Governance infrastructure for workforce systems
Smartplace connects disconnected workforce platforms and layers intelligent monitoring across them, catching compliance, payroll, and operational issues before they become failures.
Our products — Smartta, Ongiri, and Ledra Pay — bring the same governance infrastructure to regulated workforce compliance, labour-intensive operations, and payroll infrastructure.
Connect
Normalise data across workforce systems.
Monitor
Detect risk across operational decisions.
Prove
Record evidence for audit and action.
Credential mismatch detected
Worker scheduled for regulated shift without current evidence.
Payroll rule conflict
Award interpretation requires review before lodgement.
Margin variance surfaced
Charge rate mismatch against approved commercial rule.
Evidence ledger
Every decision links to the worker, rule, source system, approval path, and downstream outcome.
Thesis / 01
Regulated workforce organisations run across HRIS, rostering, time tracking, payroll, credentialing, finance, and care platforms. Each system may work correctly on its own. The risk appears in the decisions between them.
When rostering does not know who is credentialed, when time data does not reconcile with labour rules, when payroll receives ungoverned inputs, or when managers override systems without evidence, compliance failure becomes a governance failure.
01
Workforce data is fragmented across platforms, formats, policies, and operational workflows.
02
Compliance, payroll, and margin risk appear when decisions move between systems without control.
03
Smartplace monitors those decisions continuously and records the evidence behind every outcome.
Products / 02
Smartta, Ongiri, and Ledra Pay bring Smartplace infrastructure to different points in the workforce stack: compliance, operations, and payroll.
Continuous workforce compliance
Continuous compliance monitoring for regulated workforce operations. Built for aged care, healthcare, retail, BPO, and other regulated workforce environments.
The AI Workforce OS
Connect people, work, time, wage, payroll readiness, invoicing, and margin in one operating flow for labour-intensive businesses.
Global payroll through one API
Payroll infrastructure for platforms and builders. Compute, prove, and lodge payroll with rules, evidence chains, shadow runs, and API-first infrastructure.
Smartcore / 03
Smartcore connects workforce systems, normalises operational data, orchestrates governed AI, and records the evidence behind every decision.
Connector Gateway
Universal integration across HRIS, rostering, time tracking, payroll, credentialing, finance, and care systems — regardless of vendor or data model.
Governed AI Orchestration
Policy-aware agents operating within explicit autonomy levels, approval paths, and operational constraints.
Evidence Ledger
Immutable records of what happened, when, by whom, why it was allowed, and what downstream outcome it produced.
| Product | Market | Governed decision | Risk reduced |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smartta | Regulated workforce compliance | Can this worker, shift, credential, or override pass? | Compliance failure, unsafe staffing, audit exposure. |
| Ongiri | Labour-intensive operations | Did the right person do the right work for the right pay and charge? | Pay errors, underbilling, margin leakage. |
| Ledra Pay | Payroll infrastructure | Was payroll computed, proven, and lodged correctly? | Statutory failure, payroll miscalculation, audit failure. |
Smartta / 04
Smartta brings the Smartplace governance thesis directly into the operational reality of aged care, healthcare, retail, BPO, and other regulated workforce environments.
It monitors workforce decisions across disconnected systems, catches issues before they become failures, and records the evidence needed for audit, assurance, and operational control.
Aged care and healthcare
Credential checks, staffing rules, care obligations, and audit-ready evidence.
Retail and BPO
High-volume workforce decisions, manager overrides, time exceptions, and payroll risk.
Compliance teams
Continuous monitoring instead of point-in-time audits and spreadsheet reconciliation.
Ongiri / 05
Ongiri connects people, work, time, wage, payroll readiness, invoicing, and margin in one governed operating flow for labour-intensive businesses.
It answers the question every operator carries: did the right person do the right work for the right pay and charge — before pay errors, underbilling, and margin leakage compound.
People and work
The right person on the right work, with capability and availability in view.
Time and wage
Time reconciled against labour rules and payroll readiness — before payday, not after.
Invoice and margin
Pay and charge connected, so underbilling and margin leakage surface immediately.
Ledra Pay / 06
Ledra Pay is payroll infrastructure for platforms and builders: compute, prove, and lodge payroll with governed rules, evidence chains, and shadow runs.
Every run answers one governed question — was payroll computed, proven, and lodged correctly — reducing statutory failure, miscalculation, and audit exposure.
Compute
Gross-to-net computed against governed rules on every run.
Prove
Evidence chains and shadow runs show a payroll is correct before it goes live.
Lodge
Lodgement handled through the same API, with the evidence trail attached.
AI readiness / 07
Before organisations can deploy AI safely across workforce operations, they need visibility, normalised data, consistent processes, governance boundaries, and evidence of what happened.

Leadership / 08
Smartplace was founded by Aaron Ng, who has spent 20 years building enterprise workforce technology across Australia, Asia, the UK, the Middle East, and other global markets.
The same pattern kept emerging: organisations had sophisticated payroll engines, interpretation tools, time tracking platforms, and workforce systems. The technology often worked. The governance between those systems did not.
