Modern trends of logistics functioning in transport company

Abstract

In the modern period, the activity of international transport logistics is characterized by significant changes that require qualitative improvement of Belarusian transport companies to minimize their costs. Therefore, the search for determining the directions for improving the logistics efficiency of Belarusian carriers given the sanctions is highly relevant. In order to identify the main features and trends of transport and logistics activities in Belarusian companies, the research is carried out on the example of OOO VitSpetsKarz.
The authors took into account opinions of experts and specialists as part of the analysis and introduction of the Schedex system. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to the company’s functioning were determined through analysis. The research established that freight transportation follows a circular route. The volume increased by 6 000 tons during the period under study, and the dynamics of volume variations are characterized by minor changes due to long-term contracts previously concluded by the enterprise with customers. Analysis of the production cost structure shows that fuel and personnel wages are the largest cost components, comprising 58.8% of total costs. The increase in the growth of these cost elements in 2022 led to an increase in the cost of transport logistics. Higher transportation costs and times are primarily attributed to the recently imposed European Union sanctions on the Republic of Belarus. The use of the Russian rating CRM-system Sсhedex will ensure the reduction of production costs and increase the profit of the transport company.
