Dublin, October 2024 – The digital transformation of pharmacies in Ireland has made a significant breakthrough, thanks to a strategic partnership between LUDA Partners, the Spanish startup leading the way in digital pharmacy networks, and Just Eat, the global food delivery giant. This collaboration not only reshapes the way Irish pharmacies operate but also provides a new avenue for reaching digital customers and boosting revenues through online sales.
Since LUDA Partners entered the Irish market earlier this year, the company has revolutionised the pharmaceutical landscape by enabling pharmacies to sell online without the need for technical expertise. Through their partnership with Just Eat, pharmacies can offer a broad range of products—such as first aid supplies, baby food, sexual health items, hygiene products, and cosmetics—delivered directly to consumers in as little as 30 minutes.
Expanding Opportunities for Pharmacies
The rapid growth of online shopping has opened a unique opportunity for Irish pharmacies. Through LUDA Partners’ digital network, more than 30 pharmacies across Ireland are already benefiting from this initiative. By tapping into Just Eat’s 1.1 million users in Ireland, located in cities like Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Galway, these pharmacies have seen a notable increase in visibility and online sales.
The process is seamless for pharmacists. LUDA manages the logistics and technical infrastructure, allowing pharmacies to concentrate on customer service. Orders are placed through the Just Eat platform, and pharmacies only need to prepare the items once notified for delivery, eliminating the need to handle packaging or complicated logistics. This ensures that pharmacies can easily compete in today’s fast-moving digital marketplace.
A New Growth Path for Pharmacies
With the rising demand for fast and convenient delivery services, LUDA Partners is dedicated to helping pharmacies adapt to these evolving market conditions. By utilising their digital network, Irish pharmacies now have the chance to reach more customers, especially those who have shifted their purchasing preferences to online platforms. Pharmacies selling through this new channel are generating an average of €2,700 per month in revenue, significantly boosting their earnings.
The Future of Irish Pharmacies
The partnership between LUDA Partners and Just Eat represents a turning point in the evolution of pharmacy services in Ireland. By embracing digitalisation, pharmacies can stay competitive, improve customer satisfaction, and respond to the increasing demand for online healthcare solutions. As LUDA Partners continues to grow its network, more pharmacies will be able to thrive in the digital-first environment without requiring any upfront investments.
