Listen. Learn. Execute.
This has been our motto for working with our customers and creating systems that leverage the data and capabilities of a production floor to get quantifiable results.
Where it all began
The Beginning
ISE & Paper-Less were founded by Wisconsin native and veteran John Van Kempen. In the 1980's IBM dismantled its marketing departments and gave territories to former marketing representatives to handle the accounts themselves. IBM was continuously recruiting people with experience and software foundations, and shortly after they found John.
1984
John had the experience and expertise needed for the transition, serving in the Navy and working as a systems engineer for 9 years. Information Systems Engineering was then founded in 1984. Shortly after this career adjustment, John realized there was a void between ERPs and the shop floor. In the dining room of a local McDonald's on a napkin, the idea for Paper-Less was created. John transformed his family's lake house into the official headquarters for ISE & Paper-Less.
Leadership
Following John's retirement, the leadership was shifted to his children
