Sprint 6, 2026 Planned Product Releases

This article details the status of Tanda's planned feature releases for sprint 6 of 2026. The enhancements below are anticipated to be released between 26 October and 18 December.

The statuses on this page are updated weekly. More regular updates are added to the Tanda Changelog as features are released.

Rosters

Product Area

Status

Roster demand change alerts: Managers will be notified when inputs to rostering (forecast demand, weather, etc.) have changed since a roster was created or published.

Planned

Unit-based data streams will show in roster stats (e.g. number of items sold, rather than revenue from items sold).

Planned

Managers can select a recommended or custom subset of eligible staff when publishing a claimable shift, rather than offering it to everyone available.

Planned

Minimum notice for shift swaps: Orgs can set a minimum number of days' notice required for swap requests.

Planned

Availability requests will support crossing midnight, so staff can enter availability like 10pm to 4am without splitting it across two days.

Planned

Roster performance improvements: Speeding up the roster overview, which can be slow for large orgs.

Planned

Staff supply and demand coverage, surfacing who is available to work versus how many staff are needed, across leave, availability and staff numbers. Continued from Sprint 5.

In Progress

Break management improvements, finishing off the break rule upgrades. Continued from Sprint 5.

In Progress (rollout in progress)

Demand data improvements, allowing calculated forecasts and manual manager edits to coexist. Continued from Sprint 5.

In Progress

HR

Product Area

Status

Performance Targets: Measure employees against job-relevant numbers within performance reviews, with a template library of targets that can be linked to reviews.

Planned

Documents get categories, and employees get a dedicated place to find documents visible to them in both the HR Hub and the mobile app.

Planned

Skills can be assessed and added to an employee's profile from a completed performance review.

Planned

Qualifications improvements: Better workflows for qualification approval, expiry and renewal, plus qualifications added to the bulk HR items importer.

Planned

Adds the "When would you like to use this template? (Onboarding, Updating employment conditions, or Both)" setting from contracts into Forms, Training and Surveys.

Planned

Training Goals for tracking employee progress toward goals or course completion. Continued from Sprint 5.

In Progress (rollout pending)

Proper rehiring, with employment periods so rehires are onboarded correctly, Long Service Leave can be checked properly, and ECS dates reflect actual employment history. Continued from Sprint 5.

In Progress

Hire

Product Area

Status

Managers will be able to text candidates and see replies all within the candidate's profile.

Planned

SMS notifications will also expand beyond candidate job stages to cover things like hire forms and availability.

Planned

For orgs running multiple brands across locations, each location can have its own careers page and branded emails, rather than sharing one across the org.

Planned

Payroll

Product Area

Status

Create a pay run in a single flow on the payroll/pay runs pages. Set the payment date, automatically pull in timesheets, include autopay employees, and skip employees with blocking errors from one screen, removing the need to separately export timesheets.

Planned

For hourly employees, or departments costed across multiple areas by a fixed percentage, you can set fixed percentage splits instead of splitting by hours worked.

Planned

To accommodate pay progression after a set period of service, a draft ECS will be scheduled for review when an employee hits a tenure milestone, rather than requiring manual updates.

Planned

An AI onboarding agent that helps employees enter their onboarding info, so more employees get through onboarding.

In Progress

New Zealand: Handling public holidays that fall on a weekend more accurately.

Planned

New Zealand: A specific contractor option in profiles, with the correct tax, ACC, and KiwiSaver treatment.

Planned

Benefits

Product Area

Status

Gift cards in Tanda Benefits: Employees will be able to pick a card, choose an amount, and receive the gift card by email.

Planned

Mobile App

Product Area

Status

Mobile app improvements: Continued work on performance, navigation, and design.
