Archipelagic logistics in Indonesia is fundamentally constrained by profound geographical
fragmentation and systemic structural failures, most notably manifested in the persistent "return
cargo paradox" within the Eastern regions. Despite substantial infrastructure subsidies via the
national "Sea Toll" program, the disconnect between physical connectivity and digital
orchestration remains a primary inhibitor of Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) competitiveness.
This research elucidates the socio-technical orchestration of Digital Twin (DT) technology within the
National Logistics Ecosystem (NLE) to catalyze a systemic transformation of SME logistics,
specifically targeting the expansion of domestic market penetration and international export
capacity. Adhering to the rigorous PRISMA 2020 protocol, 28 high-impact studies were synthesized
from a systematic Scopus identification pool of 1,923 records (2018–2026). The analysis employs a
multidimensional framework grounded in the General Theory of Piping Transportation (GTPT) and
Darwisman’s Paradigm to deconstruct supply chain bottlenecks and information asymmetries. The
findings establish a critical "Digital Maturity Gap"; while the NLE optimizes G2G administrative
workflows, a strategic void exists in the real-time predictive synchronization of SME-to-market
operations. Crucially, the study identifies that achieving a mandatory 60.0% digital interoperability
threshold is a prerequisite to eliminate "information clogs" and trigger non-linear efficiency gains.
Below this threshold, digital investments result in descriptive "Digital Shadows" rather than proactive,
value-generating Digital Twins. We propose an "Integrated Predictive Resilience" model, governed
by a proposed National Supply Chain Agency, designed to bridge the documented 16.2% digital
literacy gap and provide "Digital Provenance" to bolster international buyer trust. This strategic
orchestration is projected to reduce national logistics costs to 14.0% of GDP by 2026, thereby
fostering industrial sovereignty and ensuring sustainable market expansion within the global value
chain.
