Under the joint venture, the Company will use Lenovo solutions in its revolutionary Cust2mate Smart Cart solution and Lenovo will actively sell and promote the solution through its extensive worldwide channels.

Bundled with global, on-site support, Cust2mate can roll out its smart cart platform to supermarkets around the world, with future service needs covered by Lenovo's global support.

Hila Kraus, Head of Sales stated, "The Cust2Mate platform with embedded Lenovo OEM solution is designed to serve shoppers from the moment they enter the store until they leave-without any friction, lines, or delays."
