Yandex Robots Begin Delivering Medicines in Moscow
The project is being carried out in partnership with the 36.6 pharmacy chain.
The 36.6 pharmacy chain and Yandex Delivery have launched a medicine delivery pilot in Moscow. The service is currently being tested in eight districts of the capital: Khamovniki, Danilovsky, Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye, Tverskoy, Aeroport, Zamoskvorechye, Savyolovsky and Arbat. Customers can order over-the-counter medicines, including painkillers, antiviral drugs and allergy treatments, as well as cosmetics, dietary supplements and other pharmacy products.
Customers can place orders through the 366.ru and Gorzdrav websites or the pharmacy chains’ apps. Deliveries can be tracked through Yandex Go.
If the pilot proves successful, St. Petersburg could be the next city to get the service. Other businesses may also join the project. Yandex Delivery offers two options: delivery to the entrance of the building or directly to the customer's apartment door, with a courier involved in the latter.
