STAMPEDE creates 11,000 free business pages to bring Singapore’s AI push to local F&B operators

Hawkers, cafés and restaurants can claim their pages and set up branded loyalty and referral programmes at no upfront cost


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 July 2026 – As Singapore commits more than S$1 billion to artificial intelligence research and talent development from 2025 to 2030, homegrown loyalty platform STAMPEDE is helping smaller F&B businesses benefit from AI without requiring owners to learn complex tools or hire dedicated marketing teams.

STAMPEDE has created more than 11,000 free, claimable business pages for F&B establishments across Singapore. The pages give hawkers, cafés, restaurants and small chains a digital starting point where customers can find key business information, including location, ratings and outlet details.

Owners can claim their page for free, set up a fully branded digital loyalty programme and review the system before deciding whether to activate a paid plan.

The initiative comes as Singapore’s F&B sector faces continued pressure. Between 1 January and 23 October 2025, 2,431 retail food establishments have closed. Of these, 63% had been registered for five years or less, while 82% of that group had never recorded a profit in their annual tax declarations.

Against this backdrop, STAMPEDE is focusing on an area that operators can influence directly: whether customers return, stay rewarded and recommend the business to others.

“Singapore is investing heavily in AI, and that’s a real opportunity, but a hawker or café owner shouldn’t need to become an AI expert to benefit from it,” said Wilson Komala, Founder of STAMPEDE.

“At the end of the day, F&B owners just want customers coming back and bringing their friends. The technology should work quietly in the background, turning everyday customer activity into simple actions, not another dashboard to check or skill for the owners to learn,” Wilson added.

Customers can join a participating outlet’s loyalty programme by scanning a QR code through their phone browser, signing up in under 30 seconds without downloading an application, while staff can issue stamps using an ordinary phone camera with no additional hardware required.

The platform combines digital stamp cards, referral rewards, coupons, customer data and AI-driven retention, which are automated campaigns that learn from customer behaviour to reach the right person at the right time, from win-back messages to birthday rewards. A weekly AI report then explains what happened and what to do next, in plain language.

Early results from four Singapore F&B brands show how this translates into measurable customer activity. In under four months, OMMA Chicken Soup, CHA MULAN, LICKERS and Shang Cha collectively gained more than 16,000 loyalty members, generated over 1,500 completed referrals and recorded more than 4,600 coupon redemptions across 21 outlets.

OMMA Chicken Soup and CHA MULAN, which share common founders and run a combined 16 outlets, together gained more than 14,000 loyalty members and generated over 1,200 referrals.

“In the past, my members could not be rewarded when they referred friends. Now I can reward them for bringing new paying customers to my stores,” said Josiah Tan, Co-founder of OMMA Chicken Soup and CHA MULAN.

Neighbourhood ice cream brand LICKERS gained more than 2,000 loyalty members and over 260 referrals across its outlets.

“Switching from paper loyalty cards to STAMPEDE has been a massive upgrade. The standout feature has been the flash vouchers, as they give customers an instant perk that keeps them coming back, while giving us a seamless way to drive foot traffic. It’s the most frictionless loyalty system we’ve used,” said Alicia, Owner of LICKERS.

Shang Cha, a tea brand that discovered STAMPEDE through its online directory and self-onboarded without speaking to the team, put the platform’s AI-driven retention to the test.

“We turned off STAMPEDE’s automated messages for a week as a test, and our returning customers dropped by about 30%. We turned it back on immediately and haven’t touched it since. It’s become an essential part of how we keep customers coming back,” said Dillon, Co-founder of Shang Cha.

Businesses can claim their STAMPEDE page and set up a fully branded loyalty programme with their own business name, logo and colours for free. Payment begins only when the programme is activated, starting at S$50 per outlet per month on the Growth plan.

A fisherwoman’s new life along a revived Yangtze

MA’ANSHAN, China, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from chinadaily.com.cn:

For 24 years, the Yangtze River was more than a waterway for Chen Lanxiang; it was her home, her workplace, and the center of her life.

Married in 1995, Chen, known locally as San Jie, or “third sister”, spent more than two decades living aboard a modest fishing boat moored at Xuejiawa on the eastern bank of the Yangtze in Ma’anshan, Central China’s Anhui province.

“We lived a hard life on the boat, enduring scorching summers and freezing winters,” Chen recalled.

Her days often began long before dawn. Rising at 1 or 2 am, she and her husband cast their nets in the darkness, then hurried to deliver the night’s catch to market vendors by 5 am. Every day depended on the weather, the river, and a little luck.

Life became even harder as the Yangtze’s ecology deteriorated.

