Global Retail, a leading franchisee of the Global Carrefour group (Carrefour Israel) and A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ:AZ) have entered a five-year strategic agreement, valued at approximately $50 million, to deploy 4000 smart carts across Carrefour Israel stores, alongside a comprehensive data, retail media and digital services collaboration. This landmark agreement positions Carrefour Israel as one of the first retailers in the world to implement smart cart technology at this scale, establishing a model for future deployments across international markets.

The rollout is set to begin in the third quarter of 2026 across six Carrefour Israel flagship stores and includes end to end delivery of smart carts, charging infrastructure, advanced software systems, as well as full implementation, training, and long-term support. No later than May 30, 2026 a detailed Service Level Agreement will be finalized, including the key performance indicators that the smart carts are required to meet.

Built on a recurring revenue model, the agreement extends beyond the deployment of smart carts to elevate the in-store shopping journey. The agreement positions the companies to capture value from two of retail's fastest growing segments: the $170 billion global retail media market and the retail data monetization sector projected to reach $20.3 billion by 2033. Under the agreement, Carrefour Israel grants A2Z Cust2Mate exclusive retail media and data monetization capabilities across its smart cart platform deployed throughout the Carrefour Israel chain for the duration of the smart cart deployment.
