On-demand e-sourcing tech provider Iasta says that Burlington Coat Factory has moved from pilot tests to full usage of its SmartSource solution. "After a thorough review of the e-sourcing market, which included over 10 vendors, we found that Iasta offered the best solution set, combined with highest value for our organization," says Chic Chancey, procurement director. "The Iasta technology is well-suited for large, global corporations. In addition, we found that Iasta SmartSource has functionality that is critical for sourcing in the retail industry." Iasta says SmartSource offers secure event management, advanced reverse auctions and post-bid optimization analysis and reporting. Burlington Coat Factory (www.coat.com) retails clothing, footwear and accessories. The company and its subsidiaries own and operate more than 360 stores in the U.S. More information on Indianapolis-based Iasta is available at www.iasta.com.
