Abstract

The growth rates and balance of the region’s economy largely depend on the level of development of the logistics infrastructure, which ensures synchronization of the actions of all participants in the supply system during transportation, procurement, cargo handling and storage of inventory items. In Russia, logistics as a sphere of infrastructural activity had been formed, was functioning and developing for a long time as providing, often transportation, forwarding and warehouse activitiy necessary for the physical distribution of inventory. The content of the concept of “logistics infrastructure” is interpreted in different ways in literary sources. The authors offer many interpretations of the concept of “logistics infrastructure”, differing in content: from highly specialized definitions [1, 2, etc.] to expanded and over-generalized [4, 5, etc.]. The study [4] presents the interpretation of the term “logistics infrastructure” and indicates the position of the authors regarding the content of this term at the regional level of the economy, its integrating role “in relation to the social and economic subsystems of the territory”. Meanwhile, modern digital transformations in the regional economy determine not only the creation of infrastructure conditions for the movement of goods, but also the end-to-end coordination of digital flows within the framework of regional reproduction processes. This phenomenon in the study of the characteristics of the logistics infrastructure testifies to the relentless scientific relevance of the problem. The logistics infrastructure is endowed with a multiplier effect achieved by optimizing flow processes in the product distribution system. The multiplication of economic flows is developing as a process showing that an increase in investment in logistics infrastructure ensures the growth of the gross regional product many times greater than the initial investment. In a difficult economic situation, the study of the latest trends in the optimization and digital transformation of the region’s logistics infrastructure is of particular importance. In this context, the logistics infrastructure is a necessary prerequisite for the digital transformation of the region’s economy. The development of a digital design for the region’s logistics infrastructure is aimed at constructing an environment in which the interaction of participants in the supply chain is consistent with the development of end-to-end digital technologies.
