(“Louisville Tile”), one of America’s largest and longest-tenured distributors of ceramic tile and related products, and Broadlume, the leading flooring software and technology company in North America, have formed a strategic partnership to bring the Wilcox Fifty Five private label tile collection to an even wider audience.
Through this partnership, flooring retailers and dealers will gain access to Louisville Tile’s Wilcox Fifty Five line on their websites and in-store visualization kiosks for retailers who are partnered with Louisville Tile and utilize Broadlume’s industry-leading website services and platform. This partnership will allow retailers to showcase beautiful new tile collections to their customers and enhance the shopping experience by leveraging Broadlume’s innovative online & in-store visualization tools which are proven to increase profits.
Dub Newell, Chief Executive Officer at Louisville Tile stated, “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Broadlume. Our private label program was specifically designed with the needs of specialty flooring dealers in mind.
