We are proud to share that our mass production facilities in China are now fully operational, with large-scale manufacturing underway.

This is a milestone we have been working toward for some time. Systems are shipping, cart deliveries are ramping up, and deployment schedules are being accelerated as retailers continue to expand their smart cart programs.

Together with our deployment operations, this gives us the capacity to support a growing pipeline of retailer programs worldwide while keeping delivery timelines efficient.

Our CEO Gadi Graus was on site to inaugurate the facilities, marking a significant step forward in our global growth strategy.

Cus2Mate. In-Store Retail Just Got Smarter

49.6% of shoppers say that easy access to digital coupons would motivate them to use a smart cart.

The disconnect between digital savings and the physical shelf is a major point of friction. Most shoppers want the discounts they see online, but they do not want to juggle a phone or hunt for codes while navigating the store.

Cust2Mate bridges this gap by making the cart the center of the savings experience. Shoppers get personalized coupon offers directly on their cart screen and choose exactly what they want. As soon as those products are scanned, the system automatically applies the discount to the total in real time.

This seamless loop between discovery and checkout is what transforms a "smart cart" from a piece of hardware into a preferred shopping tool. When saving money is this easy, adoption follows naturally.

Retail tech is entering its practical era, and the rules have changed.

In a recent Forbes op-ed, our CEO Gadi Graus shared observations from 2026 and the NRF Big Show in New York. The message on both floors was clear:

Retailers are no longer impressed by what technology looks like - they want to know what it does.

Does this increase sales?
Does it reduce shopper friction?
Can it scale?

Those are the questions driving decisions now, and Gadi breaks down three shifts behind that change:
• The store is a real-time data asset, not just a transaction point.
• Retail media is shifting from impressions to in-the-moment influence.
• AI is moving off the dashboard and closer to the shopper.

That is exactly what the Cust2Mate smart cart is built for. Real-time data, in-aisle engagement, and AI-driven insights that connect the physical store to the kind of intelligence retailers have always wanted.
The future belongs to tech that makes stores work better, not louder.

If you haven't seen it yet, Fraser Neil Neil, Cust2mate’s Chief Sales Officer, was featured in Retail Brew 's Coworking series this week.

He gets into what the job is really about, and makes a point that's hard to argue with: shoppers don't want more technology. They want the experience to feel effortless. The retailers who figure that out are the ones who'll come out ahead.

It's the kind of thinking that shapes how he works with retailers every day, and it's the whole premise behind the smart cart. Less about adding a screen to a cart, more about removing the friction that makes shopping feel harder than it should be.

We’re excited to welcome Ambioris Garcia to the Cust2Mate team as our Implementation Specialist in the US.

Based in New York City, Ambioris brings a technical foundation with an Associate of Applied Science in Computer Science from TCI College of Technology.

At Cust2Mate, he is responsible for deploying and integrating our smart cart solutions within retail environments, while also delivering tailored product demos that translate technical features into real-world value.

His journey with us actually started in the field. Serving as a test pilot in NYC gave him a front-row seat to the potential of smart cart technology, and the expertise and welcoming spirit of the team made his decision to join an easy one.

When he isn’t scaling our retail presence, Ambioris is dedicated to his biggest personal achievement: watching his kids grow and supporting them as they become their own people.

A fun detail worth sharing: he has been mastering woodworking in his free time and has already built his own closet and shelving from scratch.

Welcome to Cust2Mate, Ambioris.

A new article in Magazine examines what it actually takes for supermarkets to meet the expectations of today's digitally connected shopper.

The piece draws on a white paper from Cust2Mate that identifies six expectations shoppers now bring into physical stores: Continuous, Guiding, Relevant, Transparent, Rewarding, and Seamless.

One finding stands out: 64% of shoppers research online before visiting a store, yet when they walk through the door, the loyalty data, shopping lists, and promotions they engaged with at home largely disappear.

That gap is the operational challenge. And it starts with the infrastructure retailers deploy at the point of decision.

Meeting new shopper expectations requires more than improving the customer experience inside the store.

Nobody likes squinting at the tiny text on the back of a cereal box to find the sugar content or allergen warnings.

In a world where everyone is used to having information at their fingertips, shopping in-store can sometimes feel like a step backward. People shouldn't have to pull out their phones to look up a product review or check if something fits their diet.

With Cust2Mate, a single scan brings the data to life. Our carts sync with retailer databases to give shoppers:
• Instant Transparency: Full nutritional facts and calorie counts at a glance.
• Smart Filters: Allergen alerts tailored to specific dietary needs.
• Real-Time Savings: Automatic triggers for "1+1" deals and discounts.

For retailers, it’s a way to provide value-added services that drive loyalty. For shoppers, it’s the power to make smarter, better decisions in seconds.

Cust2Mate smart carts don’t just carry the groceries. They empower the person buying them.

We spend a lot of time (and budget) designing in-store promotions. But our latest survey found a painful truth: nearly half the time, shoppers don't even know they exist.

41.6% of shoppers say they often miss out on deals simply because they didn't see them until it was too late.

It’s not that they don't want the deal - they just can't find it. In a crowded aisle, paper shelf-talkers are becoming invisible.

Here is the feedback we're seeing:
“I only found out about the discount after I checked the receipt.”
“I would have bought the other brand if I knew it was on sale.”
“Why can't the coupon just pop up when I grab the item?”

Retail media isn't just about selling ad space; it’s about visibility. When the screen travels with the shopper, the "billboard" is always facing the right way.
