A2ZSmart Technologies Announces that it will display its smart cart line of products at the NRF 2023 Big

Retail Show in NYC

Tel Aviv, Israel / January 12 2023— A2Z Smart Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: AZ) (TSXV: AZ), today announced that it will participate at the NRF 2023 Big Retail Show in New York from January 14th to 17th.

The event will be held at the Javits Centre and Cust2mate will display its line of smart cart products at booth number 62570 located on the floor of the event where we will show you all latest exciting developments.

Added to this, the company will have the benefit of being able to do live demonstrations in Morton Williams West End Store where customers can use the smart carts by themselves.

Cust2Mate is an advanced proven-in-use mobile self-checkout (SCO) smart cart for retail markets. With its user-friendly smart algorithm, touch screen, and computer-vision system, Cust2Mate streamlines the retail shopping experience by scanning purchased products and enabling in-cart payment so that customers can simply “pick & go”, and bypass long cashier checkout lines. This results in a more efficient shopping experience for customers, less unused shelf-space and manpower requirements, and advanced command and control capabilities for store managers.

Headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, Cust2Mate Ltd. is owned by A2Z Advanced Solutions, a high-tech company that specializes in developing technological products and providing services for police, military, and civilian use.
