From checkout lanes to connected carts, the retail experience is being reinvented — and A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions (NASDAQ: AZ) is at the forefront of the movement. A2Z develops and deploys “smart-cart” technology that aims to transform how consumers shop in physical stores by melding convenience, personalization and data intelligence into the traditional grocery-store cart.

A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions is a globally oriented technology company that specializes in creating and commercializing smart-cart solutions for grocery stores, supermarkets and other retail formats. The company’s flagship offering, branded Cust2Mate, is a modular, sensor-rich smart cart platform designed to retrofit ordinary shopping carts with a touchscreen interface; a range of sensors, including barcode scanner, computer vision, anomaly analysis and security scale; and built-in payment functionality; the innovative tech enables customers to scan items as they shop, bag the items and pay directly from the cart rather than waiting in line at a checkout lane

The company’s mission is to “unlock the full potential of every in-store shopping journey, through digitalization and personalization.” A2Z’s vision calls for a future in which physical retail stores are deeply connected, not only mirrors online commerce but hybrid environments where in-store shopping benefits from digital convenience, real-time data and personalized experience.

At its core, the Cust2Mate smart cart platform offers several strengths and capabilities that differentiate A2Z from traditional retail solutions. First, its modular hardware design allows retrofit of existing shopping carts, meaning retailers do not necessarily need to rebuild entire cart fleets to adopt the technology. The platform’s combination of sensors (barcode, AI-driven computer vision, anomaly analysis, security scale) ensures accurate tracking of items, supports in-cart payment, and enables store systems to integrate with retailer backend IT infrastructures for data analytics and real-time insights. 

Second, Cust2Mate supports a digital in-store experience that closely bridges online and brick-and-mortar shopping. The system’s touchscreen interface can deliver personalized offers, retail media content, loyalty-club integration and real-time promos, effectively allowing consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) brands and retailers to engage shoppers directly during their physical shopping journey. This creates new monetization paths beyond checkout fees.  

Third, the data-driven nature of the platform gives retailers valuable analytics tools: tracking shopper behavior, basket composition, dwell times, product interest and more. These insights can improve store layout, refine merchandising strategies, optimize inventory and reduce shrinkage, all with the potential to improve margins and operational efficiency.

In recent months, A2Z has demonstrated its commitment to innovation and growth. The company has launched a dedicated AI and Business Insight Division. The division is intended to bring advanced machine learning, computer vision and analytics to its smart-cart platform, elevating the system’s ability to deliver personalized shopping experiences, fraud prevention, retail media, and deeper store- and shopper-level insights. This move signals A2Z’s intention to not only sell hardware but to also build a full-stack retail technology ecosystem focused on long-term data services, advertising and value-added software.

A2Z emphasizes strategic objectives that go beyond individual cart sales. The company envisions expanding its global footprint through strategic partnerships with retailers worldwide, while continuing to innovate and evolve its platform to meet changing customer expectations and retail sector dynamics.  The dual-value proposition — improving shopper convenience and bolstering retailer margins — is central to A2Z’s long-term purpose: to modernize brick-and-mortar retail by merging the best of physical and digital shopping worlds.

That proposition helps explain the broad applicability of Cust2Mate’s solutions. A2Z aims to serve not only traditional grocery stores and supermarkets but also discount retailers, warehouse clubs, convenience stores, drugstores, do-it-yourself retailers and other mass-market formats. Through such wide reach, A2Z positions itself not as a niche vendor but as a foundational retail-automation partner capable of addressing many segments across global retail.

Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, the company serves global markets. In a retail environment increasingly driven by e-commerce, convenience, speed and personalization, A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions offers a compelling vision for physical stores: Carts that double as personal shopping assistants, checkout lanes that no longer exist and data-driven insights that rival those of online platforms. By integrating hardware, software, payment, data analytics and retail media under one unified platform, A2Z aims to reinvent the shopping journey from end to end.
