Vendfun Introduces Nano-S: The Compact Self-Service Kiosk Transforming Hospitality Automation
KUALA LUMPUR — Vendfun Sdn Bhd has officially unveiled the Nano-S, an innovative, ultra-compact self-service kiosk engineered to maximize operational efficiency and elevate the hotel guest experience. Featured recently in Harian Metro, the Nano-S represents the fifth generation of check-in technology developed by Vendfun since 2020.
All-in-One Powerhouse for Premium Spaces
According to Vendfun Chief Executive Officer, Benny Wee, the Nano-S seamlessly integrates four critical hardware components into a single, space-saving unit:
- A detachable receipt printer
- An advanced passport and identity card scanner
- A secure credit/debit card payment terminal
- An automated room key card dispenser
“Nano-S is everything we believe self-service technology should be: compact, intuitive, and truly beneficial to both guests and hotel operators,” Wee stated. Its sleek, small-footprint design allows it to sit easily on narrow front-desk counters. This makes it a perfect solution for high-density, premium real estate markets like Singapore, where lobby space is at an absolute premium.
Built-In Smart Features & Global Compliance
The Nano-S is packed with proprietary technology designed to safeguard revenue and build guest loyalty:
- Automated Pre-Authorizations: The updated payment terminal supports temporary deposit holds, dramatically lowering the manual administrative burden on hotel staff while protecting operators from revenue loss.
- In-House 2-in-1 Document Scanner: Developed entirely in-house by Vendfun, the smart scanner accurately reads a vast array of international identity documents and passports from around the globe.
- STB EVA-Ready Certification: For the Singapore market, the Nano-S is certified as an E-Visitor Authentication (EVA)-Ready vendor under the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). This enables fully digital, seamless international visitor verification.
- Complementary Loyalty Program: Out of the box, the kiosk includes the ‘Vendfun Membership Solution’ at no extra cost, allowing hotels to effortlessly run loyalty initiatives (such as a “Stay 10 Nights, Get 1 Free” formula).
Driving Regional Hospitality Growth
With over 150 units already deployed across 12 states in Malaysia and five international markets—including the United States and Australia—Vendfun continues to scale its footprint. While currently being marketed aggressively to local hotels, the Nano-S is strategically scheduled to expand into the wider ASEAN hospitality market by the end of 2026.
