Retail operations move fast—and your procurement tools need to keep up. Keel's custom retail procurement software gives UK retail teams total control over supplier management, purchase orders, approvals, and replenishment. Built around how your retail business actually operates, not a rigid off-the-shelf template, so you can reduce stockouts, control spend, and scale with confidence.
End-to-end procurement tools built for UK retail—from supplier onboarding and performance tracking to automated replenishment, three-way matching, and a procurement process you fully control.
Manage suppliers, automate purchase orders, and streamline replenishment with flexible PO creation, multi-currency support, structured approvals, supplier performance tracking, contract and pricing terms, and a complete audit trail from requisition to receipt.
Real-time stock visibility across every retail location and SKU, with automated reorder points, lot tracking, barcode scanning, and demand-based replenishment suggestions to eliminate stockouts.
Track every purchase order from entry to delivery, automate approval workflows, manage backorders and splits, and maintain full audit control—even at high retail volumes.
Custom warehouse workflows built around your retail layout—receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping configured exactly to your process, team structure, and handling rules.
Auto-generated, intuitive internal tools for your procurement, finance, and operations teams—giving everyone secure, role-based access to the data they need, instantly and without training.
Streamline retail fulfilment with wave and batch picking, barcode verification, automated carrier selection, SLA tracking, and a complete audit trail for every outbound shipment.
Off-the-shelf procurement tools force your UK retail team to adapt to rigid workflows—Keel does the opposite. We model your supplier relationships, approval hierarchies, budget structures, and replenishment logic exactly as they exist in your business, 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. Whether you're managing a single UK retail brand or a multi-location operation, Keel gives you a professional-grade procurement stack you truly own, can iterate on quickly, and can scale without expensive consultants or months of implementation cycles.

Keel was built by operators who lived the pain of inflexible software—here's what makes our platform different for UK retail teams.
Founded by former Echo executives who built procurement systems shipping 50k orders daily—we understand real retail complexity.
Launch your tailored retail procurement system in weeks, not months—with full ownership handed to your team from day one.
Planko Ltd is a UK-registered company (Altrincham, Cheshire) and ICO registered under reference ZB524558. Billing is in GBP with VAT added, and multi-region hosting lets you choose where your data lives, including in the UK.
Unlike legacy ERPs, Keel gives you full data ownership, version control, and the agility to evolve your system as your retail business grows.
Operators who built enterprise-scale software and then created a better way.
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 procurement and operations software from the ground up, managing 50,000 daily medicine shipments to 600,000 customers and scaling the business to $130m annual revenue. They experienced first-hand how legacy off-the-shelf software couldn't keep pace with a fast-moving operation—so they built Keel, the platform they wished had existed. Since then, Keel has raised $6m in seed funding from leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe, and is on a mission to empower retail operators everywhere with flexible, powerful tools they truly own.
The best procurement software depends on your business complexity. Large enterprises often use SAP Ariba or Coupa, but these are expensive and rigid. For fast-moving retail teams, a custom-built platform like Keel offers a better fit—delivering professional-grade procurement with supplier management, automated POs, approval workflows, and budget tracking, all configured to your exact processes and owned outright by your team.
