UK warehouses running on legacy systems or disconnected spreadsheets lose time, accuracy, and growth to workarounds—especially once VAT-ready reporting and multi-site stock enter the picture. Keel builds custom warehouse control software that fits your exact layout, workflows, and team, giving you real-time visibility from receiving dock to dispatch. Configurable, scalable, billed in GBP with UK data residency options, and fully owned by you. See why fast-moving UK operations teams choose Keel to take control.
End-to-end warehouse software solutions for UK operations teams—from inventory and fulfilment to procurement and order management—built around your operations.
Custom warehouse workflows built around your layout, naming conventions, and processes. Receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping — configured precisely to how your team operates, with no rigid templates to work around.
Real-time visibility across every location, bin, and SKU. Lot and serial tracking, automated reorders, multi-location transfers, barcode scanning, expiry management, and a full audit trail — built for operations where compliance isn't optional.
Optimised wave, batch, and zone-based picking with barcode verification, automated carrier selection, label printing, and SLA tracking. Complete visibility and control from pick to shipment, including returns processing and exception handling.
Manage complex multi-channel order flows from first click to final delivery. Automate warehouse rules, pick/pack workflows, inventory allocation, backorders, and carrier syncing — all from a single unified system.
Professional procurement stack covering supplier management, purchase orders, multi-currency support, structured approvals, three-way matching, and automatic inventory updates upon receipt — integrated with your financial systems.
Batch management, scheduling, and QC checkpoints built around your actual production stages. Trace every input and output from raw materials to finished goods, with tolerances and approvals embedded directly in your workflow.
We work with your team to document your exact warehouse layout, floor naming conventions, picking strategies, receiving workflows, and the edge cases your current tools can't handle. No assumptions — we model your reality from day one.
See how fast-moving operations teams, backed by a UK-registered, ICO-registered platform, have transformed their warehouse control with Keel.
Keel was built by operators who lived the pain of inflexible legacy systems—and built the solution they wished existed. Today, Keel is UK-registered and ICO-registered, with GBP billing and UK data residency options.
Founded by executives who shipped 50,000 medicines daily — we understand warehouse complexity from the inside out.
Launch your tailored warehouse control system in weeks, not months, with full team handover and complete ownership.
Planko Ltd is a company registered in the United Kingdom and registered with the ICO (reference ZB524558). Multi-region data residency means you choose where your warehouse data is hosted, including in the UK.
From your unique pick strategies to complex compliance requirements, every rule and exception is built in — not worked around.
Operators who built enterprise-scale systems from the ground up.
Keel was founded in 2021 by three former executives from Echo — CEO, CTO, and CPO — who grew Europe's fastest-growing online pharmacy to $130 million in annual revenue by shipping 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily. They built extensive custom software to run those operations because off-the-shelf tools simply couldn't keep pace with their growth or meet the demands of a highly regulated industry. That first-hand experience taught them that owning your operations software is a genuine competitive advantage. In 2024, Keel—headquartered in Altrincham, Cheshire, and registered with the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO, reference ZB524558)—raised $6 million in seed funding from leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe, and today the platform empowers fast-moving operations teams everywhere to build flexible, powerful systems they truly own.
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) handles high-level inventory and order workflows, while warehouse control software (WCS) coordinates the workflow and data layer that runs warehouse execution—turning orders into picking, packing, and shipping tasks and tracking them to completion. Keel bridges both, delivering a fully custom system that handles inventory, picking, packing, shipping, and order data in one unified platform tailored to your exact operation, without directly controlling physical or automation equipment.
