Order Fulfilment Software for UK Operations Teams

Running order fulfilment across multiple UK channels shouldn't mean juggling five different systems — and Keel doesn't store, pick or pack your stock for you, we build the fulfilment software the operation runs on. Whether you fulfil in-house or work with a 3PL, Keel gives you complete visibility from first click to final despatch, with pick, pack and ship workflows, carrier integrations, SLA tracking and exception handling built around exactly how your business operates, billed in GBP with VAT added.

The Team Behind Keel

Operations veterans who have built and scaled fulfilment at the highest level.

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 founders built custom software that shipped 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily, growing the business to $130 million in annual revenue. They discovered first-hand that off-the-shelf tools couldn't scale at the pace modern operations demand, so they built the solution they wished had existed. Keel (Planko Ltd) is a company registered in the United Kingdom, headquartered in Altrincham, Cheshire, with the team also hiring in London, and registered with the ICO under reference ZB524558. In 2024, Keel raised $6 million in seed funding from Earlybird and LocalGlobe, backing the team's mission to empower operators everywhere with flexible, powerful tools they truly own.
