Abstract:
The article examines the role of cloud technologies in the management of logistics operations. In the conditions of modern digital transformation, cloud technologies have become a key tool for optimizing logistics processes, increasing the efficiency of supply chain management, automating data processing, and improving interaction between participants in logistics networks. Cloud platforms allow companies to integrate data from various sources, providing access to information in real time, which significantly increases the efficiency and accuracy of managerial decision-making. The main advantages of implementing cloud solutions are analyzed, such as reducing costs for IT infrastructure, increasing the transparency of operations, the possibility of forecasting demand, as well as reducing the human factor in warehouse and transport processes. In particular, cloud technologies allow companies to automate inventory management, planning delivery routes, order processing and other key logistics functions. Particular attention is paid to the challenges faced by companies when implementing cloud technologies. One of the main challenges is data security, which includes the risks of cyber threats, leakage of sensitive information and data loss due to technical failures. The study examines measures to help minimize these risks, including the use of multi-factor authentication, data encryption and regular security audits. In addition, difficulties can arise when integrating cloud solutions with existing IT systems, which requires additional investment in adaptation and training of personnel. The results of the study confirm that the implementation of cloud technologies significantly improves logistics management, providing competitive advantages and increasing the level of customer service. This is especially important for Ukrainian companies that seek to remain competitive on the international market. The implementation of cloud solutions contributes not only to the optimization of operations, but also to the increase of strategic adaptability, which is critically important in today's dynamic business environment.

Keywords: cloud technologies, logistics, supply chain management, automation, data security, efficiency.