At the time, Xuejiawa’s shoreline was crowded with more than 200 fishing boats, illegal docks, shantytowns, polluting factories, and piles of solid waste. More than 50 fishing families squeezed out a living there as the once-clear waters became increasingly polluted.

“The fish kept getting smaller and fewer,” Chen said. “Sometimes there were hardly any left to catch.”

Years of overfishing, coupled with pollution and intensive shoreline development, had taken a heavy toll on the Yangtze’s ecosystem. Once home to abundant aquatic life, the river saw fish resources decline sharply.

To reverse the ecological decline, China launched a landmark 10-year fishing ban across key waters of the Yangtze River Basin. Fully implemented in 2021, the ban aimed to allow fish populations to recover, restore biodiversity and safeguard the long-term ecological health of China’s longest river. The initiative also included resettlement and employment support programs to help fishermen transition to new careers.

For Chen, the transition began even earlier.

In May 2019, Anhui province launched a fisherman resettlement initiative as part of its efforts to protect the Yangtze. Xuejiawa became one of the first places to begin the transformation.

Leaving the river, however, was one of the hardest decisions she had ever faced.

“I really couldn’t bear to leave,” she said. “We had no other skills and didn’t know how we would survive on land.”

Her husband initially refused to sign the resettlement agreement. It was only after repeated visits from local officials — who explained the policies, promised employment support, arranged for their children to attend nearby schools, and secured retirement pensions — that the family finally decided to take the leap.

“Today, each retired fisherman receives a monthly pension of 530 to 590 yuan (about $75 to $85), providing a basic safety net as they begin life ashore,” she said.

The decision to leave her fishing boat behind opened the door to an entirely new life.

With government support, her family moved into a new apartment, replacing their cramped boat cabin with a real home complete with separate rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

“My life has changed dramatically since settling ashore,” she said with a smile. “I now work regular hours from 8 am to 5 pm. After dinner, I can go downstairs for a walk or dance in the square. We no longer worry about storms or strong winds.”

Leaving fishing also led Chen to discover a new calling.

Supported by rent-free business premises for five years and a fully renovated office, she established the “San Guniang” (Third Sister) Labor Service Company.

Now serving as its general manager, Chen oversees teams responsible for market cleaning, road sanitation, and landscaping maintenance. Over the past five years, the company has helped many former fishermen build stable new livelihoods while distributing a total of 900,000 yuan ($133,000) in dividends to its members.

“At first, I felt lost,” she said. “But, by working together, our lives have steadily improved. I even bought my own apartment and built a real home. Now I feel hopeful about the future.”

The river itself has undergone an equally remarkable transformation.

Today, water quality in the Ma’anshan section of the Yangtze has consistently reached Class II standards. Fish populations have rebounded. The polluted banks of Xuejiawa, once lined with illegal docks and factories, have been transformed into a scenic ecological park that attracts visitors from across the region.

Where Chen once tied up her fishing boat, tourists now stop to admire sweeping river views.

Today, Chen protects the river that once sustained her.

As president of the Yushan Branch of the Ma’anshan Civilian Enterprise River Chief Federation, she patrols the Jiuhua Village embankment with fellow former fishermen, helping safeguard the Yangtze River and promote the fishing ban.

“We fishermen have depended on this river for generations,” she said. “Even though we no longer fish, our emotional bond with it has never changed. It is our responsibility to protect our mother river. We also encourage people to respect the fishing ban and discourage illegal fishing.”

Looking ahead, Chen hopes the next generation will cherish the river’s recovery while making use of its restored abundance responsibly.

“The fish are multiplying rapidly now,” she said. “When the 10-year fishing ban eventually ends, I hope our children will be able to fish again under scientific management and government guidance. I think that would be the best future for both the river and the people who depend on it.”

Thai Travel YouTuber Hlun Solo Found Dead in Georgia After Weeks of Uncertainty

A picture of Hlon Solo from his Instagram

Thai travel YouTuber Hlun Solo has died in Georgia after disappearing during a solo trip earlier this month, Thai authorities confirmed on 29 July.

Known online as Hlun Solo, Bowornthat built a loyal following by documenting his solo travels around the world. His YouTube channel has nearly one million subscribers.

Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs identified the content creator as Bowornthat Pengsuk, also reported as Bavorntat Pengsook, and said it is working with the Royal Thai Embassy in Ankara and Georgian authorities to return his body to Thailand for funeral rites.

The confirmation came more than two weeks after Bowornthat’s family lost contact with the 27-year-old while he was travelling alone in Georgia to film content for his popular travel channel. His disappearance prompted a public search led by relatives, fellow content creators and thousands of followers.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Jaithai Upakaranitikaset said embassy officials travelled to Georgia and met with local authorities, who confirmed Bowornthat’s identity, according to Thai media. The embassy has informed his family and will continue assisting them while Georgian authorities investigate the case.

