TEL AVIV, ISRAEL / ACCESSWIRE / November 18, 2021 / A2Z Smart Technologies Corp. ("A2Z" or the "Company") (TSXV:AZ) (OTCQB:AAZZF), today announced that it has launched a new remote attendant system for its Cust2Mate Smart Shopping Carts.

The software as a service ("SaaS"), internet-of-things ("IoT") system will help store employees to monitor and assist customers shopping in the store via the cart's location and provide valuable business intelligence to store management. The system is designed to maximize the customer experience and provide the most efficient communication between customers and store staff. Additionally, it is fully automated to detect and report the status of each cart, providing maintenance information and predicting the future maintenance needs of the carts.

Rafael Yam, CEO of Cust2Mate, commented, "Launching this new support system is an important step in the evolution of our Cust2Mate product. It will enhance the ability of store management to access valuable business analytics around cart and customer activity, that we believe will boost operating efficiencies and help to support store employees. Additionally, the system is expected to minimize the time that carts are off the floor for maintenance. This is an exciting development for Cust2Mate, further improving our product and enhancing our operational agility as a leading smart cart solution in the retail space."
