A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: AZ) has secured a $30 million commercial line of credit from one of Israel's largest commercial banks, the company announced. The non-dilutive financing, backed by company purchase orders, is designed to support large-scale manufacturing and deployment of its Cust2Mate smart shopping carts. The move allows A2Z to accelerate fulfillment of existing orders and expand global deployment while preserving cash resources and avoiding additional equity financing.
The credit facility marks a significant step for the company as it scales production of its AI-powered shopping carts, which transform everyday carts into connected commerce platforms. Cust2Mate's technology aims to enhance the in-store retail experience by enabling personalized, seamless shopping and real-time shopper engagement. The smart carts also provide retailers with actionable data on shopper behavior, helping to optimize store operations, increase revenue, and mitigate loss.
“This financing is a major milestone for A2Z Cust2Mate as we ramp up production to meet growing demand,” said a company representative in the press release. The secured credit line is expected to accelerate the rollout of smart carts to retailers globally, potentially reshaping the in-store shopping landscape.
The news is particularly important as the retail industry increasingly turns to technology to bridge the gap between online and physical shopping. Smart carts, equipped with AI and connectivity, allow retailers to offer targeted promotions and gather real-time data at the point of purchase. This capability could help brick-and-mortar stores compete more effectively with e-commerce giants by providing a data-rich, personalized experience.
A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. focuses on making in-store retail smarter by connecting retailers, brands, and shoppers through its Smart Cart platform. The platform helps retailers grow revenue through targeted retail media and real-time shopper engagement, while delivering full visibility into in-store behavior.