Authorities have not released the cause of death.

Georgian news outlet Civil.ge reported that police found Bowornthat dead in a hotel room in the capital, Tbilisi. Authorities have opened a criminal investigation into possible “incitement to suicide,” a provision Georgian police commonly use when someone dies under unclear circumstances while investigators determine the cause of death. Opening the case does not mean police have concluded that suicide caused his death.

Investigations are Ongoing

However, the timeline surrounding the case remains unclear.

OC Media reported that authorities found Bowornthat’s body on 14 July, just one day after his family last contacted him, but did not publicly confirm his death until 29 July.

During that time, Bowornthat’s family continued searching for him. On 28 July, his brother, who uses the Facebook name Klose Mos, appealed for information on social media, saying the family had been unable to contact him since 13 July by phone or through any online platform.

The Georgian also reported that the Thai Embassy in Ankara continued posting updates about efforts to locate the missing traveller just hours before Georgian authorities confirmed his death. It remains unclear when Georgian authorities identified Bowornthat or when they notified Thai officials and his family.

Another Thai influencer first announced Bowornthat’s death on social media on 29 July after coordinating with his brother and police in Georgia. The influencer said the family had given permission to share the news publicly so volunteer search efforts could end.

Fans Across Laos Mourn Hlun Solo

The news also hit social media in Laos, where Hlun Solo had built a large fan base through his travel videos. Dozens of Lao social media users shared tributes after the confirmation of his death, with many expressing disbelief. Some wrote, “Tell me this is fake news,” while others said they could not accept that a creator they had followed for years had died under such tragic circumstances.

Georgian authorities continue to investigate the case and have not said when they expect to release further findings.

OTIC Hearing Unveils New Audiological Milestones In Hong Kong: Launching The Award-Winning Oticon Zeal And The Pediatric Oticon Play SI Platforms


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 July 2026 – OTIC Hearing, the leading hearing care clinical network and sole distributor of Oticon A/S in Hong Kong, has announced the launch of two breakthrough hearing solutions: Oticon Zeal™ and Oticon Play SI™.

Developed to mimic natural brain sound processing, these platforms represent a major leap forward in treating hearing loss across all ages. Together, the Oticon Zeal and Oticon Play SI lines bring the next evolution of BrainHearing™ technology to Hong Kong. Headlining this release is the custom-molded Oticon Zeal, which recently won the 2026 Red Dot Design Award—one of the world’s most prestigious international seals of design quality and innovation. By introducing these dual systems, OTIC Hearing effortlessly bridges the gap between invisible aesthetics for image-conscious adults and robust learning support for developing children.

Oticon Zeal: Setting a New Standard for Invisible Hearing Technology

For many adults experiencing mild-to-moderate hearing impairment, the social stigma of traditional behind-the-ear devices remains a major deterrent to seeking intervention. Oticon Zeal rewrites this narrative with its NXT In-the-Ear (ITE) style.

Individually sculpted to fit deeply within the user’s ear canal, Oticon Zeal achieves absolute invisibility when viewed from a frontal profile, presenting an ultra-compact faceplate only when observed directly from the side. This is achieved via advanced 3D modeling and laser-sculpting technology, which integrates complex components into an exceptionally small shell without compromising on features.

Overcoming a historic limitation of invisible hearing aids, the frequent changing of tiny disposable batteries; Oticon Zeal introduces an integrated lithium-ion rechargeable power cell. The system delivers up to 20 hours of continuous battery life on a single charge. Every device pairs with a desktop SmartCharger that functions as a mobile power bank. For urgent situations, a fast-charging protocol provides four hours of operational power from a brief 15-minute charge.

Deep Neural Network 2.0 Processing

At the core of Oticon Zeal’s processing is an on-chip, second-generation AI engine. Driven by an updated Deep Neural Network (DNN) 2.0 and a SuddenSound Stabilizer, the processor scans and balances the surrounding soundscape hundreds of times per second.

Standard digital hearing systems often rely on narrow, directional microphones that isolate a single speaker while dampening peripheral noise. This artificial restriction deprives the brain of essential contextual audio, creating cognitive strain and mental fatigue.

In contrast, Oticon Zeal’s AI preserves a natural, 360-degree open soundscape. By suppressing sudden background noises by up to 12 decibels while actively enhancing speech clarity by up to 6 decibels, the platform allows the brain to naturally choose which sound source to focus on, even within high-volume environments like corporate meetings or crowded restaurants.

