The Team Behind Keel

Operators who've been in your position and built the solution they wished existed.

Keel was founded in 2021 by three former executives — CEO, CTO, and CPO — from Echo, Europe's fastest-growing online pharmacy, later acquired by Pharmacy2U. At Echo, they built custom operations software from scratch to manage the shipping of 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily, scaling the business to $130 million in annual revenue. They experienced first-hand how inflexible legacy systems and off-the-shelf tools couldn't keep pace with a fast-moving, highly regulated operation. So they built Keel — the platform they wished had existed. Headquartered in Altrincham, Cheshire, and backed by $6 million in seed funding from leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe, Keel is on a mission to empower operators everywhere with flexible, powerful software they truly own.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is custom delivery management software and how does it differ from off-the-shelf tools?

Custom delivery management software is built specifically around your business's workflows, carrier integrations, and fulfilment logic — rather than forcing you to adapt to a generic system. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, a custom solution gives you full ownership of the code and data, the ability to evolve the system as your operation changes, and no feature limitations imposed by a third-party vendor's product roadmap.
