TEL AVIV, ISRAEL / ACCESSWIRE / May 9, 2023 / A2Z Smart Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:AZ)(TSXV:AZ), today announced that, further to the existing purchase of 1,300 Smart Carts from the leading grocery chain M. YOCHANANOF AND SONS (1988) LTD. ("Yochananof") for total aggregate revenues of approximately New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") 35 million (~$12.0 million; CAD $13.8 million) as reported by the Company on December 13, 2022, it has received notice from Yochananof by LOI of its intention to purchase up to an additional 1,700 of the Company's new generation smart carts, on final conditions to be agreed.

The Cust2Mate smart cart platform streamlines the retail shopping experience by automatically scanning purchased products and enabling in-cart payment, allowing customers to "pick and go" and bypass long cashier checkout lines. Additionally, with Cust2Mate's technology, retail grocers can direct shoppers to discounted products, in-store promotions, and other offers to efficiently move inventory from the shelves into carts. Cust2Mate's smart algorithm, computer vision system, and real-time product recognition features help reduce the risk of theft, while the in-cart payment capability and reduced need for cashiers improve the overall customer experience.

Elad Harazi, Deputy CEO of Yochananof, stated "The response from our customers to the Cust2mate Smart Cart has been very positive and, as a chain which always looks to be at the forefront of retail state of the art technology, we are delighted to announce our intention to increase the purchase and deployment of the smart carts in our branches".

"We are thrilled to receive the LOI of this increased purchase from Yochananof," said Guy Mordoch, CEO of A2Z's subsidiary Cust2Mate. "Our smart cart technology is revolutionizing the retail industry, providing customers with a seamless and convenient shopping experience while enabling retailers to improve inventory management and reduce labor costs. This is a testament of the actual consumers demanding to use technology to change their shopping journey and is without a doubt the future of all retail.
