Entering the market for the delivery of pharmacy products

Such interaction will significantly expand the range of pharmacy points, especially in remote settlements, speed up the movement of the necessary drugs from the manufacturer and distributor to the end point, as well as save on logistics and reduce costs within the distribution chain by 25%.

The Post noted that at the end of May 2020, we are talking about delivery to the pharmacy. In the future, the Russian Post is working on the function of contactless courier delivery of medicines from the pharmacy to the final buyer.

In partnership with industry aggregator sites and marketplaces, Russian Post will be responsible for logistics and operations with goods, including delivery to the pharmacy, and platform solutions will provide information exchange between pharmacies, distributors, pharmaceutical companies and warehouses of Russian Post.
