This study examines the improvement of logistics systems in trade services and evaluates their economic efficiency in the context of modern global economic transformations. The research is based on contemporary scientific literature, recent statistical data, and normative-legal frameworks regulating logistics and trade activities. The paper analyzes the structural components of logistics systems, including transportation, warehousing, inventory management, and information flows, emphasizing their interdependence and impact on overall efficiency. Special attention is given to the role of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and blockchain in optimizing logistics operations. The study also highlights key challenges, including high logistics costs, infrastructure limitations, and regulatory barriers, particularly in developing economies.
