Industrial Procurement Solutions & Services

Industrial procurement is riddled with supplier sprawl, approval bottlenecks, and data locked in spreadsheets. Keel builds fully custom procurement and operations software that fits your exact workflows — from purchase request to goods receipt — giving you complete control, real-time visibility, and a system your team actually owns and can evolve as you grow.

Our Industrial Procurement Services

End-to-end custom software covering every layer of your industrial procurement and operations stack.

Procurement System

Manage suppliers, automate approvals, and control spend from purchase request to receipt. Full PO lifecycle, three-way matching, supplier performance tracking, and budget oversight — built around your exact approval rules and compliance requirements.

Inventory Management

Real-time stock visibility across every location and SKU. Lot and batch tracking, automated reorder points, barcode scanning, and full audit trails — designed for industrial complexity that off-the-shelf tools simply cannot handle.

Order Management

Track every order from entry to delivery across multiple channels. Automate warehouse rules, manage splits and backorders, control pricing and credit terms, and maintain a complete audit trail even at high industrial volumes.

Warehouse Management

Custom warehouse workflows built around your layout, naming conventions, and floor structure. Receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping — configured to your exact process, not a rigid off-the-shelf template.

Fulfilment

Optimized wave, batch, and zone-based picking with barcode verification, automated carrier selection, label printing, and SLA tracking. Complete visibility and control over every shipment with structured exception handling.

Production Management

Model your actual manufacturing process — your stages, checkpoints, and terminology. Manage daily workloads, production batches, quality control, and raw-material-to-finished-goods traceability in a single connected system.

Purpose-built procurement systems deployed in weeks, not the months traditional ERP implementations demand.

Infinitely Flexible

Evolve workflows, add integrations, or restructure logic without months of development or costly consultancy fees.

Built By Operators, For Operators

A team that has lived the operational challenges your business faces every day.

Keel was founded in 2021 by three former executives from Echo — Europe's fastest-growing online pharmacy, later acquired by Pharmacy2U. As CEO, CTO, and CPO at Echo, the founders built custom software to manage 50,000 daily medicine shipments to 600,000 customers, scaling the business to $130M in annual revenue. They experienced first-hand how legacy procurement and operations software couldn't keep pace with a high-growth, highly regulated business. So they built the solution they wished had existed. In 2024, Keel raised $6M in seed funding from Earlybird and LocalGlobe to bring that same operational rigour to industrial and operations teams everywhere — empowering them with flexible, powerful tools they truly own.
