How three brokerage shapes actually roll out Keelway.
Each profile below walks the full deployment of a representative brokerage at a specific shape — what week-1 looked like, what changed at month-3, and what the metrics looked like by month-12. These are composite reference profiles drawn from real customer engagement patterns, written this way because most of our customers strongly prefer not to advertise their software stack to competitors. Named customer references are available on request under mutual NDA.
We do not publish fake quotes from fake customers, and we do not publish real customer names without explicit written approval. Every profile on this page is a faithful representation of how a brokerage of the stated shape deploys Keelway, drawn from our real engagement patterns and validated against the metrics we track. For named references with attributable quotes, ask in your evaluation call — we will set up a one-to-one reference.
