Being a part of fcB2B and adopting their EDI standards has streamlined many of our communications with our customers. As a result of our membership, we’ve experienced more efficient and accurate distribution of information to our customers and clients. From the customer’s specific pricing, to placing orders directly through the customer’s software, we’ve eliminated numerous phone calls and emails between Louisville Tile and our customers, ultimately benefiting both parties.
