A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: AZ) announced a five-year strategic agreement valued at approximately $50 million with Carrefour Israel to deploy 4,000 smart carts across its store network. The partnership extends beyond hardware deployment to include data, retail media, and digital services, positioning A2Z to capture recurring revenue from the expanding global retail media and data markets.
The rollout is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2026 and includes full delivery of hardware, software, infrastructure, and support. Under the agreement, A2Z receives exclusive retail media and data monetization rights across the platform, enabling the company to capitalize on fast-growing retail media and data markets while advancing large-scale adoption of smart cart technology.
Smart carts transform everyday shopping carts into AI-powered, connected commerce platforms that enhance the in-store experience. The platform helps retailers and brands grow revenue through targeted retail media and real-time shopper engagement at the moment purchase decisions are made. It delivers actionable, real-time data that provides full visibility into in-store shopper behavior and decision-making.
This deal underscores a broader trend of retailers investing in technology that bridges online and offline shopping experiences. Retail media networks have become a significant revenue stream for retailers, and A2Z’s smart cart platform offers a unique in-store point-of-purchase advertising opportunity. By integrating retail media and data monetization, the partnership aims to create a new revenue channel for Carrefour Israel while enhancing the shopping experience for customers.
The agreement also highlights the growing importance of data-driven retail strategies. A2Z’s technology provides retailers with insights into shopper behavior, enabling them to optimize store operations, increase revenue, and mitigate loss. The modular design of the smart cart platform allows for scalable deployment across chains, making it suitable for large-scale rollouts like the one planned with Carrefour Israel.
