ENSURING ECONOMIC SECURITY WHEN IMPLEMENTING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN TRANSPORT LOGISTICS

Abstract

Article discusses issues of ensuring economic security as one of the most important qualitative characteristics of logistics systems that determine the ability to ensure the established parameters of material flows in process of goods distribution when introducing digital systems and technologies. Analysis of modern risks and threats characteristic of development of digital ecosystems of transport and logistics services is carried out. The key factors for ensuring economic security and their importance in logistics are examined from the point of view of ensuring operational control over compliance with established key indicators of product distribution. Interpretation of concept of «economic security» is given from the position of protecting a business entity from external and internal threats to increase the level of competitiveness and sustainability of enterprise in market. Issues of ensuring the parameters of commodity distribution within established threshold values are touched upon in order to achieve optimal functioning of commodity distribution system and ensure the economic activity of enterprise with all the necessary resources. Logistics systems are studied for effective organization and management of material flows, aimed at ensuring the reliability of operation and implementation of strategy of economic entities. Necessity of using modern digital technologies to increase the level of economic security in logistics systems and ensure transparency, controllability and traceability of material flows in the field of commodity distribution is substantiated. At the same time, fact of digitalization of cargo delivery processes is considered from perspective of ecosystem paradigm and platform concept. Patterns of transformation of traditional logistics operators into providers of digital logistics services are substantiated. Model of cyber-physical ecosystem in logistics has been developed, providing end-to-end management of business processes and data exchange in process of goods distribution.
