The ZanWave and Zanitor systems are integral to their offerings, facilitating automated management of janitorial services and consumable supplies.

This revenue structure aims to provide scalable solutions that adapt to clients' facility management needs, ensuring efficient service delivery and significant cost reductions in operational expenditures. Zan Compute plans to leverage its recent Seed funding raised in January 2019 to support the development of new products and expand its market presence. The company is currently designing enhanced versions of its occupancy sensors and AI systems, aiming for a release in late 2023. There are specific plans to penetrate additional markets in the Asia Pacific region by 2024, focusing on adapting solutions to local facility management challenges.

The funding will be utilized to bolster research and development efforts and to implement strategies for targeted market entry.
