Keychain

What is Keychain?

Keychain is a platform for consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturing that brings clarity and convenience to the process of connecting brands and retailers with manufacturing partners. Founded by Oisin Hanrahan, creator of Angi, the platform uses AI to categorize over 500 specific manufacturing processes across more than 100,000 manufacturers and 750,000 products. The platform enables brands to search for manufacturers based on detailed production requirements, view available manufacturing line time, and reserve capacity at market rates. Keychain aims to eliminate supply chain inefficiencies, reduce time-to-market from months to weeks, and create a more transparent manufacturing ecosystem that ultimately benefits consumers through better products and lower prices.

How to use Keychain?

To use Keychain, brands and retailers can search for any product they want to manufacture by entering it into the search bar, which instantly displays hundreds of product varieties and every manufacturer capable of producing them. Users can filter results based on specific criteria such as FDA certification, production volume requirements, and manufacturing processes needed. The platform allows users to favorite manufacturers, reach out directly with the click of a button, track bids and responses, and view available manufacturing line time with transparent pricing. Manufacturers can similarly use the platform to showcase their capabilities, reach out to brands with production bids, and sell unused capacity to generate additional revenue streams.
