(NASDAQ: AZ) has announced a five-year strategic agreement valued at approximately $50 million with Carrefour Israel to deploy 4,000 smart carts across its store network. The deal includes a broader collaboration spanning data, retail media and digital services. The rollout, beginning in the third quarter of 2026, encompasses full delivery of hardware, software, infrastructure and support.
Under the agreement, A2Z Cust2Mate gains exclusive retail media and data monetization rights across the platform.
