Abstract

The article has been devoted to the system analysis of supply chains digital integration. The main goal is to study the practical significance of the blockchain in terms of digital integration of supply chains, to identify areas for further development. World experience of implementing blockchain projects in supply chains has been analyzed, trends in the use of digitalization technologies in logistics have been identified, components of digital supply chain integration have been considered.

The general scheme of work with information is the collection of relevant data from news messages, evaluation of requests on the Internet by statistics analysis tools “Yandex. Choice of words” and “Google Trends”, analysis of legal and law enforcement documents using the search and analytics capabilities reference-legal systems, study of intellectual property through the service “Yandex. Patents». Systematization of the data was carried out by expert methods by the specialists of the Logistics Department from the State University of Management. The phenomenon of the popularity of the term “blockchain” has been examined, a plenty of papers, news articles, legal acts, devoted to the blockchain (distributed registry) and related with it technologies has been studied.

The shortcomings of the blockchain, complicating the practical commercial application of technology in logistics and the economy as a whole, has been systematized; domestic legal support, regulating the issues of blockchain, cryptocurrency and related concepts has been analyzed; innovations (technologies, inventions, platforms and systems), related to the digitalization of the economy have been classified, and the components of digital integration of supply chains and logistics business processes have been formulated.

The results of this study can be used to consolidate information about the opportunities and problems of blockchain in connection with related technologies, as well as in making decisions about the application of blockchain in logistics in order to integrate modern supply chains.
