Keel flips this entirely—delivering a fully customisable inventory platform that mirrors how your retail business actually works. From real-time stock visibility across every location to automated reorders, barcode scanning, IoT integrations, and seamless Shopify or Amazon sync, Keel handles the complexity that off-the-shelf tools simply can't.

See how fast-moving retail and operations teams, backed by a UK-registered, ICO-registered platform, use Keel to take full control of their inventory.
Keel was built by operators who experienced first-hand what happens when inventory tools can't keep up, and runs as a UK-registered, ICO-registered platform with GBP billing. Here's what makes us different.
Founded by former Echo executives who shipped 50k medicines daily—Keel solves real retail operational complexity from lived experience.

Built by operators who understand the real cost of broken inventory systems.
Keel was founded in 2021 by three former executives—CEO, CTO, and CPO—from Echo, Europe's fastest-growing online pharmacy, which was later acquired by Pharmacy2U. At Echo, they built custom software to manage the daily fulfilment of 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers, growing the business to $130 million in annual revenue. They discovered first-hand that off-the-shelf inventory and operations tools simply couldn't scale fast enough—so they built what they wished had existed. Keel is operated by Planko Ltd, a company registered in the United Kingdom, headquartered in Altrincham, Cheshire, with a team also hiring in London. Keel raised $6 million in seed funding in 2024 from leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe, and is on a mission to empower operators everywhere with flexible, powerful tools they truly own.
Popular inventory tools include Shopify, TradeGecko, and Cin7—but these off-the-shelf options often lack the flexibility retailers need as they scale. Keel offers a fully customisable alternative that adapts to your exact workflows, SKU structure, and multi-location setup, giving you the power of enterprise software without the rigidity or the enterprise price tag.
