KeepSpace Journey

How it all began in KeepSpace

KeepSpace started up in May 2016, and we’ve been on an epic ride ever since. From our beginnings as a travelling and decluttering service to a 3PL ecommerce fulfilment service and education platform.

Liked the software that we have built over the years? It’s coming down the line to be the first product we will bring to the market that will be fully functional with all of our warehouses around the world. The SAAS system will allow any ecommerce businesses with their own space to utilise it.

We have worked closely with ecommerce companies for over 7 years and have built what they needed to grow and expand internationally. It has been our long-term direction to provide this software to anyone who wants to start an ecommerce company and manage their inventory in a fully featured and practical way.

All of the features and functions that we have been able to perfect and implement within our warehouses, we will provide it to all so that it will be the easiest and simplest way to implement for themselves the needs of processing orders within their locations while providing the added benefit to expand to any of our warehouses for scalability.
