Technological solutions in the fi eld of transport logistics

Transport logistics is the dominant process of supply, which includes planning, execution and control of the movement of goods and services. The study examines the processes of digital transformation of the Russian transport and logistics industry. A number of current trends are analysed, such as electronic transportation documents (for all modes of transport), the development of delivery systems and logistics of marketplaces, and the beginning of large-scale commercial operation of unmanned aircraft systems. It is noted that special software and AI reduce data processing time and can perform those tasks that were previously performed by people, thereby speeding up logistics processes and reducing related costs. It is quite obvious that processes that previously required a significant time can be optimised by reducing it. The use of methods of analysis and synthesis, comparisons and generalizations in combination with a systematic approach to the study allowed us to consider the processes of digital transformation of the transport and logistics industry and their fusion on the effectiveness of logistics processes from different points of view and approaches. The demand for digitalisation in the transport and logistics system is due to the constantly growing need for the delivery of goods, regardless of the geographical distance between the counterparties. The use of modern technologies in transport logistics is likely to be able to scale supply chain processes with a significant reduction in time lag. IT technologies are the key to improving the efficiency and competitiveness of transport logistics. The paper substantiates the need to implement advanced IT solutions that will allow companies to optimise their logistics operations, improve the quality of customer service, and reduce costs.
