Intuit (INTU) has purchased the mobile commerce provider AisleBuyer.
The deal closed Monday, according to Sharna Brockett, a representative for Intuit. Brockett did not say whether the acquisition figure of $80 million to $100 million, which was reported in other media, is accurate.
AisleBuyer CEO Andrew Paradise did not respond to requests for comment.

"Moving forward, the industry will become a more mobile-oriented payment area, and this purchase puts Intuit in a really good position," Oglesby says.
