Smart Inventory, Owned by You

Total Inventory Control Built Around Your Operations

Most inventory tools force you to work around their limitations. Keel builds a dynamic inventory optimisation system around how you actually operate — built by a company registered in the United Kingdom, not a generic dashboard. Track every unit across multiple warehouses in real time, automate reorders based on demand forecasting, supplier lead time and service-level targets, and maintain full lot, batch, and expiry traceability for complete compliance, while keeping carrying costs down instead of guessing at safety stock. Whether you're managing thousands of SKUs with unique attributes, sensitive expiry windows, or complex multi-location transfers, Keel gives you a system you own, control, and can evolve without months of development work, billed in GBP with VAT added.

The Keel Difference

Why Choose Keel for Inventory Optimisation?

Keel was built by operators who know what it takes to run complex, fast-moving supply chains—because they've done it themselves.

Fully Customisable

No rigid templates. Your inventory system is modelled around your SKUs, locations, workflows, and compliance requirements.

Launch in Weeks

You Own Your System

Full ownership of your data, logic, and workflows—with version control, audit trails, and the freedom to evolve as you grow.

The Team Behind Keel

Operators who've been in the trenches, building tools that actually work.

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 founders built custom software to run operations that shipped 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily, scaling the business to $130 million (USD) in annual revenue. They built Keel because they experienced first-hand how inflexible legacy software couldn't keep pace with a rapidly scaling business. They wanted to build the platform they wished had existed—one that gives operators everywhere the same competitive advantage that custom tooling gave them at Echo. Keel (Planko Ltd) is a company registered in the United Kingdom, headquartered in Altrincham, Cheshire, and registered with the ICO under reference ZB524558. In 2024, Keel raised $6 million (USD) in seed funding from leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe, and is trusted by growing operations teams across industries including Bravely, HIVED, Klira, and Egg.

How to improve inventory optimisation?

Improving inventory optimisation starts with real-time visibility across all locations and SKUs, combined with automated reorder points based on demand patterns and supplier lead times. Keel builds systems that eliminate manual guesswork by tracking stock levels continuously, generating purchase orders automatically, flagging anomalies via custom alerts, and providing demand-based reorder suggestions—so your team can make data-driven decisions instead of reacting to stockouts.
