London businesses running complex stock operations deserve more than spreadsheets and rigid off-the-shelf tools. Keel is a UK-registered company that builds custom inventory management software — not physical storage — giving you total real-time visibility, automated reordering and full compliance, whether your stock sits on-site, in a storage unit or with a 3PL.
End-to-end operations software built around your business — from stock control and order management to fulfilment and procurement.
Custom inventory software with real-time tracking, batch and serial number traceability, automated reorder points, multi-location stock control, and full audit trails — built to handle complexity off-the-shelf tools simply cannot.
Warehouse workflows configured exactly to your layout, naming conventions, and floor structure. Covers receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping — tailored to your team, not a rigid template.
Manage complex order flows from first click to final fulfilment in one place. Multi-channel order capture, automated allocation, backorder handling, carrier selection, and a complete order audit trail.
Streamlined pick, pack, and ship operations with wave and batch picking, barcode verification, automated carrier selection, label printing, SLA tracking, and exception handling built directly into the workflow.
Professional-grade procurement covering supplier management, purchase order creation, multi-currency support, three-way matching, structured approval workflows, and automatic inventory updates upon receipt.
Manage production batches aligned to your orders and delivery schedule. Covers raw materials through to finished goods with quality control checkpoints, stage tracking, and full traceability built into the process.
If your stock sits in a storage unit, self-storage facility or third-party warehouse across London, you still need one accurate record of what's on the shelf, in the van and on order. Keel doesn't provide storage — we build the inventory management software that tracks it. As a company registered in the United Kingdom, we replace inflexible ERPs and spreadsheets with a system modelled on how your business actually receives, holds and moves stock: real-time visibility across every location down to the bin, automated reorders that factor in supplier lead times, and compliance-ready audit trails, billed in GBP with VAT added, on infrastructure that scales as you grow.
See how fast-moving operations teams replaced legacy tools with Keel — a UK-registered platform — and gained total control of their operations, wherever they're based.
We built the platform we wished existed — here's what makes Keel the operations choice for UK businesses managing stock across multiple sites.
Every system is modelled around your actual processes, not generic templates — no unnecessary workarounds for London's unique operational demands.
Go from scoping your requirements to a fully live, production-ready custom system in weeks, not months or years.

Keel (Planko Ltd) is a company registered in the United Kingdom, based in Altrincham, Cheshire, and registered with the ICO under reference ZB524558, with the team also hiring in London. It was founded in 2021 by three former executives from Echo — Europe's fastest-growing online pharmacy, later acquired by Pharmacy2U — who served as CEO, CTO, and CPO. At Echo, they built custom operations software that shipped 50,000 medicines daily to 600,000 customers, scaling the business to $130m annual revenue. They experienced first-hand how legacy systems buckle under real growth. Keel was built because fast-moving operators everywhere shouldn't have to choose between inflexible off-the-shelf tools and expensive custom development teams. In 2024, Keel raised $6m in seed funding from Earlybird and LocalGlobe to continue building the modern ERP alternative for operations teams who need to move fast, stay compliant, and own their tools completely.
The cost of a custom inventory management system depends on complexity, number of locations, integrations and team size. Keel is priced as one fixed yearly subscription — it costs a lot less than traditional ERPs, and you won't need to double your budget for consultants to implement it. Payments are in GBP, with VAT added. Contact us for prices tailored to your operations.
