Resumo

Logistics maturity models assess organizational capabilities and support continuous improvement, but they provide limited consideration of digital integration as a capability connecting systems, processes, data, organizational functions, and supply chain actors. This study examines how digital integration has been incorporated into logistics maturity research. A systematic literature review guided by PRISMA 2020 analyzed 92 studies: 78 identified through Scopus and Web of Science searches covering January 1, 2017 to November 30, 2025, and 14 added through citation searching. Bibliometric analyses identified three substantive streams—supply chain and digital capabilities, Industry 4.0 and manufacturing automation, and data analytics and supply chain performance—and one methodological stream related to quantitative assessment. Qualitative synthesis organized digital integration into four dimensions: technological and systems integration, data and information integration, process integration, and organizational and interorganizational
integration. The resulting framework positions logistics maturity as the assessment perspective for examining these dimensions. It provides a conceptual basis for future model development, while the proposed assessment elements and relationships with logistics outcomes require operationalization and empirical validation.
