Royal Pharmacy, one of Kuwait’s leading healthcare retail providers, has successfully launched a new eCommerce website and mobile applications as part of a wider digital transformation aimed at enhancing customer experience and improving operational efficiency across its retail network.

The transformation was delivered by UAE-based Techies Infotech, an AI-driven eCommerce and digital transformation agency, and replaces a legacy system that limited agility and created operational bottlenecks. The new platform brings together eCommerce, mobile applications, customer relationship management (CRM), and loyalty capabilities into a single, unified framework.

“By unifying eCommerce, mobile, CRM, and loyalty functions within a single framework, Royal Pharmacy has established an infrastructure that can adapt to evolving customer expectations and market demands,” said Anurag Byala, CEO of Techies Infotech.

Built with healthcare retail requirements in mind, the platform architecture enables accurate inventory management, shorter fulfilment timelines, and improved coordination between digital orders and physical pharmacy locations. These capabilities are particularly critical in the pharmacy sector, where reliability, speed, and transparency directly influence customer trust.

Strategic platform migration for future growth

As part of the initiative, Royal Pharmacy completed a full migration from legacy systems to Shopify Plus, supported by React Native mobile applications and a fully integrated CRM layer. The modernised ecosystem creates a single source of truth across digital and physical operations, while ensuring compliance, reliability, and scalability as the business expands.

“We’ve built a platform that extends our physical retail presence into the digital space, creating a seamless, intelligent experience for our customers across all touchpoints,” said a spokesperson from Royal Pharmacy.

The unified commerce environment allows the brand to manage growing transaction volumes while maintaining the operational discipline required in healthcare retail.

Enterprise-grade infrastructure tailored to pharmacy operations

The new platform has been designed to address several operational challenges unique to pharmacy networks. Intelligent order routing automatically directs customer orders to the most suitable branch based on predefined logic, improving fulfilment speed and optimising inventory utilisation across locations.

React Native applications for iOS and Android deliver a consistent mobile experience, offering real-time synchronisation with backend systems and instant visibility into orders and loyalty balances. Customer rewards are embedded directly into the commerce journey, allowing points to be earned and redeemed seamlessly while generating valuable data to support personalised engagement strategies.

Shopify Plus underpins the system with enterprise-grade security and stability, enabling Royal Pharmacy to manage complex product catalogues, regulatory requirements, and high traffic volumes with greater efficiency.

Industry impact

Royal Pharmacy’s digital transformation reflects a broader shift across Middle Eastern healthcare retail, as unified commerce platforms increasingly replace fragmented legacy systems. With rising consumer expectations for convenience, speed, and transparency, integrated eCommerce, mobile engagement, and customer data management are emerging as key competitive differentiators.

The successful launch positions Royal Pharmacy to meet growing demand for digital healthcare services while preserving the operational standards and service quality that underpin its brand reputation.
