The digitalisation of pharmacies in Ireland has taken a significant leap forward with the strategic collaboration between LUDA Partners, the Spanish startup leading digital pharmacy networks, and Just Eat, the global food delivery platform. This partnership not only transforms how Irish pharmacies operate but also opens up a new channel for them to access digital customers and increase revenues through online sales.
Since entering the Irish market earlier this year, LUDA Partners has revolutionised the pharmaceutical sector by providing pharmacies with the ability to sell online without requiring technical expertise. Through their collaboration with Just Eat, pharmacies can offer a wide range of products—such as first aid, baby food, sexual health, hygiene, and cosmetics—directly to consumers in as little as 30 minutes.
Expanding Market Opportunities for Pharmacies
The exponential growth of online shopping has created a unique opportunity for Irish pharmacies. Thanks to LUDA Partners’ digital network, over 30 pharmacies across Ireland are already benefiting from this initiative. By tapping into Just Eat’s 1.1 million users in Ireland, in cities such as Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Galway, these pharmacies have significantly increased their visibility and online sales.
The integration is effortless for pharmacists. LUDA handles the logistics and technical aspects, allowing pharmacies to focus on serving customers. Orders are processed through the Just Eat platform, with pharmacies simply preparing the items for delivery once notified. This eliminates the burden of packaging or complex logistics, ensuring pharmacies can easily compete in the fast-paced digital marketplace.
A New Avenue for Growth and Competitiveness
As the demand for convenient and fast delivery services continues to rise, LUDA Partners remains committed to helping pharmacies adapt to this new reality. By leveraging their digital network, Irish pharmacies now have the opportunity to reach more customers, especially those who have shifted their buying habits to online channels. The average pharmacy billing through this new channel is €2,700 per month, creating a significant boost to their overall revenue.
Looking Ahead: Digitalising Irish Pharmacies
LUDA Partners’ collaboration with Just Eat marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of Irish pharmacy services. By digitising their operations, pharmacies can stay competitive, enhance customer satisfaction, and meet the growing demand for online healthcare solutions. As LUDA Partners continues to expand its network, more pharmacies will have the chance to thrive in this digital-first world without the need for upfront investments.
