A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: AZ) has entered into a five-year strategic agreement valued at approximately $50 million with Carrefour Israel to deploy 4,000 smart carts across its store network. The deal, announced on April 6, 2026, also includes a broader collaboration spanning data, retail media and digital services. 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 Cust2Mate gains exclusive retail media and data monetization rights across the platform. This positions the company to capture recurring revenue from fast-growing global retail media and data markets while advancing large-scale adoption of smart cart technology. The smart carts, powered by AI, transform shopping carts into connected commerce platforms that enhance the in-store experience with personalized and rewarding journeys.
The deal underscores the growing importance of in-store digital transformation. Retail media, which allows brands to advertise to shoppers at the point of purchase, is a rapidly expanding sector. According to industry estimates, global retail media spending is expected to exceed $100 billion by 2026. By securing exclusive rights, A2Z Cust2Mate can generate ongoing revenue beyond the initial hardware sale.
Carrefour Israel, a subsidiary of the global retail giant, operates dozens of supermarkets across the country. The deployment of 4,000 smart carts is expected to cover a significant portion of its store network, providing real-time data on shopper behavior and decision-making. This data can help retailers optimize store operations, increase revenue, and mitigate loss.
A2Z Cust2Mate's smart cart platform is designed to be modular and state-of-the-art, enabling retailers to deploy the technology at scale. The company's technology connects retailers, brands, and shoppers, turning each shopping trip into a seamless, personalized experience.
