Digitalization of logistics: economic aspects in an international and Russian perspective

digitalization of logistics is becoming more and more clearly evident as an economically significant process that transforms the structure and efficiency of logistics chains in international and national practice. This paper examines examples of digital solutions implemented in the EU, USA, China, Japan and Russia in order to compare their economic effects. The analysis is based on a case study, a systematic approach and comparative analysis methods, which allowed us to identify key technologies – intelligent transport systems (ITS), digital platforms, IoT, Big Data and automation of warehouse infrastructure. While in the EU, digitalization focuses on sustainability and cross—border integration, the United States focuses on efficiency and autonomy, while in Asia it focuses on the speed and scale of implementation. In the Russian context, despite the implementation of digital economy programs, institutional barriers remain. The study suggests a classification of technologies according to their impact on economic performance, as well as recommendations for improving the efficiency of logistics digitalization in the Russian Federation. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibilities of adapting successful foreign solutions taking into account Russian specifics, as well as in building a comprehensive strategy for the digital transformation of logistics.
