We the
art of the possible

We address challenges unique to the furniture and cabinet-making industry using our team’s unparalleled combination of long-standing industry experience, cross-functional expertise, and pioneering spirit.

On our 5th anniversary, we’re celebrating our evolution from ITe Consulting to ITE Partners.

Our team members have addressed challenges unique to the furniture and cabinet-making industry for more than 30 years. After 5 years of operating in North America as ITe Consulting, we’re excited to announce our latest evolution to ITE Partners.

Why the change?

We’ve learned that true business transformation and, ultimately, operational excellence for our clients are best achieved through true partnerships — with our clients, our growing team, and our service and software partners.

We offer a unique ability to provide both a big-picture view and the necessary on-the-ground experience to solve our clients’ broader problems. Together with all our partners, we move our clients’ digital, business, and operational processes through a continuous cycle of transformation, optimization, and expansion.
