Tanda is an Australian workforce management platform built specifically for businesses employing hourly workers under Modern Awards and enterprise agreements. With a specific focus on Fair Work requirements and Modern Award pay rates, Tanda customers are able to create more efficient rosters, improve compliance, and increase profitability. The platform covers rostering, time and attendance, award interpretation, payroll, and HR in a modular structure — with a dedicated compliance team that actively maintains and updates the award template library.

■ Key Features

• Industry-leading award interpretation: Tanda's Modern Award templates automate calculations from base rates through to the most complex employment conditions, including enterprise agreements and EBAs. Pay rates update automatically when Fair Work rulings change, including on staff birthdays.

• Roster compliance validation: Automatically flags compliance risks on the roster — including maximum hours breaches, break entitlements, and rostering conflicts with leave — before shifts are published.

• Time & attendance: GPS clock-ins, photo verification, PIN code, and kiosk options — with itemised award interpretation visible in real time during timesheet approval, so managers can see exactly what is driving wage costs.

• Payroll integration: Pre-calculated timesheets with award-interpreted gross wage data export directly to payroll — designed to cut payroll processing from hours to minutes. Supports Xero, MYOB, and other major payroll platforms, as well as Tanda's own payroll module.

• Labour cost analytics: Demand-driven rostering tools using historical sales, foot traffic, and other data to match staffing levels to actual business demand — with real-time visibility into labour costs versus sales across locations.
