A2Z Sees Breakout Quarter as Retail Tech Leader
A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp., a global retail technology company, reported a breakout quarter in its Q1 2026 financial results and business update conference call. The company's CEO, Mr. Gadi Gross, highlighted the transition of Cust2Mate from an early-stage pilot-driven deployment model into a scalable commercial platform designed for global rollout and mass deployment across leading retail partners.
A2Z is focused on transforming the in-store shopping experience through its Smart Cart and connected retail platform, which digitizes the physical store by enabling self-scanning, personalized engagement, and real-time retail intelligence at the point of purchase. The company's integrated platform combines Smart Cart infrastructure, AI-powered shopper engagement, and emerging retail media capabilities to help retailers improve operational efficiency, enhance shopper experience, and unlock new monetization opportunities within the physical retail environment.
In Q1 2026, A2Z saw revenue growth driven by the delivery of its Smart Cart solution to retail stores. The company reported that retailers are transitioning from pilot programs into committed multi-phase deployments, with Cust2Mate increasingly being integrated as part of the core operating layer of the physical retail landscape.
Retailers are already capturing tangible economic impact from A2Z's solutions, including an uptick in sales throughput with approximately five additional items per transaction and a 15% increase in basket value. Smart Cart baskets reached 165% of manned checkout baskets and 275% of self-checkout baskets, with daily utilization rates above 95%. The company has now processed over 1 million transactions.
These metrics are strong signals that the platform is not just improving sales but fundamentally reshaping store performance across both the top line and operational layers. A2Z's business model is increasingly driven by three reinforcing growth engines: recurring Smart Cart platform revenues, retail media monetization, and retail intelligence and data services.
Mr. Gross emphasized that retailers are transitioning from pilot programs into committed multi-phase deployments, with Cust2Mate being integrated as part of the core operating layer of the physical retail landscape. The company's focus on delivering tangible economic impact to retailers has led to measurable validation of the platform in live retail environments.
As A2Z continues its transition from a pilot-driven model to a scalable commercial platform, the company is poised for further growth and expansion. With its integrated platform and three reinforcing growth engines, A2Z is well-positioned to become a leader in the retail technology space.
The company's focus on delivering tangible economic impact to retailers has led to measurable validation of the platform in live retail environments. As A2Z continues to drive growth and adoption, it is likely that the company will continue to see strong results in its future quarters.
Overall, A2Z's breakout quarter demonstrates the company's commitment to transforming the in-store shopping experience through its Smart Cart and connected retail platform.