Oticon Play SI: Purpose-Built Pediatric Care for Growing Minds

Alongside the adult-focused Oticon Zeal, OTIC Hearing is introducing Oticon Play SI to deliver specialized auditory care tailored directly to the unique developmental requirements of growing children. The Oticon Play SI family is optimized to deliver a rich, high-fidelity sound stream essential for language acquisition, academic success, and social confidence.

Children live dynamic lives, moving rapidly from quiet homes to noisy classrooms and playgrounds. Oticon Play SI addresses this volatility by becoming the industry’s first pediatric family to combine a second-generation AI processing core with integrated 4D user-intent sensors.

These sensors track physical head movements, body activity levels, and localized acoustic shifts. The system automatically adjusts its processing parameters in real time, ensuring the child remains clearly connected to teacher instructions, parental guidance, and peer interactions.

To withstand childhood adventures, Oticon Play SI features an IP68-certified robust housing, offering maximum protection against dust, moisture, and debris. This fully sealed architecture safeguards delicate internal circuitry from sweat, rain, and accidental spills. Available in versatile miniRITE R and miniBTE R styles, the lineup offers a broad array of 12 expressive color choices, seven colored ear-hook options, and custom decorative stickers, empowering children to wear their devices with personal pride.

Advanced Digital Connectivity

To seamlessly interface with today’s digital environment, both Oticon Zeal and Oticon Play SI feature state-of-the-art streaming protocols. Utilizing advanced Bluetooth® LE Audio technology, both product families deliver low-energy direct audio streaming from smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart televisions, keeping users connected without draining device batteries.

TELETRAC NAVMAN LAUNCHES ENERGY HUB TO REDUCE COMPLEXITY ACROSS MIXED-ENERGY FLEETS

New TN360 solution unifies energy data, fuel card integration, and actionable insights to help businesses optimise performance and control costs

SYDNEY, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Teletrac Navman, a leading connected mobility platform for industries that manage vehicle and equipment assets, today announced the launch of Energy Hub, a new solution within its all-in-one fleet management platform TN360. Energy Hub is designed to provide businesses with a unified view of energy usage across mixed-energy fleets.  The solution combines electric vehicle (EV) charging visibility with traditional fuel data in a single platform, while supporting a broader range of alternative energy types beyond petrol and diesel.

As businesses continue to adopt mixed-energy fleets, managing energy usage across fleet management platforms, fuel card systems, and multiple charging sources, including home, depot, and public networks, is becoming increasingly difficult. With data often split across these systems, organisations lack a single, reliable view of energy usage across their operations.

Alain Samaha, Chief Executive Officer, Teletrac Navman, said: “Fleet operations are becoming increasingly complex as businesses manage the transition to mixed-energy environments. The challenge is no longer simply collecting information but bringing it together in a way that supports better operational decision-making.”

“Energy Hub helps businesses reduce fragmentation and gain clearer insights into energy performance, bringing these data points together into one platform, giving organizations a clearer, unified view of energy usage and enabling a more integrated, data-driven approach to fleet management.”

Real-time vehicle insights, including battery state of charge (SoC) and estimated remaining range, give managers a clearer understanding of vehicle readiness across EV and hybrid fleets. Building on Teletrac Navman’s existing telematics platform, Energy Hub supports configurable alerts and exception-based reporting that can identify overcharging, unusual fuel transactions and inefficient charging behaviour.

The solution centralizes fuel card transaction data from leading providers, enabling organizations to streamline reporting, reconcile spending and detect anomalies without storing sensitive card information. It also introduces EV charging reimbursement capabilities, ensuring business-related energy costs are accurately calculated and allocated using driver trip classification data. Together, these capabilities help organisations strengthen compliance, simplify audits and identify unnecessary expenditure across both charging and fuel activity.

Energy Hub’s dashboard provides fleet-wide visibility into energy consumption, transaction volumes, cost per kilowatt hour and overall spend. Fleet managers can analyse trends, monitor live charging status, track charging events and locate public charging infrastructure, providing the insights needed to optimise fleet performance and energy management.

The launch comes at a critical time for fleet-reliant organizations, including private fleets, local government and transport operators, where teams are under growing pressure to meet sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) targets. By improving visibility into energy usage and operational performance, Energy Hub makes it easier for organisations to align with these targets.

“As the industry evolves, visibility and integration will be critical to unlocking the full value of fleet data,” said Samaha.

“Energy Hub gives our customers a single, connected view of their energy ecosystem, helping them reduce costs, improve efficiency and navigate the transition to more sustainable operations with confidence.”

Energy Hub is now available within TN360 globally. Businesses interested in learning more are encouraged to contact Teletrac Navman for demonstrations, technical briefings or further information.
