The goal of the research is to formulate the general problem of multimodal transportation management. The used empirical research methods include studying the literary sources on the planning and organization of multimodal transportation, as well as analyzing the obtained information. The implemented theoretical research methods include a systematic approach to describing multimodal transportation as a system, a mathematical modeling method for formulating the problem of managing multimodal transportation. The following research results were obtained: the definition of multimodal transportation is proposed, the peculiarities of this cargo transportation type are presented, as well as the advantages for customers. The main risks for the operator of multimodal transportation, such as delays, losses, defects and damages to cargo, are determined. It is indicated that the timely processing of the order by the multimodal transportation operator is hindered by the need for information exchange with all participants in the transportation process. Moreover, the processing is affected by the complexity of the calculations associated with possible delivery options, the lack of an effective mechanism for tracking and further accounting for failures, failures at the implementation stage. It is concluded that the competitive advantage of the transport company is the use of software and hardware that provide planning, optimization and control of the transportation process. The goal was set for the multimodal transportation management; methodological approaches to managing such transportations are presented.
