Abstract

The top trends, peculiar to transport logistics in the construction companies activity, are pointed out in the article. According to the results of the analysis that was carried out, nowadays digitalization is the main subject in logistics. In particular, paperless registration of cargo transportation, robotization during freight processing, the use of unmanned vehicles for transportation, and the introduction of obligatory marking for separate types of commodities are revealed. The authors find out the logical communication between the development of electronic commerce and the adaptation of logistics for it, and conclude, that only the complex logistics will be able to conform to modern requirements. At the same, some factors which slow down the digitalization of the transport-and-logistic sphere in Russia are revealed. This will also make it difficult for the companies to cope with the peak loads by their capacities. So, logistic outsourcing can become the solution to this problem. The results of the analysis as well as the conclusions, drawn by the authors, can be useful for the further development of the transport-and-logistic complex. In turn, the transport logistics systems act as the major resource, which allows to plan and carry out construction works, to finish them in the shortest terms, to increase the activity efficiency and product competitiveness.
