Real-Time Tool Tracking
Track every tool across your facility in real time. Know exactly where each item is, who checked it out, and when it's expected back — with barcode scanning and live status updates built in.
Stop losing tools, chasing paper logs, or managing spreadsheets that never reflect reality. Keel's custom tool room inventory software gives you real-time visibility over every tool — who has it, where it is, and when it's due back. Built around your exact workflows, not a rigid template, so your team can track, manage, and control tools with total confidence from day one.
Everything you need to track, manage, and control your tool room — built precisely around your operations.
Track every tool across your facility in real time. Know exactly where each item is, who checked it out, and when it's expected back — with barcode scanning and live status updates built in.
Streamline tool borrowing with structured check-in and check-out workflows. Assign tools to users or job sites, enforce return deadlines, and eliminate the chaos of informal lending.
Schedule and track preventive maintenance, calibration, and inspections for every tool. Receive automated alerts before due dates so nothing slips through the cracks.
Run cycle counts, generate utilisation reports, and maintain a complete audit trail for every tool movement — without shutting down operations or relying on manual paperwork.
Set custom alerts for overdue returns, low stock on consumables, maintenance windows, or missing tools — delivered as push notifications directly where your team needs them most.
Define exactly who can access, check out, or approve tool requests. Custom user roles ensure the right people have the right access at every level of your organisation.
Off-the-shelf tool tracking tools force your team into rigid workflows that don't match how you actually operate. Keel builds custom tool room inventory software that mirrors your exact processes — your terminology, your check-out rules, your maintenance schedules. Whether you're managing hundreds of hand tools or a complex mix of equipment across multiple sites, you get real-time visibility, a complete audit trail, and the confidence that nothing goes missing or unaccounted for.

Operators who've been in your shoes, building the tools 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 founders built and owned custom software that shipped 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily, scaling the business to $130m in annual revenue. They experienced first-hand how inflexible, legacy off-the-shelf systems couldn't keep up with a fast-moving, highly regulated operation. That frustration led them to build Keel — the platform they wished had existed. Headquartered in Altrincham, Cheshire, and backed by leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe following a $6m seed raise in 2024, Keel is on a mission to empower operators everywhere with flexible, powerful software they truly own.
Tool room inventory software is a system that lets you track, manage, and control all the tools and equipment in your facility. It records who has each tool, where it is, its maintenance status, and its full movement history. Unlike spreadsheets, a dedicated system provides real-time visibility and automated alerts, eliminating manual tracking errors and lost tools.
