Warehouse Management Services and Solutions for UK Teams

Running a UK warehouse with off-the-shelf software means working around the tool instead of with it. Keel builds warehouse management software—not a physical warehousing, 3PL, or facilities-management service—shaped entirely around your layout, your workflows, and your team, with GBP billing and UK data residency options. Real-time visibility, seamless fulfilment, and the operational control to scale confidently without the rigidity of legacy enterprise platforms.

Our Warehouse Management Services

End-to-end warehouse solutions built around your exact operations for UK teams, from receiving and put-away through to fulfilment and returns.

Warehouse Management

Custom warehouse workflows built around your layout, naming conventions, and floor structure. Receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping—configured exactly to your process, not a rigid template.

Inventory Management

Real-time inventory tracking across every location, down to the bin. Lot and serial number tracking, automated reorders, expiry management, and a complete audit trail built for compliance-critical operations.

Order Fulfilment

Pick, pack, and ship with optimised wave, batch, and zone-based picking, barcode verification, automated carrier selection, label printing, and full SLA tracking from order entry to final delivery.

Order Management

Manage complex multi-channel order flows from first click to final fulfilment. Automate warehouse rules, handle splits and backorders, and maintain a complete audit trail even at high volumes.

Procurement System

Manage suppliers, automate approvals, and streamline replenishment from purchase request to receipt. Includes three-way matching, PO-based receiving, discrepancy handling, and automatic inventory updates.

Production Management

Manage daily workloads and production batches matched to your orders. Full traceability from raw materials to finished goods, with QC checkpoints, batch scheduling, and custom stage definitions built in.

Total Operational Control

Warehouse Software Built to Match How You Actually Operate

UK warehouse teams searching for warehouse management often find the results mixed with physical 3PL and facilities-management providers—but Keel is warehouse management software, not a warehousing, 3PL, or facilities-management service. Most warehouse platforms force you to adapt your operations to fit their template. Keel does the opposite. We build your warehouse management system around your exact layout, workflows, and team—so every exception, every special handling rule, and every unique process is built in, not worked around. With real-time visibility across every location, automated fulfilment logic, GBP billing, UK data residency options, and seamless integrations with your existing tools and carriers, Keel gives fast-moving UK operations teams the control and flexibility that off-the-shelf software simply cannot deliver.

Built by Operators, For Operators

Meet the team behind Keel's warehouse management platform.

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, they personally built the custom software that powered operations shipping 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily—scaling the business to $130m in annual revenue. That first-hand experience of outgrowing off-the-shelf tools in a highly regulated environment is precisely what drove them to build Keel. They wanted to give every operations team the same competitive advantage: powerful, flexible software they truly own. Headquartered in Altrincham, Cheshire, and registered with the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO, reference ZB524558), Keel has since raised $6m in seed funding from leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe, and continues to build the modern alternative to legacy warehouse and ERP platforms for fast-moving teams everywhere.
