Tanda is the best at rostering. It's not a Business OS.

Tanda's award interpretation engine is genuinely strong — probably the sharpest in AU for hospitality, retail, and healthcare rostering. But your business runs on more than rosters. You still need accounting, CRM, inventory, customer communications, BAS preparation, cash flow. Tanda leaves those to Xero + HubSpot + inventory tools. XIntelliSync brings workforce + everything else under one OS.

Per-employee per-module pricing compounds.

Tanda prices per employee, per module. Rostering + Timesheets is one bundle. Payroll is another. Leave management is another. A 20-person hospitality SMB easily runs $160–$260+/month before you add Xero ($78), HubSpot ($149), and inventory ($99). Real stack $500+/month AUD for workforce-plus-business tooling. XIntelliSync Growth is $297/mo flat with all of the above plus 100 AI agents.

Tanda rosters. XIntelliSync runs the whole business day.

A hospitality owner using Tanda opens 6 tools on a Friday: Tanda for the weekend roster, Xero for invoices, HubSpot for bookings, an inventory tool for stock, Slack for comms, Gmail for supplier emails. XIntelliSync is one OS — rosters sit next to invoices next to inventory next to customer communications, all sharing one data model, all verified by the same four Trust Stack systems.

Award interpretation on a pay run is one gate. We run 356+.

Tanda's award engine is great at one job — interpreting Modern Awards for a shift's pay rate. XIntelliSync's XGVS runs 356+ compliance gates across 34+ frameworks on every AI action. Award check, yes — plus STP Phase 2, BAS, GST Division 38, TPAR, Privacy Act APP 11, PCI-DSS, Essential 8, Peppol invoicing, AFSL for financial services, AUSTRAC for AML, and more. Different scope.

Rostering is one lane. You run seven.

Common questions about switching from Tanda.

What is the best Tanda alternative for Australian SMBs?+

XIntelliSync is the one-OS alternative. Tanda is deep on workforce — rostering, timeclocks, Fair Work award interpretation. But you still need accounting, CRM, inventory, and compliance. XIntelliSync brings workforce + accounting + CRM + inventory + payroll + 150+ AI agents under one OS with 34-framework AU compliance. Flat $97–$497/month AUD unlimited users.

Does XIntelliSync match Tanda's depth on Fair Work award interpretation?+

XIntelliSync runs a Fair Work 121+ modern award cross-check on every pay run via XGVS gate 157, citing the exact clause when it halts (e.g., Hospitality Industry (General) Award 2020 cl 4.3 for higher-duties classification). Tanda's dedicated award engine has a longer runtime in production and remains a sharper specialist tool for award-heavy industries. If rostering-specific award interpretation is mission-critical, Tanda may be worth keeping alongside XIntelliSync. For most AU SMBs, XIntelliSync's award check plus the other 33 frameworks is the better trade.

How does Tanda pricing compare to XIntelliSync?+

Tanda prices per-employee per-module. A 20-person SMB on Rostering + Timesheets runs ~$160/month, Payroll module another ~$100, then Xero ($78) + HubSpot ($149) + inventory ($99) for the rest of the business = $500+/month AUD. XIntelliSync Growth is $297/month flat, unlimited users, everything included — workforce + accounting + CRM + inventory + payroll + 100 AI agents.

Can I use Tanda alongside XIntelliSync?+

Yes. If Tanda's award engine is mission-critical for your hospitality or healthcare workforce, keep Tanda for rostering + time-and-attendance and use XIntelliSync for everything else (accounting, CRM, inventory, invoicing, BAS, CRM, communications, AI agents). XIntelliSync imports timesheet data for payroll preparation. Most AU SMBs starting fresh with XIntelliSync don't need Tanda — the built-in rostering agent + XGVS award check is sufficient for typical workloads.

Does XIntelliSync have biometric timeclocks?+

Not natively. Tanda's iPad-kiosk + fingerprint/photo verification hardware is a differentiator for shift-heavy businesses. XIntelliSync supports mobile clock-in via the app (GPS-verified) and integrates with BYO hardware. For a venue that needs kiosk-based biometric clocking, Tanda's hardware stays the right pick — pair it with XIntelliSync for the rest of the business.

What does XIntelliSync do that Tanda doesn't?+

Accounting + BAS + GST + TPAR preparation. CRM with deals, leads, pipeline. Inventory with stock and suppliers. 150+ specialised AI agents (Tanda's AI is scoped to shift suggestions). 4-system AI verification (Omega + Horizon + XAVS + XGVS — Tanda has none). 356+ compliance gates across 34+ frameworks (Tanda covers Fair Work + WHS). 22-industry 30-dim workflow depth. Full invoicing, quoting, customer communications, cash flow forecasting.

Can I migrate from Tanda to XIntelliSync?+

Yes. Export employee records, shift history, and pay data from Tanda as CSV. Import via XIntelliSync's onboarding wizard (under 60 minutes typical). Day one: rostering agent active, Fair Work award cross-check live, STP Phase 2 prep running, BAS draft started. Month-to-month on XIntelliSync, cancel anytime, first month 50% off.
