Modern Russia goes through a difficult period of crisis and exchange of sanctions that have left a definite imprint on the Russian players in the logistics market. Logistics, as a so-called satellite, the motor trade is in their systems a huge potential. It is a sort of “blood arteries of the country” – water, road, rail, air. Any changes in international economic relations are automatically projected onto the market of logistics services. This article discusses the position of logistics in today's economic situation, as well as methods and means of adaptation and optimization under these conditions. The article reveals the undeniable advantages of the WMS – system, and describes a method for effective solutions for cost optimization in logistics as a cross – docking. This article also describes the idea and in fractional reveals the essence of this method of cost optimization solutions. In the process of studying the article becomes abundantly clear that this system has a distinct advantage in the absence of the need for investment funds, the only necessity of the system is an effective HR management and monitoring processes. There is confirmation of the fact that in difficult times of crisis, logistics has a huge potential and opportunities for growth and optimization. We give evidence that the innovative WMS technology strengthens its position and deeper embedded in the system of logistics and cross-docking, in turn, is one of the effective ways of making cost optimization in logistics at this time in this situation.
