The record

Product: Nestd describes itself as an operating system for student accommodation in Africa, combining registration, leases, NSFAS compliance, transport and an AI assistant.
Student registration: Students can register using a QR code or invite link, after which staff can approve their registration.
Leases: Nestd provides a customisable lease template, digital signing, and searchable storage for versioned agreements.
Compliance: The platform generates NSFAS-ready proof-of-residence PDFs and maintains occupancy and lease records for audits.
AI assistant: Nesta answers questions using live residence data and can surface pending approvals, expiring leases and available beds.
Transport: The transport module offers destination presets configured for each property.
Integrations: The Enterprise plan lists API access and integrations; the page does not name specific integrations.
Payments: Nestd says students do not pay through the platform because NSFAS pays the property directly.
Setup and support: Nestd says most residences can be live within a day; Enterprise includes dedicated onboarding and an account manager, while Professional includes priority support.
Known limitation: Uploading a customer-provided PDF lease is listed as being on the roadmap.
Intended customers: The plans target single-residence operators, established operators, and multi-property groups or purpose-built student accommodation providers.
Company: The site identifies Nestd as a Nisela Group Holdings company and says it is built in South Africa.
