DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT IN RETAIL TRADE: METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS
Abstract
Introduction. In the context of economic digital transformation, omnichannel retail development, and increasing market turbulence, effective inventory management has become a strategic factor in ensuring operational resilience and competitiveness of enterprises. Traditional approaches to inventory accounting and analysis, primarily based on retrospective data and periodic reporting, are increasingly insufficient for timely managerial decision-making in a dynamic business environment.
Methods. The methodological framework of the study is based on a dialectical approach to the analysis of economic processes, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis, systematization, comparison, structural-logical modeling, and generalization of scientific sources. The information base includes works of domestic and international scholars on inventory management, accounting, and analytics, along with analytical materials related to the digitalization of logistics and retail processes.
Results. The results of the study substantiate that digital transformation of inventory management is grounded in the integration of accounting, analytical, and forecasting functions within a unified information environment. It is determined that the use of analytical platforms, automated accounting systems, and forecasting models enhances the accuracy of inventory data, increases inventory turnover, reduces the risks of stockouts and excess inventory, and improves supply chain transparency.
Discussion. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in their applicability for improving inventory management methodologies in retail trade enterprises. Further research should focus on the development of risk- and resilience-oriented inventory management models in the conditions of wartime and post-war economic recovery.
