Managing production complexity shouldn't mean wrestling with rigid, off-the-shelf software that doesn't reflect how you actually make things. Keel implements a custom Production Management System built around your exact stages, checkpoints, and terminology—from raw materials to finished goods, with quality control baked in, not bolted on. Go live in weeks, not months.
End-to-end implementation of custom production management systems tailored to your exact manufacturing process and operational needs.
Custom production management built around your actual process—your stages, your checkpoints, your terminology. Manage daily workloads, production batches, scheduling, and quality control from raw materials through to finished goods.
Plan and manage production batches that align precisely with orders and delivery timelines. Optimise scheduling to reduce bottlenecks, track every transformation, and ensure every output is traced and connected.
QC checkpoints built directly into your production flow—not bolted on after the fact. Define specifications, tolerances, and approval gates exactly where they need to be, ensuring compliance without disrupting throughput.
Real-time stock visibility across every location and SKU, with lot tracking, serial numbers, expiry dates, automated reorders, and full audit trails—built to handle the complexity off-the-shelf tools simply cannot.
Professional-grade procurement from purchase request to receipt. Manage suppliers, automate approvals, handle multi-currency POs, and maintain full traceability with three-way matching and budget tracking.
Automatically generated internal tools that let your entire operations, production, and finance teams interact with live data securely—clean, fast interfaces with no training required.
We start by deeply understanding how you actually make things—your production stages, terminology, team structure, and edge cases. Nothing is assumed. Your real-world workflow becomes the blueprint for the entire system build.
See how fast-moving teams have transformed their production operations with Keel's custom-built systems.
Keel isn't just software—it's a platform built by operators, for operators, with the hard-won experience of scaling production systems that genuinely work under pressure.
Founded by the team who built production software scaling to 50k daily shipments—we understand manufacturing complexity from the inside.
You own and control your system, data model, and workflows—no vendor lock-in, no rigid templates dictating how you operate.
Unlike legacy ERP implementations that take months, Keel gets your custom production system live and your team operating confidently in weeks.
As your production processes evolve, your system evolves with you—iterate and extend workflows without large dev teams or expensive change requests.
Operators who built mission-critical production software at scale.
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 founders built and ran custom software systems that shipped 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily, growing Echo to $130 million in annual revenue. They didn't set out to build so much custom tooling, but discovered that off-the-shelf options were simply too inflexible for complex, regulated operations. That firsthand experience of building production and operations software under real pressure—and seeing the competitive advantage it created—became the foundation for Keel. In 2024, Keel raised $6 million in seed funding from leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe, backing the mission to empower operators everywhere with flexible, powerful systems they truly own.
A Production Management System (PMS) is software designed to plan, track, and control manufacturing operations from raw materials through to finished goods. It manages production batches, scheduling, quality control checkpoints, resource allocation, and traceability. A well-implemented PMS connects your production workflow to orders, inventory, and delivery—giving operators complete visibility and control over how things are made.
