Logistics in the Context of Digitalization in Ukraine

Abstract

Modern digital solutions help to increase the efficiency, transparency and speed of logistics chains, forming new approaches to managing transport, warehouse and information flows in the digital economy. The article examines the key features of the transformation of logistics in Ukraine under the influence of digitalization and active implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies, which cause fundamental changes in the functioning of logistics processes. The aim of the article is to provide a thorough analysis of the processes of digitalization of logistics in Ukraine, taking into account current international experience, and to identify promising areas for further improvement of logistics processes through the use of modern digital technologies. Particular attention is paid to assessing the impact of digital solutions on the efficiency of logistics operations, increasing their transparency, speed and adaptability to the requirements of the global market. To achieve the formulated aim, the article describes the current state of Ukraine’s logistics system, analyzes its strengths and weaknesses, and identifies key digital tools that significantly affect the development of logistics and ensure the optimization of logistics processes. These tools include big data technologies, artificial intelligence, supply chain management (SCM) systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain and electronic transport systems, and other digital solutions that help to increase the speed, accuracy and transparency of logistics operations. The article analyzes foreign experience in the digital transformation of logistics processes, in particular, the practices of the EU, the USA and China, and examines the specifics of their technological approaches and the effectiveness of the innovations applied. Based on this, the author compares the specifics of the Ukrainian logistics market with international models, which allowed to identify potential areas of adaptation and opportunities for implementing the best international practices in Ukraine. A special emphasis is placed on the formation of practical recommendations for the development of digital logistics in Ukraine in the context of postwar reconstruction, taking into account the need to restore infrastructure, modernize transport systems and strengthen integration with international logistics networks.
