Expansion of Prescription Delivery Service by V・drug and anyCarry

In a move to enhance patient convenience and streamline services, Chubu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., part of the Valor Group, has partnered with anyCarry to expand their prescription delivery service offered through the V・drug pharmacies. Starting December 15, 2025, this service will be available in seven locations, increasing from the original two pharmacies that launched the initiative on October 30, 2023, in Nagoya.

Overview of the Expansion

The new deployment will see V・drug's immediate prescription delivery service extend from the initial two pharmacies to five additional locations. This expansion includes not just prescriptions, but also general over-the-counter medications and daily necessities, making it a more comprehensive service for customers. The delivery system will now utilize anyCarry's shared delivery network, thus improving both the reliability and efficiency of the logistics involved.

Key Improvements in Service Expansion

This expansion goes beyond merely increasing the number of pharmacies involved; it aims to improve both service quality and operational efficiency significantly. Here’s how:

1. System and Delivery Structure Optimization: The company has introduced the 'anyCo Biz' service for businesses, allowing for comprehensive management of deliveries from dispatch requests to completion via the web. This enhancement enables real-time tracking of delivery status, reducing the workload for on-site pharmacy staff. Transitioning from a time-based pricing model to a volume-based structure within the anyCarry shared delivery network also offers cost efficiency and sustainable service operations.

2. Increased Patient Convenience with Simultaneous Deliveries: Customers can now have their prescriptions along with other health products, wellness items, and daily essentials delivered at the same time. This significant adjustment not only reduces the frequency of in-store visits but also consolidates customers’ needs, allowing them to receive everything conveniently at home.

Future Directions

Chubu Pharmaceutical aims to advance its digital transformation by focusing on prescription delivery services. By leveraging the last-mile logistics expertise from anyCarry and its community-centric pharmacy network, the company is committed to enhancing service quality and broadening the service area. This strategic direction is geared towards contributing to healthier and more fulfilling lives for local residents.
