HERZLIYA, Israel, July 7, 2026 – Nayax Ltd., a global commerce enablement, payments, and loyalty platform, today announced a new AI layer in MoMa, its mobile management app for unattended and self-service operators, designed to help operators know what matters, make better decisions, and act faster from wherever they are.

Running an unattended or self-service business means making decisions without always being on site. Operators run leaner today, often acting not only as business owners but also as route planners, technicians, stock managers, and customer support, moving between locations to keep every machine, site, and transaction under control. Their challenge is turning the right data into decisions that maximize their time and bottom line, helping them grow efficiently and at scale.

That is the idea behind the new AI layer in MoMa. With new capabilities like the AI Assistant, Planogram AI Suggestions, and Visual Recognition, Nayax helps operators move from monitoring their business to knowing what matters most. It reflects Nayax’s focus on ease of doing business: giving operators the confidence to make better decisions and the ability to act on them.

Joshua Lloyd, a six-year Nayax customer who manages more than 200 vending machines across the United Kingdom with JDJ Vending Services Ltd, said Nayax gives him confidence without needing to carry every machine in his head all day.

“It helps me be a lot more present, even as a dad. I do not need to worry so much. I can just open my phone, see that all my machines are working, and go play with my son,” said Lloyd.

MoMa already helps operators manage their business from anywhere. From their phone, they can monitor sales and machine activity, manage inventory and planograms, update prices, process refunds, and handle remote actions across one machine or a full fleet. The new AI layer strengthens that operating flow: know, control, and act.

Operators can now know what is happening, with real-time AI insights across sales, machines, stock, and unusual activity. The MoMa AI Assistant answers questions in plain language from the operator’s own business data, so they can ask which machines are underperforming or why revenue dropped at a location, without building a report or digging through dashboards.

They can control decisions with AI-driven data. Planogram AI Suggestions uses machine-level sales data to recommend changes to product mix and placement, showing which products to swap, which slots to prioritize, and which no longer earn their space. Demand-based smart picklists help operators restock smarter and plan site visits around what machines actually need.

And they can act faster, with remote and bulk actions from price changes and restarts to refunds and firmware updates across the fleet. With the AI layer built in, operators act on the insights that matter.

Visual Recognition reduces the manual work of planogram setup: an operator photographs a machine and MoMa builds the planogram from the image, up to 5X faster than mapping it by hand. This makes it easy to add planograms and enrich the business data behind better decisions.

“Our customers run their businesses on their own time and capital, and our job is to make that simpler,” said Yair Nechmad, CEO and Co-Founder of Nayax. “Every feature we build starts with the same question: what does the operator need to run a better business? The new AI layer in MoMa is another step in that direction. It helps operators know what matters, control decisions with better data, and act faster from wherever they are.”

New Delhi, July 7: The Central Government is set to launch a new monthly Index of Services Production from July 14, aimed at providing a clearer picture of the performance and growth trends of India’s rapidly expanding services sector.

The new index will track changes in service-sector activity and provide timely data to policymakers, businesses, and researchers for better assessment of economic trends.

The services sector plays a crucial role in India’s economy, contributing significantly through industries such as information technology, finance, transport, communication, trade, and professional services. The introduction of a monthly index is expected to improve the monitoring of these activities and strengthen economic analysis.

Officials said the initiative will help capture the changing dynamics of the services economy and provide a more regular indicator of sectoral performance.

The launch reflects the government’s efforts to enhance the country’s statistical systems and provide more accurate, timely, and comprehensive economic data for planning and decision-making.

Bangkok, July 7: A significant archaeological discovery in Thailand has shed new light on the ancient cultural and trade links between India and Southeast Asia, with the recovery of two gold rings believed to be around 2,000 years old.

The rings were found during an excavation at the Don Yai Thong archaeological site in Phetchaburi province, along with human remains and other ancient artefacts, according to Thailand’s Fine Arts Department.

One of the gold rings features an inscription in the ancient Brahmi script, an early Indian writing system. Archaeologists have identified the inscription as “pusarakhitasa,” which is believed to refer to protection by Pushya, an auspicious constellation mentioned in Indian astronomical traditions.

The discovery has attracted attention from historians as it offers valuable clues about the movement of people, ideas, and trade across the Indian Ocean region more than two millennia ago.

The second ring, a plain gold band, was also recovered from the same burial site. Experts believe the jewellery may have belonged to an individual from an affluent section of ancient society.

The Don Yai Thong site, located about 130 kilometres southwest of Bangkok, has revealed several important artefacts, including human skeletons, pottery, bronze objects, and gold ornaments, suggesting the presence of an organised ancient settlement and ceremonial burial practices.

Archaeologists said the findings will help researchers better understand early maritime connections and cultural exchanges between the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.

The recovered artefacts are expected to be preserved and later displayed for the public as part of efforts to highlight Thailand’s rich archaeological heritage.
