Abstract

Digital transformation applies to individual enterprises as well as to entire industries. A variety of technologies, business models and market demands become the levers for digital transformation. The transportation industry plays an important role in the supply of industrial business and largely determines the price of products. The formation of a single digital space for the transport complex is an important task in Russia. The introduction of mandatory electronic waybills in 2023 further increases the pace of digital transformation. The digital transformation of various companies is becoming an integral part of the current economy. The digital transformation of companies involved in the transport sector in one way or another is one of the issues that is acute for business. The transportation component of each organization, because of its communication nature, is the most important component of the production and economic module. In this article, the digital transformation of companies involved in the transportation sector is examined on the basis of a literature review. In turn, the digitalization of road transport and transport and logistics services implies compliance with several prerequisites. The transport component of any organization due to its communication nature is the most important component of the production and economic module, requires a different approach to management, which not only takes into account technological aspects, but also focuses primarily on the customer. The purpose of this article is to identify the main areas of digital development of transport companies in Russia by conducting a literature analysis. Using the examples of Russian companies, as well as foreign experience, it is possible to formulate the main directions of digital development of the Russian transport complex, trends in digital technology, as well as to justify the effectiveness of digital transformation in transport companies.
