Production Management
Manage daily workloads, production batches, and scheduling aligned to your orders and delivery. Custom stages, checkpoints, and QC flows built around your exact manufacturing process — not generic assumptions.
UK manufacturers can't afford rigid, off-the-shelf tools that slow the shop floor down or that were built for someone else's process. Keel's manufacturing process planning software solutions give your team complete control over resource planning, scheduling, batch management and production workflows—built around how you actually make things, not generic industry templates. Purpose-built for fast-moving UK operations teams ready to own their process.
End-to-end software solutions built around your exact manufacturing process, from raw materials to finished goods.
Manage daily workloads, production batches, and scheduling aligned to your orders and delivery. Custom stages, checkpoints, and QC flows built around your exact manufacturing process — not generic assumptions.
Real-time tracking of raw materials, WIP, and finished goods across every location. Lot and batch tracking, automated reorders, and full traceability from receipt to shipment — built for manufacturing complexity.
Track every production order from entry to fulfilment in one place. Manage multi-channel order capture, smart inventory allocation, automated warehouse rules, and complete audit trails — even at high volumes.
Manage suppliers, automate purchase orders, and streamline replenishment with a professional-grade procurement stack integrated directly into your production planning workflow.
Create warehouse workflows that match exactly how your facility operates. Receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping — all configured to your layout, team structure, and unique handling rules.
Get finished goods out the door efficiently with optimised picking, barcode verification, automated carrier selection, and end-to-end shipment tracking — with complete visibility at every stage.
Off-the-shelf ERP systems force your team to work around rigid templates that don't reflect your real production flow, your material requirements, or your shop-floor capacity constraints. Keel builds manufacturing process planning software that models your exact stages, checkpoints, materials and terminology—giving you full traceability from raw input to finished goods, with resource allocation and capacity planning built around your operation, not a generic template. Whether you run discrete manufacturing, batch production, or complex multi-stage processes, your scheduling and planning tools finally fit the way your operation works—and evolve as you grow.

Experienced operators building the tools they wished existed.
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, the founding team built custom operations software that shipped 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily, growing Echo to $130m (USD) in annual revenue. They saw first-hand how legacy ERP systems couldn't scale with the speed and complexity of modern operations—so they built the solution they wished had existed. Since then, Keel has raised $6m (USD) in seed funding from leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe, and is now empowering fast-moving manufacturing and operations teams everywhere with flexible, powerful software they truly own. Keel (Planko Ltd) is a company registered in the United Kingdom, headquartered at 3rd Floor, 1 Ashley Road, Altrincham, Cheshire WA14 2DT, and registered with the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO, reference ZB524558). UK contracts are billed in GBP with VAT added, and you can choose where your data is hosted, including in the UK.
A manufacturing process planner is a software system that helps production teams design, schedule, and manage the sequence of operations required to manufacture a product. It maps out each stage — from raw material input to finished goods — defining workstations, resources, timelines, and quality checkpoints. Modern platforms like Keel allow manufacturers to model their exact production process and iterate workflows as the business scales.
