The Keel Difference

Why Choose Keel for Your Inventory Implementation?

Built by operators who lived the pain of inadequate inventory tools firsthand—Keel delivers systems your team truly owns, run as a UK-registered, ICO-registered platform with GBP billing.

Built by Operators

Our founders built inventory and fulfilment systems at Echo, shipping 50k medicines daily to 600k customers — they know exactly what real operations demand.

Live in Weeks

From scoping to production deployment in weeks, not months — so your team gains control of inventory without long, costly implementation cycles.

UK-Registered, UK Data

Planko Ltd is a company registered in the United Kingdom and registered with the ICO (reference ZB524558). Multi-region data residency means you choose where your inventory data is hosted, including in the UK.

Truly Custom, Not Configured

Every workflow, exception rule, and integration is built around your exact process — not a rigid ERP template you're forced to work around.

The Team Behind Keel

Operations veterans who built the tools they wished existed.

Keel was founded in 2021 by three former executives from Echo — Europe's fastest-growing online pharmacy, later acquired by Pharmacy2U. As CEO, CTO, and CPO at Echo, the founding team built custom software to manage the shipping of 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily, scaling the business to $130m in annual revenue. They experienced firsthand how legacy off-the-shelf systems couldn't scale at the pace of a fast-moving, highly regulated operation — so they built the solution they wished had existed. Headquartered in Altrincham, Cheshire, with a team also hiring in London, and registered with the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO, reference ZB524558), Keel has since raised $6m in seed funding from leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe, and is now trusted by operators across industries who need inventory and operations software they truly own and can evolve with confidence.

Beyond basic stock counts, advanced systems handle lot and serial number tracking, automated reorder points, multi-warehouse transfers, barcode scanning, expiry date management, demand forecasting, and full audit trails — built to handle the operational complexity that off-the-shelf tools cannot.
