Prescription-grade last mile.

Insulin can't sit in a Lagos sun for three hours. Antibiotics can't ride with a stranger. We filter the carrier pool on temperature, signed delivery, and parcel value before the quote ever returns — so the courier you book is the one who can actually carry the parcel.

What breaks today

Pharmacy, in three honest lines.

Cold chain
Most couriers can't carry chilled.
Insulin, vaccines, biologics need 2–8°C end to end. Carriers without insulated bags are excluded at quote time with a per-carrier reason, so your buyer never picks a tier we can't fulfil.
Patient identity
Prescriptions need a signature, not a gate-drop.
signedDelivery=true is enforced before the rider rolls out. Carriers without signature capture drop out of the quote. The signed POD lands on the shipment record as audit evidence.
₦20k+
High-value parcels need insurance.
Pass insuredValueKobo and the platform auto-applies an insurance rider where the carrier supports it, and refuses to dispatch where it doesn't.
What we built for pharmacy

Four primitives. One API.

Temperature filtering at quote time.
temperature: ambient | chilled | frozen runs before the carrier fan-out. inDrive and bicycle couriers fall out for chilled; only certified cold-chain providers (Uber Direct Cold, partner fleets) survive.
Signed delivery + photo POD by default.
signedDelivery=true enforces signature capture; the rider's app records both the recipient's name and a drawn signature image. Photo POD lands on every shipment, indexed by shipment id.
Insurance routing.
insuredValueKobo gets mapped to the carrier's insurance tier where supported. Carriers that don't insure to your declared value drop out so a ₦2M box never goes uninsured by accident.
Recipient verification webhook.
shipment.delivered.signed fires with the captured recipient name + signature URL so your pharmacy management system can match it back to the original prescription record.
Sample call

The shortest path from your stack to a dispatched rider.

inDrive and Fez fall out for cold chain + signed delivery — you see exactly why. Only the carrier that can carry the parcel quotes a price. Buyer-facing UI never offers a tier we can't fulfil.

Questions

What pharmacy integrators ask first.

Which carriers carry chilled today?
Uber Direct Cold is live in Lagos and Abuja. Our in-house network covers Lekki + Ikoyi with insulated bag inventory. Frozen tier is in pilot for 2026 — talk to us if your SKUs need it.
Do you support controlled-substance schedules?
Yes for Schedule III–V via signed delivery + recipient verification webhook. Schedule II and narcotic dispatches require additional regulatory scaffolding — talk to logistics@theyutes.com before integrating.
What's the SLA on rescue prescriptions (asthma, insulin)?
Set serviceLevel="express" and pass priority="rescue" in notes. The orchestrator weights quote ranking toward pickupEtaMinutes ≤ 8 and we keep two-rider redundancy on rescue lanes inside Lagos mainland + island. P95 dispatch within 12 min.
