AbstractEach network trading company must adequately build the logistics processes and monitor the supply chain management, since the “chain” covers the entire group of intermediaries and suppliers who are involved in the production path, from the manufacturer to the ultimate consumer. At the same time, each individual product or product line may have its own distinct list of active contractors. The introduction of the compulsory product marking significantly influenced the organization of the company's logistics processes. This paper focuses on the process of logistics optimization with the network trading companies based on the introduction of digital technologies in the supply chain management. Throughout the course of the study, the interconnection between the company's main stakeholders with external and internal drivers is examined, thereby aiming to distinguish the estimates and goals corresponding to the “Optimization of the company's logistics processes” driver, at the same time, taking its decomposition into account. Special attention was paid to the introduction of compulsory product marking and its impact on the logistics processes of the network trading companies. As a result, the study articulates the basic principles for the optimization of the logistics processes based on the introduction of digital technologies, suggests the main stages of marking and tracking, develops the algorithm of obtaining and printing the product codes from the personal account in the Center for the Advanced Technologies, and highlights the most urgent problems of the network trading companies.KeywordsSupply chain managementLogisticsLogistics systemNetwork trading companiesRetailOptimizationLabelingProduct tracking
