A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: AZ) announced its expansion into the toy retail sector with purchase orders totaling 2,000 smart carts from Toys "R" Us Israel and The Red Pirate, two leading Israeli toy retail chains. The orders are part of 60-month agreements with a minimum contract value of $15 million, excluding additional retail media revenues. Deployment is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2026, marking A2Z Cust2Mate's first entry into a new retail vertical.
The company's smart cart platform enables real-time shopper engagement, personalized promotions, and in-cart retail media monetization. Retailers and brands gain actionable insights into customer behavior and campaign performance under a shared advertising revenue model. This expansion demonstrates the versatility of the technology beyond its initial grocery and supermarket applications.
According to the announcement, the smart carts feature AI-driven capabilities that personalize every in-store journey, turning routine trips into engaging experiences. They allow seamless in-cart scanning and payment, enabling shoppers to bypass checkout lines while receiving real-time customized offers and product recommendations. The carts are equipped with multiple layers of security for accurate recognition and transaction integrity, and their modular, all-in-one detachable panels can transform legacy shopping cart fleets into intelligent platforms.
