Digital transformation of Eurasian Economic Union's (EAEU) logistics system

Abstract

This article is addressing the key items regarding digital transformation of export-import trade operations taking place while designing the logistics system of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Results of investigation enable the authors to reveal the problems occurring during creation of common market of logistics services and common digital space in countries having different sizes of economy, levels of economic development, conditions of logistics infrastructure and digital technologies. The authors are investigating the dynamics of development of export-import trade operations within EAEU. It is demonstrated that inconsistency of statistic data, document management system and logistics standards is adversely affecting integration in the sphere of trade. The paper is addressing the matters regarding the possibility to balance logistics and digital architecture of EAEU member-states within the framework of logistics system. The authors are proposing the model of integrating digital platform capable to provide interaction of logistics and digital technologies within EAEU. Such model is oriented towards optimization of export-import trade flows, increase capabilities to take sustainable solutions aiming to achieve strategic targets of thee EAEU logistics system (EAEU LS) development. Model of integrated digital platform creates new possibilities enabling exchange of information among logistics system elements and external environment, allows undertaking instantaneous actions upon data acquisition from digital platform's sensors and coordinating center. Based on the generated online data array, end-to-end management of the entire value chain and monitoring of controlled performance indicators is carried out. The paper made it possible to conceptually outline the problem associated with the so called “Single-window” mechanism based on equalization of logistics and digital architecture of foreign trade operations realized by the EAEU member states. Significance of the forwarded research is defined by the necessity to resolve the problem of identification of subject-object content, structure and specific features of the EAEU LS management in conditions of economy digitization.
