Get finished goods out the door efficiently with optimized picking, barcode verification, automated carrier selection, and end-to-end shipment tracking — with complete visibility at every stage.

Custom-Built for Manufacturers

Production Scheduling Software Built for How You Actually Manufacture

Off-the-shelf ERP systems force your team to work around rigid templates that don't reflect your real production flow. 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. 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.

Truly Custom

Your production stages, your terminology, your QC checkpoints — modelled precisely, not forced into a generic manufacturing template.

Launch in Weeks

Go live with tailored production scheduling software in weeks, not months — with full handover so your team owns the system.

You Own It

Complete data ownership and control with version-controlled, iteratable workflows — no vendor lock-in, no rigid licensing constraints.

Meet the Team Behind Keel

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 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 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.
