Software built to hold steady.
Keel Automation builds custom software, AI integrations, and workflow automation for operations teams. We replace spreadsheet, inbox, and phone-based processes with portals, mobile apps, and integrations that frontline staff actually use, delivered by the owner from requirements through production support.

What we build and operate.
The same five areas named in our one-page capability statement.
Custom operations portals and web apps
Intake, dispatch, status tracking, documents, and billing in one place frontline staff use daily.
Native iOS and Android apps
One codebase for iOS and Android, with offline support for field crews.
AI integrations
Cut manual review, data re-keying, and document handling with practical AI tied to your workflows.
System integration and data sync
Salesforce, Google Workspace, Stripe, Twilio, and telephony APIs connected so data moves once, not by hand.
Secure multi-tenant data design
Role-based access and row-level security on PostgreSQL for project-scoped, auditable records.
Why a small sub is the right sub.
Owner-led
The person who scopes the work writes and supports the code.
Consolidation
We replace stacks of SaaS subscriptions with one system the client controls.
Milestone delivery
Fixed-scope milestones sized for small and mid-size task orders.
Veteran discipline
Founded and run by a U.S. Army veteran and former NCO who brings mission planning and accountability to every delivery.
How primes use us on a pursuit.
- Subcontractor for custom software, portal, mobile, and integration scopes
- Right-sized for work too small to justify a large enterprise integrator
- Tampa Bay based, available on site for requirements work across Florida
Commercial work in flight; federal references on request.

From intro to operate.
- 01
Introduce
Email or call. We send the capability statement and confirm NAICS fit within one business day.
- 02
Scope
A 30-minute call on the requirement or the pursuit. We say plainly whether it fits and what we would own.
- 03
Propose
Fixed-price quote, teaming letter, or a section of the technical volume, with past-performance narrative.
- 04
Deliver & operate
Weekly demos during the build, then monitoring and support under the same agreement.
Controls we ship with, not add later.
Defaults on every Keel build, including multi-tenant PostgreSQL with row-level security.
Row-level security
Enabled and forced on every table; access scoped per project, not just per organization.
Multi-factor authentication
TOTP MFA required for all internal and administrative access.
Secrets management
No secrets in client code. Privileged operations run in server-side functions only.
Audit logging
Every create, update, delete, and AI tool call is written to an append-only audit log.
Data residency
US-hosted infrastructure (Supabase, Netlify). Client data is never mixed across tenants.
Least privilege
Role-scoped UI and API; financial data visible to owners only.
