Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of organizing the management of logistics flows in the ecosystems of transport and logistics services using modern means of digital transformation. The relevance of the chosen topic is confirmed by the importance and relevance of creating an established system of physical distribution of commodity and material values between suppliers and consumers, the basis of which, along with a developed logistics infrastructure in Russia and foreign economic activity, is transport and logistics services. The modern experience of developed economies shows that the market appeal of a product directly depends not only on its quality and cost but also on the speed of its movement through supply chains and the speed of delivery to the end consumer. The object of the study is material and information flows that correspond in digital ecosystems of transport and logistics services. The subject of the study is the economic and organizational and managerial relations associated with the formation and development of digital ecosystems of transport and logistics services. The main methods used in the study were the analysis and systematization of scientific publications on the topic, methods of designing management systems and operations research, and factor analysis. Outcomes: a list of the main digital technologies was identified; the effectiveness of their application area was analyzed. Further, the author built the scheme of the ecosystem of transport and logistics services and the scheme of interaction of its subjects. As a outcome of the analysis of the factors of influence on increasing the speed of promotion of logistics flows and goods in supply chains, the use of an integrated digital platform was recognized as the most effective. The author presented the mechanism of logistics flow management based on the creation of an integrated platform of transport and logistics services.
