Inventory and Shipping Software for UK Businesses

Unlike off-the-shelf tools, Keel builds your inventory and shipping system around how your business actually operates—your SKU structures, your warehouse layout, your exception handling rules. There's no forcing your processes into a generic template. You own the system outright, can iterate on it freely, and integrate it with your existing tools and tech stack without compromise.

Most Keel implementations go from scoping to a production-ready system in a matter of weeks. The Keel platform's serverless infrastructure and Schema-driven approach means that what would typically take months of development with a traditional ERP or custom build can be delivered and handed over to your team significantly faster.

Yes. Keel is built for seamless API integration with platforms like Shopify and Amazon, third-party logistics providers (3PLs), financial systems, IoT devices such as smart shelves and sensors, and virtually any tool in your existing tech stack. Integrations are built into the system from day one, not added as expensive afterthoughts.

Absolutely. Keel's inventory management system provides real-time visibility across every warehouse, store, or fulfilment location—right down to the bin level. It handles stock transfers between locations, reservation tracking, barcode scanning, and multi-location reorder logic, all within a single unified system your team controls.

Keel includes full lot and batch tracking, serial number management, expiry date tracking, quarantine and hold statuses, and a complete audit trail for every inventory movement and shipment. Every change is logged with reason codes and approvals, making it suitable for regulated industries where compliance is non-negotiable.

Yes. You can set reorder points and safety stock levels, and Keel will automatically generate purchase orders factoring in supplier lead times and demand-based suggestions. The procurement module also supports multi-currency POs, structured approval workflows, three-way matching, and supplier performance tracking—all configurable to your exact purchasing process.

Your team does. Keel's Build for Me Service includes a full handover so your operators own the system completely. Internal tools are automatically generated with clean, intuitive interfaces that require no technical training. You can evolve and adapt your workflows independently without depending on Keel or an expensive development team for every change.

Yes—Keel was founded by the team behind Echo, Europe's fastest growing online pharmacy, where they built compliant software shipping 50,000 medicines daily. Keel is registered with the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO, reference ZB524558), and the platform's built-in audit trails, role-based permissions, and traceability features are designed for teams where compliance is critical.

Yes—the fulfilment module includes automated carrier selection, shipping label printing and tracking sync, configured around whichever carrier accounts your business already uses. Many UK operations run on a mix of carriers such as Royal Mail, DPD and Evri; Keel connects to those accounts rather than requiring you to switch providers.

Yes. Keel supports multi-region data residency, so you can choose where your environments are hosted, including in the UK. Keel is also registered with the UK's data protection authority, the ICO (reference ZB524558), and processes data as a UK GDPR processor under the Data Protection Act 2018.

Yes—order management handles taxes as part of the order lifecycle alongside pricing, discounts and credit terms, so VAT is applied and tracked with each order rather than reconciled separately. For VAT-registered UK businesses this keeps order records consistent with Making Tax Digital reporting.
