A large pharma company in the UAE has 70+ pharmacies within the country and a delivery mechanism. They also have call centers for the customers to ask for medicine deliveries. But, the company faced some challenges due to the lack of a combined platform for all delivery processes:

Truck capacity restrictions
Special Storage requirements
Emergency security measures
Temperature changes
Difficulty in serving instant on-demand deliveries

3.Delivery Notifications: From product ordering to its delivery, the customers get notified about their pharma consignment’s progress. They can navigate the route, get the estimated time of product arrival in real-time.
