Automation and digitisation are the driving force of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Industrial revolutions led to the mass production of goods, which increased the need for modern warehouses. Every year, the operation of warehouses becomes increasingly more complicated due to the increasing abundance of goods, thus the usual warehouse management strategies are no longer suitable. In order to cope with huge product flows, modern innovations should be used more extensively to manage these processes. Successful management will help provide quality service to rapidly changing business sectors. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology designed to process large amounts of data with maximum efficiency in real time. This technology can facilitate the implementation of smart identification, tracking, tracing, and management using radio frequency identification (RFID), infrared sensors, global positioning systems (GPS), laser scanners, and other detection tools. Such innovations as IoT have made a significant impact on warehousing operations. The aim of IoT is to perform administrative work, i.e., to efficiently manage warehouse data. IoT can be used to monitor and track goods, forecast demand trends, manage inventory, and perform other warehouse operations in real time. The key elements of a warehouse are sales and customer satisfaction. Implementing IoT improves financial performance, work productivity, and customer satisfaction. However, innovation requires additional investment in, for instance, implementation and maintenance. It is necessary to investigate how warehouse elements such as inventory accuracy or order processing time are affected by the internet of things in companies of different sizes. Research on the impact of IoT on warehouse management focuses on IoT advantages, disadvantages, mitigation risks, and the use of IoT in warehouses. The aim of this work is to research the impact of IoT on warehouse management in companies of different sizes and to determine whether the costs and benefits of IoT differ in the same scenario. As a result, the conceptual model for the adoption of IoT measures in warehouse companies was created, and its suitability was assessed by experts.

Logistics processes play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of the supply chain, and warehouse management is one of the key logistics activities of invaluable significance. To evaluate the management principles of companies, it is necessary to thoroughly analyze their functions, operational standards, and quality requirements. One of the most common strategies in modern businesses is quality improvement. Insufficient quality can lead to competitive disadvantages and have negative consequences for companies that do not prioritize quality and neglect their services and products, resulting in a loss of customer loyalty and revenue. Effective warehouse management is critically important for companies to meet consumer needs, reduce costs, and gain a competitive advantage. Conducting qualitative research is necessary in order to learn how to properly organize warehouse management within companies, which will also help to identify key issues and determine areas for change. This article consists of a theoretical section that analyzes the scientific literature on the quality of warehouse process management in the logistics sector. It examines theoretical aspects of logistics processes and quality assurance in company management, including the implementation of systems that ensure quality in warehouse processes and logistics process management. The subsequent sections describe the research methods applied, evaluate the results of warehouse management quality, and provide insights and recommendations.

The article presents an analysis of academic literature in an attempt to identify the importance of the implementation of green logistics in road transportation. Areas of concern as well as solution and implementation opportunities are presented. A research of transportation companies was conducted in an attempt to understand the real situation regarding the implementation of green logistics measures. The research results are presented in the article. Solutions are provided in the form of a conceptual model for the implementation of green logistics measures in transportation organisations. Nowadays the interest in ecology, minimization of fossil fuel usage, and mitigation of harmful road transportation consequences is rapidly increasing. Eco-friendly vehicles, effective transportation system, application of advanced technologies and innovations should become the main factors in promoting the implementation of green logistics in the transportation sector to mitigate negative effects on the environment. In order to maintain their competitive advantage and customer satisfaction, transportation organisations should begin implementing the concept of green logistics in their businesses. The significance of the concept of green logistics can be observed on global, regional, and national levels. Business is still seen as the leader, responsible for initiation and implementation of ecological logistics principles. The implementation of green logistics is critically important; however, lack of funding and collaboration between the public and the private sectors prevent companies from adopting green logistics measures. Economic driving classes, employee education, electric and hybrid cargo-handling vehicles are some of the possible green logistics measures.

Advertising can influence and change consumers’ attitudes, habits, and behaviour and can therefore be a way to promote sustainable mobility and multimodality in urban transport systems. This paper focuses on the following questions: what is the impact of advertising on consumer behaviour in the context of sustainable mobility and multimodal decision making in urban transport systems? This paper assesses the impact of advertising on consumer behaviour in the context of the scientific literature, and discusses the methods and effectiveness of advertising in promoting sustainable mobility and multimodality in urban transport systems. Thus, this study examines the role of advertising and its impact on consumer behaviour, and provides a framework for the use of advertising to promote sustainable mobility and multimodality in urban transport systems. The study involved 396 inhabitants of major Lithuanian cities. Analytical descriptive, quantitative, and statistical research methods were applied. A quantitative research strategy was used to better understand the expression of advertising and its impact on the development of sustainable mobility and multimodality in urban transport. The results show that advertisements promoting sustainable mobility do not have a significant impact and only a small proportion of respondents associate advertisements with the development of sustainable mobility and multimodality in urban transport. This provides an opportunity to improve the information system of advertisements by exploiting the originality, text, content, and idea of the advertisement, which the study found to be one of the most influential factors in changing consumers’ attitudes and encouraging them to make travel decisions based on the principles of sustainable mobility and multimodality. In addition, television, the internet (including e-mail advertising), radio, and outdoor billboards can be among the most effective means of providing information in anticipation of the development of sustainable mobility and multimodality in urban transport. The results of the study will therefore have long-term value for the scientific debate on the impact of advertising on the promotion of sustainable mobility and multimodality in urban transport, and a practical relevance for providing guidelines for the development of sustainable mobility and multimodality in urban transport in the information advertising system.

With increasing freight flows and their carriage, sustainability in the transport sector is one of today’s key challenges. With expanding geographical coverage of consumers, manufacturers and all participants in the logistics chain, sustainable carriage is becoming a considerable challenge, which can possibly be tackled by interoperability between different modes of transport. However, even in this context, there are endless difficulties, such as the compatibility of modes of transport, completion of documentation, compatibility of information systems and technologies, and the like. This article examines the importance of interoperability between maritime and rail transport in the development of international freight carriage. A theoretical assessment of maritime and rail transport interoperability covering the need for the application of information systems (IS) in the field of maritime and rail transport is presented, as well as distinguishing research problems relating to this interoperability and the presentation of key results. The quantitative and qualitative research methods applied in this article, the results of the research as well as the expert assessment of the activities of companies providing maritime and rail transport services are presented to verify the adaptation of the developed model.

Freight transport by road is constantly increasing, therefore it is very important to ensure efficient distribution of flows by optimizing/reducing transport costs. With the recent increase in the demand for small loads, less-than-truckload transportation services are becoming increasingly popular among representatives of small and large businesses. This method of cargo transportation is more economically accessible and useful. The increasing competition between companies encourages the search for ways to improve the offered services, thereby reducing costs for customers. Digitization tools are among the most important in order to implement the principles of green logistics, ensure long-term competitive advantages by systematically improving logistics results and reducing costs. Automated service management, services based on customer data and intelligent solutions must help companies create a digital business model. The purpose of this article is the identification of problem areas in the service quality of companies carrying out less-than-truckload transportation on international routes and ways of solving them by applying digitization technologies. Research methods/methodology used: the work was carried out based on the analysis of scientific literature, statistical data analysis and survey methods, an expert survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire. The analysis of scientific literature made it possible to identify that the transportation of less-than-truckload shipments is not considered as a separate element, but included in the process of transportation of general loads. Considering the fact that less-than-truckload cargo transportation is becoming increasingly popular globally, this renders it possible to justify the novelty of the article and for a more detailed study. The result of the work is a conceptual model of service quality improvement based on digitization technologies.
