Optimizing the Supply Chain: The Impact of Digital Technologies on Efficiency and Sustainability

Abstract

Abstract

This article aims to explore digital transformation as a managerial innovation and its role in optimizing the supply chain. It seeks to understand how innovative technologies can enhance operational efficiency while reducing the environmental impact of supply chains. In this context, it is evident that these technologies have profoundly transformed consumer behaviors, business operations, and interactions among various economic actors. A digitalized supply chain represents an intelligent and efficient system focused on value creation, aiming to generate new revenue streams and increase the commercial value of organizations. It relies on innovative approaches, integrating advanced technological and analytical methods. Unlike the distinction between physical and digital goods, the digital supply chain primarily focuses on managing its processes by incorporating various innovative technologies. Finally, digital technologies, such as platforms, systems, and algorithms, influence how we collaborate, exchange, integrate, and control all logistics operations.
