Abstract

The purpose of this article is to find out about logistical process problems, current conditions
related to the digitization of logistics processes in Indonesia, compare information systems / digitization of
logistics processes between Indonesia and countries in Asia and Propose National Logistics System
Architecture. This study was completed by conducting literature study activities from a number of relevant
references related to digitizing the logistics process. Next is to visit the web pages of a number of parties or
institutions, be it government or companies related to the logistics distribution process. The next activity is
to make comparisons between the logistics digitization process in Indonesia with a number of countries in
Asia. With regard to data and information verification, visits have been made to a number of government
agencies and companies related to the logistics distribution process. Based on the studies that have been
conducted, there have been a number of information systems related to the digitization of the logistics
process, both those developed by central government agencies and by companies independently. These
government agencies include the Ministry of Finance (INSW), the Ministry of Industry and Trade (DO
Online), the Ministry of Transportation (InaPortNet). From the company (port service providers) there are a
number of applications (either applications developed by third parties or internally) such as those owned by
IPC (Indonesia Port Companies). There is no integrated logistics information system that connects interested
parties (public entities, logistics node operators, logistics service providers, carriers / logistics companies,
warehouses in the national logistics distribution system, goods senders / buyers, consignors / consignees,
banks and other related financial companies, the Regional Transportation Service, and the Police) yet.
Through this study, it is hoped that interested parties can find out and take advantage of the existing logistics
process digitalization system and / application and make decisions that produce optimal solutions.
