Complete Order Fulfilment Solutions & Services for UK Businesses

Keel is a software platform that powers order fulfilment operations—not a 3PL or physical warehousing provider. Managing order fulfilment shouldn't mean juggling five different systems and chasing updates manually. Keel gives UK operations teams complete visibility and control—from multi-channel order capture to carrier-synced delivery—with custom workflows built around how your business actually runs, not a rigid off-the-shelf template, billed in GBP by a UK-registered company (Planko Ltd, Altrincham, Cheshire) that lets you choose where your data is hosted, including in the UK.

Our Order Fulfilment Services

End-to-end fulfilment capabilities for UK operations—from order capture and warehouse management to inventory control and procurement.

Order Management

Manage complex order flows from first click to final fulfilment. Track every order, automate workflows, handle splits and backorders, and eliminate the need to chase updates across multiple disconnected systems.

Fulfilment

Pick, pack, and ship with complete visibility at every stage. Optimised wave and batch picking, barcode verification, automated carrier selection, label printing, tracking sync, and full SLA monitoring built in.

Warehouse Management

Custom warehouse workflows built around your layout, naming conventions, and floor structure — not a generic template. Configure receiving, picking, and packing processes exactly the way your team operates.

Inventory Management

Real-time inventory tracking across every location, down to the bin. Lot and serial number tracking, automated reorder points, barcode scanning, cycle counting, and full audit trails for compliance-ready operations.

Procurement System

From purchase request to receipt — manage suppliers, automate approvals, and streamline replenishment. Flexible PO creation, three-way matching, supplier performance tracking, and budget controls all in one place.

Production Management

Manage production batches that align with orders and delivery schedules. Track every input, transformation, and output with QC checkpoints built into the flow — modelled around your exact manufacturing process.

The Team Behind Keel

Operators who built at scale — and then built the platform they wished existed.

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 founding team built and managed custom software to run operations shipping 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily — scaling the business to $130 million in annual revenue. They experienced first-hand how legacy systems couldn't keep pace and off-the-shelf tools fell short in a highly regulated environment. That experience became the foundation for Keel: a platform built to give fast-moving operations teams total control and flexibility without needing a large engineering team. In 2024, Keel raised $6 million in seed funding from leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe, furthering its mission to empower operators everywhere with powerful tools they truly own.
