‘At the end of every one of our prescriptions is a patient… our collaboration offers unique opportunities that we might not have if we were a stand-alone pharmacy sitting somewhere else.’
The Challenge
Medvantx, a prominent online pharmacy, empowers patients to order prescriptions online for quick and secure home delivery. To support their rapid growth, they sought a logistics provider that could match their scale and ensure excellent service. The key challenge was ensuring temperature-sensitive medications were shipped securely while consistently achieving Next Day delivery to all 50 states.
The Solution
To address these needs, Medvantx and UPS Healthcare developed a unique, end-of-runway pharmacy embedded within the UPS Healthcare operations in Louisville, Kentucky. This joint effort positioned their fulfilment centre adjacent to UPS Worldport, one of the most advanced logistics hubs globally. This strategic location enabled temperature-controlled shipping and expedited Next Day delivery capabilities across the nation.
The Results
Since launching this logistics collaboration with UPS Healthcare, Medvantx has significantly expanded their capacity. They now manage 50% more shipments compared to the start of the collaboration, ensuring the safe delivery of temperature-sensitive medications while maintaining a reliable and consistent service for patients. By 2025, Medvantx plans to expand its operations further, enhancing its capacity to serve even more patients and improve the online pharmacy experience.
