The fulfilment centre is in Sahakar Nagar in northern Bengaluru, on the top floor of a small building that also houses a diagnostic centre run by Medlife. Within minutes, the medicines, sourced either from pharmaceutical companies or their distributors, are sorted by workers into colourful trays on a long table. The workers then check the name, quantity and price of the medicines against the purchase order. For this they use the internal app designed by Medlife to manage its supply chain. The products are also checked for damage and expiry date.
