Our Warehouse Control Software Services

End-to-end warehouse software solutions — from inventory and fulfilment to procurement and order management — built around your operations.

Warehouse Management

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.

Inventory Management

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.

Fulfilment

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.

Order Management

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.

Procurement 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.

Production Management

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.

The Keel Difference

Why Choose Keel for Warehouse Control Software?

Keel was built by operators who lived the pain of inflexible legacy systems — and built the solution they wished existed.

Built by Operators

Founded by executives who shipped 50,000 medicines daily — we understand warehouse complexity from the inside out.

Live in Weeks

Launch your tailored warehouse control system in weeks, not months, with full team handover and complete ownership.

Total Ownership

You own your data, your workflows, and your system. Iterate freely without depending on vendor roadmaps or expensive consultants.

Infinitely Flexible

From your unique pick strategies to complex compliance requirements, every rule and exception is built in — not worked around.

The Team Behind Keel

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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is warehouse control software and how is it different from a WMS?

A Warehouse Management System (WMS) handles high-level inventory and order workflows, while warehouse control software (WCS) manages the real-time execution layer — directing equipment, workers, and processes on the warehouse floor. Keel bridges both, delivering a fully custom system that handles inventory, picking, packing, shipping, and automation in one unified platform tailored to your exact operation.

How long does a warehouse control software implementation typically take?

Can Keel integrate with our existing systems, carriers, and e-commerce platforms?

Do we need a large in-house development team to implement or maintain the system?

How is Keel different from off-the-shelf warehouse management software?

Does Keel support multi-location warehouses and complex inventory structures?
