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.

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 vs Totem: editorial side-by-side

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.

T0.0

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.
