off request triage. Continued COR country additions will keep arriving roughly biweekly, and SSO enforcement signals more security-and-compliance feature work aimed at large-employer deals.

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.
