Irista Partners With SmartLinc, Inc.

Irista, Inc., an industry leading developer of logistics applications, today announces a new reseller agreement with SmartLinc Inc., a national provider of integrated transportation and shipping solutions. Under this agreement, SmartLinc will offer the iristaTransport application to its new as well as existing customers.

This partnership provides SmartLinc with an advanced set of transportation management tools for those clients whose requirements exceed the capabilities of simply manifesting. While rating and labeling automation remains a critical element in fulfillment of high volume and small package distribution, many organizations are beginning to require higher level functionality such as routing compliance, planning, advanced consolidation, auditing, and analysis.

"Our clients are being challenged with a rapidly changing distribution marketplace," says Mike Pridavka, SmartLinc vice president of sales and marketing. "Carrier competition, rate matrix complexity, and a rapid shift toward customer routing compliance are creating a fulfillment challenge that is well beyond the scope of manifesting solutions. iristaTransport provides SmartLinc with an opportunity to turn a distribution challenge into a value opportunity with a very significant and rapid return on investment."

"We are very pleased that SmartLinc has decided to join our reseller network," stated Doug Metcalfe, Irista director of business development. "SmartLinc's manifesting and shipping expertise, mature customer base, and culture of delivering outstanding value are a perfect match for Irista. We look forward to leveraging these synergies in continuing to develop and deploy industry leading transportation management solutions."
