摘要

The paper investigates innovations in logistics management being tailored to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), given their critical importance in the global economy. SMEs in the Romanian market represent a significant share of job creation and economic output, but face unique challenges in implementing efficient logistics systems. In this paper I propose a way in which management software programs can be adapted for SMEs, this research aims to develop a clear methodology to help SMEs improve their logistics performance by addressing specific needs and capitalizing on innovative practices. The proposed methodology includes an assessment of SME needs and establishes customized solutions resulting from the identification of an acute lack of centralized management system, that allow different departments to access data and the necessary steps for the actual implementation of a management system created from scratch and the milestones required for a successful implementation. Also the increased needs of the consumers put pressures for fast deliveries, stock accuracy and customized services require streamlined logistics processes, all of these factors are producing large quantity of waste and a reduced efficiency. The results and conclusions are presented through quantitative and qualitative data, highlighting the positive impact these solutions can have on SME competitiveness. Therefore, the future of logistics is shaped by technology integration, sustainability, market dynamics and efficient risk management, which are essential elements for the development of flexible, high-performance and customer-oriented logistics systems.
