The Modern Alternative to Rigid Order Management Systems

UK operations teams comparing distributed order management vendors often hit the same wall: rigid templates and US-centric roadmaps that don't fit British fulfilment networks, VAT handling or multi-currency supplier relationships. Keel flips that model. It's a programmable, code-first platform that models your exact order flows, fulfilment rules, and inventory logic from the ground up, billed in GBP with VAT added, and run by a UK-registered company (Planko Ltd, Altrincham, Cheshire) that lets you choose where your data is hosted — including in the UK. Fast-moving businesses, whether shipping high volumes like an online pharmacy or managing complex B2B order splits, get a system they truly own, can iterate on in weeks, and scale with confidence on serverless infrastructure. No bloat, no workarounds.

The Team Behind Keel

Operators who built the solution they wished had 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 operations software to ship 50,000 medicines daily to 600,000 customers, growing the business to $130m in annual revenue. They experienced first-hand how inflexible legacy systems and off-the-shelf tools couldn't scale at the speed a fast-moving business demands. That hard-won experience in a highly regulated, high-volume environment is what Keel is built on: a platform that empowers operators everywhere with flexible, powerful tools they truly own. Headquartered in Altrincham, Cheshire, and backed by leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe, Keel is on a mission to make modern operations software accessible to every ambitious team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is distributed order management?

Distributed order management (DOM) is a system that centralises and orchestrates order flows across multiple sales channels, inventory locations, and fulfilment nodes. It intelligently routes orders to the optimal fulfilment point, manages inventory allocation in real time, handles splits and backorders, and provides end-to-end visibility from order capture to final delivery—replacing the need to chase updates across disconnected systems.
