Mechanism for the development of digital transformation of transport and logistics activities

Abstract

In modern economic conditions, the management of transport and logistics flows is associated with the universal penetration of digital technologies. Digitalization allows for the optimization of the entire supply chain, including transportation and warehousing operations. Digital technologies provide opportunities to increase the economic efficiency of business processes in logistics, improve the safety and quality of transport and logistics flow management, and enhance the competitiveness of entities in transport and logistics systems. This article presents the research results of the mechanism for the digital transformation development of transport and logistics activities. Thedeveloped mechanism includes the process of automation and informatization of business processes; the process of combining various information technologies; the process of creating a model reflecting data online; the process of deciphering the received data; the process of compiling forecast data, as well as the process of editing the system without human intervention. The ultimate goals of developing this mechanism may be the creation of a digital product development system, the formation of a digital platform for integration into a flexible network, the creationof a digital transformation ecosystem, the implementation of flexible and integrated supply chain management, the development of a KPI system and evaluation of the effectiveness of transport and logistics activities, the selection and hiring of qualified personnel, the creation of an integrated information system and cloud data storage; as well as the implementation of electronic document management and a digital modeling and forecasting system. The comprehensive development and transformation of transport and logistics systems through their digitalization will ensure such potential results as the transition to new business models for the functioning of systems, flexible communication channels in the process of performing transport operations, as well as to products and business processes that are based on fundamentallynew approaches to information management using digital technologies, and, as a result, to a significant increase in the efficiency of transport and logistics systems and their long-term sustainability.
