Pilulka24 Case Study Online Pharmacy's Enduring E-commerce Success
The online store Pilulka24 is a project of an internet pharmacy that started as a start-up from ui42 in 2012. In a short period of time, Pilulka24 rapidly established itself in the Slovak market. It became the largest online pharmacy with additional advisory services provided by certified pharmacists.
The nomination in the Heureka ShopRoku competition in 2013 in the Beauty and Health category (as the only pharmacy) and multiple placements in subsequent years confirmed that Pilulka24 became the highest-rated online pharmacy in Slovakia. After the acquisition, the online pharmacy became part of the Pilulka.sk project.
Key milestones of cooperation
2012 - Launch of the Pilulka24
Online Pharmacy Project We launched the online pharmacy in June 2012 as an e-shop offering a range of medicines, medical supplies, dietary supplements, and cosmetics. A supplementary service included fast and professional consultation within 24 hours. The e-shop was supported by the BUXUS content management system, integrated with the pharmacy information system, inventory management, and other components.
2013 - Nomination in the Heureka ShopRoka
Competition After a short period of existence, the project was nominated in the 2013 e-shop competition, Heureka ShopRoka, in the Beauty and Health category. As the only pharmacy, Pilulka24 established itself as a competitor among the most well-known sellers of cosmetics, perfumes, and jewelry. The success of Pilulka24 was evidenced by references from satisfied customers, making it the most popular online pharmacy in Slovakia.
2018 - Pilulka24.sk becomes Pilulka.sk
A successful acquisition in 2018 placed the Pilulka24 online pharmacy under the network of the third-largest operator of brick-and-mortar stores and online pharmacies in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Today, customers can shop at the Pilulka.sk online pharmacy, whose co-owner expressed the intention to build upon the success of the previous format.
