Ananda Development Public Company Limited, a leader in condominium development near BTS stations in Thailand, is focused on creating new innovations to meet the needs of urban living in the digital age through the UrbanTech Ecosystem Support concept. Recently, the company has supported the Thai startup Nasket, promoting a convenient and comprehensive living experience in condominiums with just a simple 'scan of a barcode' for purchasing products and home cleaning services available 24/7. Additionally, there are many other supplementary services to keep up with the changing consumer behaviors today. This initiative will first be implemented in two projects: Ideo Q Siam-Ratchathewi and Ideo Q Chidlom-Phetburi, covering over 500 units, with plans to expand to all future Ananda projects.

          Mr. Chanont Ruangkritya, CEO and Managing Director of Ananda Development Public Company Limited stated that currently, most people in the capital prefer to live in condominiums rather than single-family homes due to the convenience of transportation and the abundance of amenities that align with modern lifestyles. Moreover, consumer behavior in the digital age has also changed, with almost everything now functioning online. Ananda is therefore committed to enhancing the quality of life for residents by integrating new innovations into its projects. Recently, the company has supported Thai startups because the concept of today's startups is to bring IT systems to solve problems in various industries that cannot be addressed by traditional processes. Nasket is a device invented by Thais to facilitate purchasing products from supermarkets, as well as other necessary services, such as calling for housekeepers or various types of craftsmen, all with just a barcode scan! Furthermore, Nasket is a Thai startup that has won two prestigious global design awards: the European Product Design Award and the International Design Awards (IDA) in the United States, marking it as the first Thai product to receive such accolades. These awards are given to support designers who are committed to creating beneficial designs with functions that simplify life.

          Nasket embodies the use of technology to support the UrbanTech Ecosystem concept, enhancing the quality of life and effectively addressing the lifestyles of urban dwellers with more convenient online shopping and home services. Even while living in a condominium, residents can purchase products available in department stores simply by scanning a barcode. Ananda will begin implementing this in two projects: Ideo Q Siam-Ratchathewi and Ideo Q Chidlom-Phetburi, covering over 500 units, with plans to expand to all future Ananda projects.

Nasket Scan is a device installed in homes, designed as a "smart home" platform that allows residents to order services directly through the device or by scanning a barcode, available 24/7, including:

  1. Supermarket: Scan to order various household items from all supermarkets across Bangkok in one order. Enjoy the convenience of ordering in the morning and receiving it the same evening at standard prices, delivered directly to your door, guaranteed quality just like shopping in-store.
  2. Bill Payment: Easily pay utility bills without waiting in line, whether for water or electricity, by scanning a barcode and choosing to pay through a bank account or credit card.
  3. In-home Services: Conveniently call for qualified craftsmen or housekeepers, making household tasks easier. This service connects with the Seekter application, allowing residents to specify a convenient time for service, with satisfaction guaranteed.
  4. News Services: Stay updated with daily news from reliable sources, keeping up with trends and situations, or choose to receive specific types of news you wish to follow.
  5. Video Calling: With technology that allows you to see and talk to visitors through Nasket, enhancing convenience and security, catering to modern living.

  7. QR Code Payments: Fast and easy payments using QR codes with no minimum amount and no fees, ensuring transaction security with e-Slips sent via email for every payment.

          Mr. Parin Songpracha, Founder and CEO of Nasket stated that the company has tested the device with Ananda's customers across several projects, receiving positive feedback that covers all customer needs, which gives the company confidence in installing this device and anticipates increased demand for it in the future.

          "Ananda remains committed to supporting and initiating innovations and new strategies, especially for Thai startups that develop technology to keep pace with the changes of the digital age. The real estate business must also adapt and continuously develop to meet customer demands as much as possible. Technology will be one of the primary tools that business leaders will choose to create differentiation in their products and services, providing diverse options for customers to lead in their respective industries," Mr. Chanont concluded.
