A2Z Cust2Mate Lands $21M Smart Cart Deal with Israeli Retailer HaStock
A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. secures a five-year, $21 million agreement to deploy 2,000 AI-powered smart carts in three Israeli stores, highlighting the growing adoption of in-store retail technology.
A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: AZ), a global leader in smart retail technology, announced a significant agreement with Israeli home goods retailer HaStock to deploy 2,000 Cust2Mate smart shopping carts across three stores in Haifa, Beer Sheba, and Petach Tikva, beginning in Q3 2026. The five-year deal is expected to generate more than $21 million in smart cart revenue and includes a broader collaboration spanning data, retail media, and digital services, with shared revenue opportunities as the companies advance a scalable, real-time in-store engagement platform.
This announcement underscores the accelerating shift toward connected retail experiences. A2Z Cust2Mate’s smart carts transform everyday shopping carts into AI-powered, connected commerce platforms that elevate the in-store experience, turning each visit into a seamless, personalized, and rewarding journey. 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.
For HaStock, a prominent Israeli home goods retailer, the deployment represents a strategic move to modernize its stores and enhance customer engagement. The shared revenue model also suggests that both companies will benefit from the data and media opportunities the smart carts enable. For A2Z Cust2Mate, this agreement is a major validation of its technology and business model, potentially opening doors to further partnerships in the region and beyond.
The implications for the retail industry are significant. As competition intensifies, brick-and-mortar retailers are seeking ways to compete with e-commerce by offering personalized, efficient, and engaging in-store experiences. Smart cart technology not only improves the shopping experience but also provides retailers with valuable data on consumer behavior, enabling them to optimize store layouts, inventory management, and marketing strategies. Additionally, the integration of retail media within the cart creates new revenue streams for both retailers and technology providers.
For investors, the deal highlights A2Z Cust2Mate’s ability to secure large-scale contracts and its potential for growth in the smart retail sector. The company’s focus on scalable, modular technology positions it well to capture market share as more retailers adopt digital solutions. The partnership with HaStock could serve as a blueprint for future deployments with other retailers.
