Foodpanda partners with Servaid

LAHORE: Enhancing the e-commerce avenues, foodpanda, Pakistan’s leading delivery app, has partnered with Servaid Pharmacy to deliver medicines and other pharmaceutical products via pandago, a rider on demand service, a statement said.

A signing ceremony took place in Lahore, attended by Raafay Munir, head of New Verticals foodpanda, and Tahir Abbas, chief commercial officer, Servaid.

Under the strategic partnership, foodpanda’s wide network of more than 50,000 riders will enable Servaid to deliver medicines and other pharmaceutical products in real-time through pandago, which is a logistics-as-a-service solution for businesses.

Munir said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Servaid, as our strategic partner for pandago. With foodpanda’s strong logistical network, pandago will allow Servaid to grow their business, while ensuring seamless deliveries by requesting a rider via pangado. We are committed to ensure the well-being of our communities, their health and safety and this partnership will definitely benefit the end user, especially, amid such testing times.”

He said: “While speed and convenience have become top priorities of [the] customers in changing times, we aim to bring forth enhanced accessibility and value by drastically reducing the delivery duration/order to under 30 minutes.”

Tahir Abbas, chief commercial officer of Servaid, said: “We are excited to partner with foodpanda and reach out to a wider customer base as our deliveries are being taken care of. This strategic collaboration is in line with our vision of serving the customers in these testing times and prioritising their health and wellbeing, delivering lifesaving medicines to their doorstep real-time.”
