The business side, in your words.

The jobs around the job — the ones that do not get done on site.

  • Invoicing after each visitRecurring customers, one-off jobs and the occasional deposit — billed before the next stop.
  • Supplies and equipmentThe receipts for products, fuel and gear that add up to real deductions.
  • Miles between customersA route-based business drives all day. The log is worth money if it exists.
  • Knowing who owes youA dozen small invoices a week is easy to lose track of.
  • What is actually yoursSeparating what you can spend from what you owe in tax.
  • No finance departmentNo bookkeeper, no office — just you and a phone between jobs.

What Keel does for you.

Everything below is in the version on the App Store today.

Jobs

Keep every job together

Every quote, estimate, expense and invoice is a step of a job, and all of it sits under that job — so you can see what a job cost, what you billed and what is still owed.

Customers

Know your customers

A small CRM built in: each customer’s jobs, invoices and payment history in one place. When someone is late, Keel drafts the reminder — you approve it before anything is sent.

Invoices

Invoice the customer

Clean PDF invoices with taxes, discounts and payment terms, sent by email, Messages or WhatsApp. Add a payment QR code; line items you have used before are suggested, priced from your own history.

Receipts

Keep receipts

Photograph a receipt while it is still in your hand and file it against the customer or the job. The photo stays on your iPhone.

Mileage

Track business mileage

Record business trips as you go, and keep the mileage log with the rest of your records. No always-on GPS tracking.

Who owes you

Know who owes you

Today opens with what needs your call: overdue invoices, accepted quotes, finished work waiting to be billed. The Outstanding widget shows who has owed you the longest.

Keel is built for an owner-operator. It is not a booking system or a team scheduling tool.
