ITI employs a process where 100% of our customers are guaranteed a detailed and specific update on the status of their project, orders, and shipments every week. Along with daily communication, ITI sends out over 2,500 weekly updates per year to our customers.
Ongoing and consistent communication enables proactive production planning, inventory management, and shipment scheduling. Our customers stay informed.
ITI takes ownership when an issue comes up. Our commitment is to acknowledge issues on the same day, continuously follow up as it’s investigated, and resolve issues to your satisfaction. ITI acknowledges over 99% of issues on the same day.
ITI surveys our customers and uses statistical modeling to determine their value drivers. From those value drivers, we identify key execution levers where we can create the most value for customers. These execution levers drive our daily focus on customer value. How many companies can say they do that?
