We met at MICAM.

Everything on this page, I learned selling shoes. Not building software. Ninety seconds from me, then two minutes about you.

No sales pressure. We start by listening. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.

Two minutes, honest answers

The Season Scorecard.

Six honest questions about how your operation actually runs. Tap through and see where the season is leaking. Nothing is sent anywhere, this is for you.

Answer all six to see your verdict.

Receipts, not claims

"Owners Kermo and Rainer have spent years and years in sales and after-service. They also received intensive training from one of the best salesmen I have ever met: Erti Kulberg. They truly listen to the needs of a company and can relate to them through their own experience. As a typical Dutchman, I don't like the 'uurtje, factuurtje' approach. With ITRE, the hours and approach are handled in a very commercial, transparent, and open way."

What you get

Four ways to own the season.

Own your stock.

Flagged by your scorecard+

Your B2B portal is a webshop, and your buyer runs ten other brands. Expecting them to browse yours is wishful thinking. We push the right stock to the right buyer before they ask.

In your operation: a buyer opens Monday's email and the styles that fit their doors are already there, live availability attached. The portal stops being a shelf and starts selling.

Own your sell-through.

Flagged by your scorecard+

We know what a client bought and what is moving in their region. The moment their sell-out data lands, they get a curated offer, within the minute. And when a colour flies everywhere except their shelf, we tell them.

In your operation: the reorder window stops being a guess. You act mid-season, while it still matters, not at markdown time.

Own your data.

Flagged by your scorecard+

Google Drive and Dropbox are not a database. They are folders. We put your processes and your data in one system that you own and can actually query.

Ask it anything. Which styles sold through, which client is slowing down. Answers in seconds, not a week of digging.
Ready for what is next. Every new AI tool is only as good as the data you feed it. Owned data plugs in the day they arrive.
Yours, not theirs. In your own system, the history and the client knowledge stay on your balance sheet.

Own your margin.

Flagged by your scorecard+

Squeezing product cost gets harder every year, and most of it is out of your hands. The margin you control is the operational one: less wasted time, fewer manual steps, more that runs itself.

In your operation: revenue can grow without headcount growing with it. That difference lands on the balance sheet.

Who is writing this

I was born into shoes.

My family has been in the wholesale footwear business since 1992. I grew up in it, and eventually spent fifteen years building my own experience within the industry, representing Vagabond, Liu Jo, NeroGiardini, BRONX, U.S. Polo Assn. and Juicy Couture across the Baltics, Nordics and markets beyond the EU.

That taught me what distribution actually means. It is not simply presenting a collection and taking an order. It is understanding what will sell in each market. It is building an order that makes commercial sense, managing logistics and exports, explaining terms clearly, and sometimes telling a client to buy less, because their success matters more than the size of one order.

It is course correcting quickly when something goes wrong. It is making sure clients have the marketing assets they need when they need them, not buried somewhere in a media bank. It is the hundreds of small things behind the scenes that make brands easier to buy, sell and work with.

After fifteen years on the distribution side, I knew exactly where the friction was. So I started building the systems I always wished I had, for the brands I used to sell.

Most software is built by people who never did the job. We did the job first.

The turn

We build tools so people can spend more time being people.

After years of working with brands, I kept seeing the same pattern. Great products. Good people. Strong relationships. And behind the scenes, too much time lost to manual work, disconnected systems and information living in too many places.

We believe technology should take care of the work that does not need human interaction: moving data, checking information, preparing reports, handling repetitive tasks, keeping systems connected. That lets your team focus on what technology cannot replicate: judgment, taste, relationships and experience.

But we do not start with automation. We start by understanding how your business actually works. We listen. We map the process. We find where time is being lost and where things are more complicated than they need to be. Then we review it together, so we are all looking at the same problems.

Only then do we decide how the technology fits. Sometimes that means automating a process. Sometimes it means changing the process first, because there is little value in making a bad process faster. The goal is not more technology. It is less friction, so your team can focus on the work that actually matters.

If you book, this is all that happens

Listening first. Always.

We talk. You walk us through the operation. NDA first if you prefer.
We audit and reflect it back. Every process mapped, so we both know we see it the same way.
You get a fixed plan, fixed price. Build it with us, build it with someone else, or keep it. A deal is a deal, terms do not change after the handshake.

The three questions everyone asks

Do we have to replace our ERP?

No. We build the layer your ERP cannot: custom operational logic on your business rules, connected to what you already run. It's Perfect, Dynamics NAV, SAP B1, all fine.

What does it cost?

Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed before we build. The audit defines it. No hourly billing, no open-ended scope, no surprises on the invoice.

How fast do we see something working?

Phase one ships working software in weeks, not quarters. Each phase is useful on its own and funds the decision on the next one.
