Tanda connector

Use your Tanda data for reporting, automation and AI.

Data Panda pulls your Tanda rosters, timesheets, leave and award-driven pay rates into the same warehouse as your sales, finance and operations data. From one place we turn it into dashboards, workflows and apps that operations, finance and HR use during the week, not just the morning the pay run is cut.

About Tanda

Workforce management built for Australian award rules.

Tanda was founded in 2012 in Brisbane by Alex Ghiculescu, Tasmin Trezise, Josh Cameron and Jake Phillpot, and grew out of the founders' own struggle to manage hourly staff at a university bar. The platform now runs across hospitality, quick-service restaurants and franchises, retail, pharmacy, healthcare, childcare and clubs, with customers including Starbucks Australia, Domino's franchisees, Bunnings, Ramsay Health Care and Sushi Sushi. The company is headquartered in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, and positions itself as an independent Australian-owned business.

The product covers the full workforce-management lifecycle for Australian employers: rostering with live cost visibility, time-and-attendance with mobile clock-in, kiosk and GPS check-in, shift swapping, leave management, an award-interpretation engine that prices shifts against the relevant Modern Award, and an HR layer covering onboarding, performance reviews and applicant tracking through Tanda Hire. Tanda either runs its own pay run via Tanda Payroll with Single Touch Payroll filing, or pushes approved timesheets into Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, Employment Hero, ADP, Reckon, Sage, KeyPay and a long list of other AU payroll systems. POS integrations with Lightspeed, Square, Impos, Idealpos, Revel, Bepoz and others feed live revenue into the rostering screen.

For finance, operations and HR, Tanda is the source of truth for who worked which shift, where, under which award and at what cost. The built-in reports cover the day-to-day roster manager view well. The questions that sit across sites, revenue and the P and L (true labour cost as a share of revenue per site, award-driven overtime trends per team, leave liability against budget, break and shift-rule compliance per location) need the Tanda data joined to point-of-sale, ERP and finance data. Our connector pulls employees, locations, teams, rosters, shifts, timesheets, leave, award tags and pay-run output into the warehouse so those joins stop being a weekly copy-paste between exports.

Ideas

What you can automate with Tanda.

Pair with Xero

Drop approved timesheets straight into the Xero pay run

Approved Tanda timesheets feed directly into the Xero pay run with the right earnings categories, leave types and on-costs per employee, instead of a CSV that someone re-formats the morning of payroll. Award-driven overtime and penalty hours are already priced in Tanda, so finance sees variances against the budget per location the moment the timesheet is approved, not after the run is finalised.

Pair with QuickBooks Online

Sync timesheets and labour cost into QuickBooks Online

Tanda timesheets, leave and on-costs feed QuickBooks Online so the wage line in the P and L matches the schedule that ran, per location and per cost centre. Finance closes the month against the same numbers operations saw on the day, instead of reconciling two truths a fortnight after the pay run.

Pair with Exact Online

Reconcile Tanda labour cost in Exact Online by location

Wage and overtime data from Tanda lands in Exact Online against the right cost centre and project per location, so the labour line in the monthly P and L is split the way operations runs the business. Variances against budget surface per location and per week, not as one aggregated number at month-end.

Pair with Slack

Push the right shift alerts into the right Slack channel

No-shows, open shifts past their fill window, overtime tipping over the weekly cap, missed breaks under the relevant Modern Award and a manager pending more than three timesheet approvals in Tanda push the right Slack messages to the right channel. The store manager fixes a roster gap before the lunch rush, instead of hearing about it at the close-out review.

Pair with HubSpot

Tie Tanda staffing to HubSpot service load

Booked appointments, deal volume and ticket load from HubSpot land next to Tanda rosters and timesheets, so service-led teams see whether the people on shift match the work coming in. The roster gets sized against the actual sales and service pipeline per week, not against last quarter's gut feel.

Pair with monday.com

Sync Tanda leave and availability into monday.com plans

Approved leave, training blocks and unavailability from Tanda feed monday.com boards so project leads see who is on the floor for the week before they commit to a delivery date. Project plans stop slipping because someone forgot the half of the team on annual leave during the school holidays.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Who owns the data?

You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.

How fresh is the data?

Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.

Do I need a warehouse already?

No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.
