In a move aimed at modernising the pharmacy experience, Amazon Pharmacy has introduced a delivery service of prescription medications called ‘Same-Day Delivery’ in New York City and the greater Los Angeles area.
Leveraging AI technology and a fleet of environmentally friendly delivery vehicles, Amazon Pharmacy aims to provide convenience and efficiency to its customers.
The expansion of Same-Day Delivery is seemingly part of Amazon Pharmacy’s larger initiative to transform the traditional pharmacy model. By integrating its logistics network with advanced technologies such as AI and machine learning, Amazon Pharmacy is redefining the way prescription medications are managed and delivered.
“By bringing Amazon Pharmacy’s deliveries into our existing world-class logistics network, Amazon is building the fastest and most convenient service for the home delivery of prescription medications,” said Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores. “These faster delivery speeds will be a game changer when you or your family need your medications quickly.”
The Same-Day Delivery service utilises a variety of delivery methods tailored to each city’s needs. In densely populated areas like New York City, eco-friendly e-bikes are deployed to navigate through traffic and deliver medications directly to customers’ doors. In suburban areas, electric vans and drones are utilised to ensure swift and efficient delivery.
Furthermore, Amazon Pharmacy has established new small-format facilities stocked with the most commonly prescribed medications. These facilities enable pharmacists to process prescriptions quickly and accurately, ensuring that customers receive their medications in a timely manner. Read more
