The efficiency of logistics processes is still a current problem in construction companies. Many construction companies do not achieve the required level of efficiency of these processes, because they are not well managed. Barriers that hinder the effective management of logistics processes in construction enterprises are mainly caused by the high complexity of the processes, the large number and diversity of participants who are involved in the various stages of the processes implementation, different locations of the construction sites, and the diversity of building materials and equipment used at the construction site. The high demands that the investors have concerning tight schedules for construction works contribute to the fact that there is a necessity to ensure very good organization and management of logistics processes. One of the tools that can contribute to the improvement of the efficiency and effective management of logistics processes are modern IT systems, such as B2B, which are integrated with ERP systems. This was confirmed by a research carried out by a Polish company OPTeam SA.The purpose of this article is to present the concept of the management of logistics processes in the B2B OPTIbud system that was created as a result of the implementation of a research project entitled: "The prototype innovative and technologically advanced OPTIbud B2B platform, supporting the management of construction processes through the integration of data and information from multiple sources," funded by the National Centre for Research and Development under the INNOTECH path Hi-Tech.
