Manufacturing Workflow Software for Automation

A manufacturing workflow is a structured sequence of steps that define how a product moves from raw materials to finished goods. It includes production stages, quality control checkpoints, inventory movements, approvals, and handoffs between teams. A well-designed workflow ensures every step is tracked, accountable, and optimized — reducing errors, delays, and wasted resource time across the production floor.

Unlike rigid ERPs or generic platforms, Keel builds your workflow software around your actual process — your stages, terminology, and exceptions. You're not forced to conform to a template. The system is custom-modelled, version-controlled, and fully owned by your team, meaning you can iterate and improve it without depending on a software vendor's roadmap or paying for expensive customizations.

Most customers go live within a matter of weeks using Keel's Build for Me service. The team works with you in real-time to model your platform around your actual business processes, then hands ownership over to your team. This is significantly faster than traditional ERP implementations, which typically take months and require large project teams.

Yes. Keel is designed for seamless integration. It connects with e-commerce platforms like Shopify and Amazon, third-party logistics providers, IoT devices such as smart shelves and sensors, financial systems, and custom APIs. Whether you're using carrier systems, barcode scanners, or existing databases, Keel is built to synchronize with your current infrastructure without disruption.

Absolutely. Keel's Production Management module embeds QC checkpoints directly within the production flow — not as a bolt-on feature. Specifications, tolerances, and approvals are placed exactly where they need to be in your process. Every inspection result and approval decision is logged with a complete audit trail, which is especially valuable for manufacturers in regulated industries.

Yes. Keel provides full lot and batch tracking, serial number management, and expiry date visibility across your entire inventory. Every movement — from receipt through production to shipment — is logged with a complete audit trail. This level of traceability is built for teams where regulatory compliance is non-negotiable, and it's included as a core part of the platform.

Because Keel is version-controlled and code-first, updating your workflows is structured and safe. You can test changes in separate environments before deploying them to production. Unlike legacy ERPs where process changes require expensive consultants and long lead times, Keel is designed for agility — your team or Keel's team can evolve the system as your operations grow and change.

Your data is fully yours. Keel is registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO, reference ZB524558) and operates on fully isolated, multi-region serverless infrastructure. Each customer has a dedicated Postgres database, deny-by-default access control, row- and role-based permissioning, and a complete audit log. You own your data model and can access your database directly at any time.
