Running a UK production line on spreadsheets and disconnected tools is costing you time, visibility, and control. Keel builds custom production management systems modelled around your exact process - your stages, your terminology, your quality checkpoints - covering production planning, scheduling, and shop-floor workflow tracking, hosted wherever you choose including the UK. Manage batches, track every input and output, and scale manufacturing operations with total confidence.
End-to-end production management solutions built around your exact process, from raw materials to finished goods.
Custom production planning, scheduling, capacity planning, and quality control built around how you actually manufacture on the shop floor. Every stage, checkpoint, and transformation modelled to your process - from raw materials through to finished goods, with full workflow tracking end to end.
Real-time inventory tracking across every location and SKU, with lot and batch tracking, automated reorders, and full traceability from receipt to shipment — built to handle complexity off-the-shelf tools can't.
Warehouse workflows built around your layout, naming conventions, and team structure. Receiving, put-away, picking, and packing configured to your exact processes — including unique exceptions and special handling rules.
Professional-grade procurement from purchase request to receipt. Manage suppliers, automate approvals, handle PO creation, and maintain full budget tracking with three-way matching and a complete audit trail.
Manage complex order flows from first click to final fulfilment. Automate warehouse rules, carrier selection, and pick/pack workflows while maintaining complete visibility across every order at high volumes.
Optimised wave, batch, and zone-based picking with barcode verification, automated carrier selection, label printing, and SLA tracking — giving you complete visibility and control over every shipment.
We start by deeply understanding how you make things — your stages, your terminology, your quality checkpoints, and the exceptions your team handles daily. No assumptions, no generic manufacturing templates imposed on your operation.

We build production management systems the way they should be - modelled around your process, owned by your team, built to scale, and backed by UK data protection registration.
We model your exact production stages, terminology, and checkpoints — not generic manufacturing assumptions.
Go from discovery to a fully operational production system in weeks, not months of drawn-out enterprise implementation.

Built by operators who shipped 50k medicines daily — we understand what production teams actually need to run at scale.
Meet the team behind Keel's production management expertise.
Keel was founded in 2021 by three former executives from Echo — Europe's fastest growing online pharmacy, later acquired by Pharmacy2U — who served as CEO, CTO, and CPO. At Echo, they built custom operations software to ship 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily, growing the business to $130m in annual revenue. They didn't set out to build so much custom tooling, but off-the-shelf options were too inflexible for a highly regulated, fast-moving environment. That experience made clear how critical it is to own your operations software and iterate on it quickly. Keel is the platform they wished had existed — giving operators everywhere the power to build and own production systems as unique as their business, without needing a large development team. In 2024, Keel raised $6m in seed funding from Earlybird and LocalGlobe.
Production management systems are software platforms that help manufacturers plan, track, and control the process of turning raw materials into finished goods. They manage production batches, scheduling, quality checkpoints, resource allocation, and output tracking. A well-implemented system gives your team real-time visibility across every stage of production, reducing delays, errors, and operational blind spots while connecting production data to inventory, procurement, and fulfilment.
