Business software firm Intuit purchased AisleBuyer LLC, the manufacturer of a mobile shopping application. AisleBuyer technology allows shoppers to scan bar codes from smart devices to redeem coupons, see product reviews, check and compare prices, and purchase items without waiting in a checkout line.
Andrew Paradise, AisleBuyer Chief Executive Officer and founder, confirmed the sale of his company in a blog he wrote on the AisleBuyer website April 10, 2012. Paradise did not disclose the sale price, but many media reports have claimed Intuit paid between $80 million and $100 million for AisleBuyer.
AisleBuyer launched in 2009 offering a consumer-controlled checkout solution. The motto of Boston's AisleBuyer is "never wait in line again." "By leveraging our technology and talent, together with Intuit's rock star payments team, we will continue to work on creating the best small business POS solutions in the world," Paradise wrote in his blog.
