Production Management Systems Implementation Services

Running production 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 — so you can manage batches, track every input and output, and scale manufacturing operations with total confidence.

Our Production Management Services

End-to-end production management solutions built around your exact process, from raw materials to finished goods.

Production Management

Custom batch management, scheduling, and quality control built around how you actually manufacture. Every stage, checkpoint, and transformation modelled to your process — from raw materials through to finished goods.

Inventory Management

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 Management

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.

Procurement System

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.

Order Management

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.

Fulfilment

Optimized 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.

You Own It Fully

Your data, your workflows, your system — with full version control and local development experience so your team can evolve it freely.

Operators at the Core

Built by operators who shipped 50k medicines daily — we understand what production teams actually need to run at scale.

Built by Operators, for Operators

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are production management systems?

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.

What are the 4 types of production systems?

How long does it take to implement a custom production management system?

Can the system integrate with our existing tools and hardware?

Will we own and control the system after implementation?
