A2Z Smart Technologies Announces Establishment of Smart Cart Maintenance and Support Division and First Services Agreement

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL / ACCESSWIRE / January 24, 2023 / A2Z Smart Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:AZ)(TSXV:AZ), today announced the establishment of a Smart Cart maintenance and support division.

The maintenance and support division will be established within the Company's wholly owned ISO qualified subsidiary, A2Z MS, which already provides high level maintenance and support services to some of Israel's largest governmental and private organizations. The division will provide all maintenance and support services required by its Cust2mate Smart Carts which have been, and will be, deployed in Israel by Yochananof and all future retailers.

In order to enable A2Z MS to concentrate on providing the services, the Company has decided to discontinue the development of military related or derived products.

The Company believes that providing these services internally will give the Company invaluable in-depth insights into the day to day practicalities of using the Smart Carts and assist the Company in developing new generations and features of the Smart Cart.

The Company has signed an agreement with Yochananof for the provision of maintenance and services for the 1,300 Smart Carts ordered by Yochananof for the first three years.
