SaaS Fleet Tracking Systems for Sustainable Logistics Management in Ukraine.

Traditional fleet management approaches based on local systems and manual control fail to provide necessary responsiveness and monitoring accuracy, leading to 15-30% higher fuel consumption and increased environmental impact. Objectives: This study aims to develop theoretical and methodological foundations for implementing SaaS fleet tracking systems to ensure sustainable logistics management in Ukraine, including systematization of cloud technology approaches, analysis of international implementation experience, and development of integration models. Methods: The research employs comparative analysis of 30 scientific sources from Scopus and Web of Science databases (2020-2025), case study methodology examining European SaaS implementations, mathematical modeling for route optimization, and economic analysis of total cost of ownership. Multi-criteria evaluation framework incorporating operational, economic, and environmental KPIs was developed. Results: The study demonstrates that SaaS fleet tracking implementation enables 25-30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, 20-40% decrease in operational costs, and 30-35% productivity improvement. The proposed three-tier architecture model integrates GPS positioning, telematics, and cloud computing, ensuring real-time monitoring and optimization. Economic analysis reveals 169% ROI over five years with 8-12 months payback period. Critical success factors include leadership commitment (9.36/10 importance score), supportive organizational culture (8.57/10), and stakeholder engagement (8.57/10). Discussion: The research identifies logistics network complexity (7.57/10) and resource constraints (6.79/10) as primary implementation barriers. Ukrainian companies demonstrate 52/100 digital infrastructure readiness compared to 78/100 in Poland, indicating significant improvement potential. The phased implementation approach, starting with 10-20 vehicle pilots, reduces transition costs by 40% while ensuring organizational adaptation. Conclusions: SaaS fleet tracking systems represent a transformative technology for Ukrainian logistics, enabling simultaneous achievement of economic efficiency, environmental responsibility, and social equity. The developed readiness assessment methodology and KPI framework provide practical tools for digital transformation.
