Uber Direct will open its on-demand Booking platform to retailers and other businesses that want to arrange speedy delivery to customers or suppliers. Initial partners during the pilot include Cabinet, a New York-based provider of over-the-counter medicine; Pet Barn, an Australian pet food supplier; and Portugal’s postal service, CTT. It will also deliver medication in South Africa through a tie-up with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the local health service.
