It is well known that digitalization in the logistics field can significantly increase the awareness of all stakeholders about the presence, status and movements of inventories, help to reduce losses, damage and theft of equipment and materials, and reduce the burden on personnel responsible for inventory control. Nevertheless, the subject area of inventory accounting in telecom-outsourcing organizations is not a widely researched area. The managers solve the arising practical issues of inventory accounting and its optimization following the example of the enterprises in other industries. The purpose of this study is to systematize the directions and methods of optimization of inventory accounting in telecom-outsourcing organization with the help of modern information technologies. The paper examines the links between traditional approaches to inventory accounting, their re-engineering, coordination and digitalization. The methodological aspect of the study includes identification of practical problems in the field of inventory accounting, systematization of terms, search for solutions to similar problems in other industries, identification of problem-solving options and analysis of relevant modern technologies. The main result is a systematized overview of the problems under consideration and ways to solve them with the help of organizational measures and IT. This paper can be useful both for researchers in the field of logistics and optimization theory to choose directions for in-depth study of the mentioned problems, and for practicing managers searching an overview of approaches to inventory optimization.
