New York, NY - Louisville Tile Distributors, Inc. (“Louisville Tile”), one of America’s largest and most established distributors of ceramic tile and related products, has partnered with Broadlume, North America's leading flooring software and technology company. This strategic alliance aims to expand the reach of the exclusive Wilcox Fifty Five tile collection to a broader audience.

Through this strategic partnership, flooring retailers and dealers will now have access to Louisville Tile's exclusive Wilcox Fifty Five line, both on their websites and in-store visualization kiosks. Retailers who partner with Louisville Tile and utilize Broadlume's industry-leading website services and platform can showcase stunning new tile collections to their customers. This collaboration will enhance the shopping experience by leveraging Broadlume's innovative online and in-store visualization tools, which are proven to increase profits.

Walter “Dub” Newell, CEO, of 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. Broadlume's innovative platform and tools greatly influenced our decision to establish this strategic partnership. Together, the integration of our Wilcox Fifty Five Private Label program and Broadlume's platform promises to be a powerful asset for our flooring dealers.”

John Weller, Chief Innovation Officer at Broadlume, added, "We are excited to partner with Louisville Tile to bring digital retailing tools to their dealers. The flooring industry is at a tipping point, where technology has finally reached a level where independent retailers and the brands that support them can offer a far better shopping and buying experience than big-box stores and e-commerce sites."
