TEL AVIV, ISRAEL / ACCESSWIRE / January 11, 2024 / A2Z Smart Technologies Corp. ("A2Z" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:AZ)(TSXV:AZ) ($AZ), a global leader in innovative technology solutions, proudly introduces Cust2Mate 3.0, the latest iteration of its smart cart.

Designed to meet the evolving demands of consumers navigating an extensive array of choices and the challenges faced by retailers in an era of thin profit margins and increased shrinkage, Cust2Mate 3.0 brings a host of new features to the forefront.

At the heart of the innovation is the all-in-one detachable panel, featuring a 13.3" interactive touchscreen. This panel easily clips on to any shopping cart, transforming traditional shopping carts into multi technology smart carts. Cust2Mate's 3.0 smart cart, designed for ease of mass production and reduced installation and maintenance costs, also results in a considerable reduction in weight, significantly enhancing maneuverability and space efficiency.

The Cust2Mate 3.0 smart cart also addresses the growing shrinkage epidemic, which has been estimated to exceed $100 billion in the United States ¹ . The Smart Cart's theft mitigation features include computer vision, RFID, and AI anomaly behavior detection, which complement the existing item sensor capabilities such as barcode scanner and weight sensors.

Leveraging behavioral data and on-cart screens, the Cust2Mate 3.0 smart cart software can deliver personalized, context-driven, real-time product recommendations, promotions, and advertisements throughout the shopper's in-store journey. Through automation and big data-driven actionable insights, Cust2Mate 3.0 optimizes store operations, marking a significant step towards the future of retail.

As part of this launch, A2Z Smart Technologies is also thrilled to announce the unveiling of a new website which will serve as a comprehensive platform for customers to explore the features and capabilities of Cust2Mate 3.0, stay updated on the latest news and developments, and engage with the innovative solutions offered by the company.

Cust2Mate will be presenting the 3.0 smart cart in the coming NRF 2024 Retail's Big Show, at Booth 6712. The show is held in the Javits Center, New York, USA on January 14-16. To book a meeting, please visit: https://www.cust2mate.com/nrf2024/
