NimbleRx, a Redwood City, CA-based platform providing independent pharmacies the ability to offer convenient, online delivery, today announced a partnership with Uber Health to offer safe, contactless prescription delivery from pharmacies in Seattle, WA, and Dallas, TX, and soon, other parts of the country. The service, which is fully integrated with Uber’s platform, is currently live throughout the Seattle and Dallas metro areas.
Why It Matters
Consumer habits have changed rapidly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the current health crisis and ongoing social-distancing guidelines in place, it is more critical than ever for people to receive their prescriptions directly and efficiently. NimbleRx is a two-sided marketplace that works directly with independent and regional pharmacies to utilize its delivery platform, and offers consumers a simplified pharmacy experience through multiple online delivery options. Uber Health’s direct integration with the Nimble platform is providing consumers with an additional option to quickly receive their prescription deliveries without needing to leave their homes.
Currently, Nimble offers next-day delivery to 70% of the population of the United States, and same-day delivery to 30%. As delivery demand has increased in hotspots around the country, Nimble has seen demand increase from retail pharmacies nationwide, partly due to increased requests from the senior population.
Expansion Plans
Following the initial launches in Seattle and Dallas, Nimble and Uber Health are already working to expand the partnership in additional regions across the United States. To date, Nimble has completed over 15,000 deliveries via the partnership with Uber Health.
