Abstract: Introduction. The article considers the development trends of future logistics technologies and shows that in modern conditions, the construction of a reliable forecast for the development of the logistics and supply chain management sphere is possible only for a fairly short term, which reflects the time of the currently existing technologies’ active use, until they are completely replaced by other more effective technologies. For a longer term, only visionary forecasts are possible, which are based on the predictive intuition of their creators. Theoretical analysis. In the theoretical part, the authors analyze possible scenarios of the future and their impact on product transportation technologies and logistics, and also describe megatrends in the development of society that affect logistics. The described megatrends are the basis for creating ecosystems and platforms of various types. The authors have determined that the key trend is increasing the flexibility of the logistics process, improving its ability to adapt to changing external conditions and continuously improve. Empirical analysis. In the empirical part, the authors considered promising information technologies that will be actively used in the field of logistics and will provide support for the presented development scenarios. Their systematization allowed the authors to combine logistics development scenarios with megatrends and present the potential practical implementation of the logistics process based on them. Results. The described technologies and scenarios for their use are aimed at building effective cooperative relationships between participants in the logistics process. To achieve the stated goal of the study, the authors developed a conceptual model of the logistics process focused on the formation of effective cooperative relationships between entities of the logistics system through the widespread introduction of promising information technologies. Conclution. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the proposed scenarios and technological solutions to optimize logistics processes in the context of digital transformation of economic systems.
