TEL AVIV, ISRAEL / ACCESSWIRE / January 17, 2023 / A2Z Smart Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: AZ)(TSXV:AZ), today announced that it has developed and launched a new Smart Cart model which will extend and complement the Company's current offerings.

The new Version 2.8 has been developed after consultation with major retailers around the world, predominately in the European and Asian markets.

"Given our significant discussions with retailers around the world, it was pointed out that while our initial Smart Cart was perfect for the larger stores, a smaller version would be very suitable for some of the smaller sized stores. As most of the major retailers have stores of varying scale, we took their input on board and are delighted to launch the new V2.8 which is lighter and opens up a much bigger market for our smart cart offerings", said Rafi Yam, Chief Executive Officer of Cust2Mate

The new V2.8 is a lighter model and comes in 180 litre and 75 litre sizes. This allows our product offering to now be used in stores of all sizes from hypermarket right down to convenience stores, and in a variety of retail fields from groceries and supermarkets to drugstores and duty free shops.

The new versions carry the same touch screens and all the security features as their big brother.

This brings the suite of smart carts on offer now to four, ranging from 270 litre down to 75 litre carts which make it the most comprehensive offering in the market.
