Digitalization of logistics to solve the problems of its development in the conditions of the post-war recovery of Ukraine’s economy

Abstract

The article is devoted to the development of recommendations for the digital transformation of domestic logistics to solve the current problems of its development in the conditions of post-war recovery, as well as the development of Ukraine’s economy. Based on the analysis of military actions' impact on the logistics infrastructure and the logistics practices during the war with Russia, the study identifies two main problems of domestic logistics. Additionally, it considers the requirement for post-war recovery and economic growth to transition to an innovative development path. The first group includes problems caused by the war. The second is the problem of adapting logistics systems to the conditions of post-war recovery and innovative development of Ukraine’s economy. Recommendations have been developed to analyze and solve these groups of problems by addressing them, their consequences, and the digital technologies that can mitigate them. Appropriate tables for making managerial decisions regarding the digital transformation of logistics systems and their elements have been created. A consolidated scheme is proposed, outlining the sequence and content of management procedures. This scheme guides the selection of digital technologies to address the problems identified. It helps form relevant strategies based on digitalization. The obtained scientific and applied results, conclusions, and recommendations collectively deepen the principles of managing the digital transformation of logistics systems as a way to solve the problems of their development in the conditions of post-war recovery and the transition to innovative growth of the economy of Ukraine. They also contribute to the formation of the information and analytical base of the organizational and economic management mechanism for the development of logistics systems in the digital economy. Further research should be aimed at developing the methodological foundations of formalized management of the processes of digital transformation of domestic logistics to ensure its development in the conditions of the post-war recovery of Ukraine’s economy in line with the concept of innovative growth.
