Pharmacy2U Invests in Scalable Warehouse Automation to Support Continued Growth and Patient Care

Logistex, SAVOYE’s integration partner in the UK, have successfully supplied an X-PTS installation for the UK’s largest digital pharmacy, Pharmacy2U.

Pharmacy2U, the UK’s largest digital pharmacy, has expanded its warehouse automation capabilities at its Bardon fulfilment centre with the successful integration of SAVOYE’s advanced X-PTS shuttle system—selected and integrated by long-standing integration partner Logistex.

This state-of-the-art automation solution is a major step in supporting Pharmacy2U’s ambitious growth strategy, enhancing operational efficiency, and ensuring exceptional service for over 1.6 million patients nationwide. Fully integrated with existing A-Frame and Pick-by-Light systems, the X-PTS shuttle enables rapid, precise handling of slow-moving and sensitive medications—boosting speed, accuracy, and traceability.

The X-PTS shuttle is the ideal storage and picking solution for slow-moving medicines,” said Kevin Heath, CEO of Pharmacy2U. “This addition complements our existing Pick By Light and A Frame picking solutions. These advancements help hugely to provide an overall increase in agility, speed, and business performance that ultimately improves the service our patients receive”.

Selected and integrated by Logistex, a leading UK systems integrator, the solution includes 30 storage levels, 9,600 tote locations, and future-ready scalability—ensuring the infrastructure evolves alongside the business. The installation further strengthens the strategic partnership between Logistex and SAVOYE, built on a shared commitment to delivering high-performance automation tailored to UK market needs.

The project with Pharmacy2U demonstrates the flexibility and suitability of SAVOYE’s X-PTS solution for the UK market. It is also a further success for the Logistex/SAVOYE partnership, underlining the complementary nature of SAVOYE’s X-PTS technology and Logistex’s recognised systems integration experience in the UK,” said Hervé Aubert, Director of Strategic Partnerships at SAVOYE.

We are proud to support Pharmacy2U with a scalable, precision-engineered solution that supports their growth and commitment to patient care. The strategic partnership between SAVOYE and Logistex enables SAVOYE handling equipment to be integrated into Logistex solutions. The partnership is based on excellent business relations and on the experience gained from successful collaboration on previous projects,
