MoD begins testing the ‘Maino’ inventory and asset management system

The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has initiated a pilot of the digital ‘Maino’ inventory and asset management system, developed by personnel at the Center for Scaling Technological Solutions. 

“Inventory and asset accounting in military units has always required significant time and effort, encompassing needs planning, reporting, and write-offs. I therefore instructed the Ministry to digitalize these processes to allow service members to concentrate on tasks essential to national defense,” said Denys Shmyhal, Minister of Defence of Ukraine. 

The system enables key military inventory and asset accounting processes to be managed within a unified environment at the unit level—from needs planning to transfer, write-offs, and reporting. This significantly eases the workload of logistics services, allowing resources to be managed quickly and transparently. 

Key benefits of the ‘Maino’ inventory and asset management system:

• Speed: asset accounting, movement, and distribution processes are significantly accelerated.
• Transparency: up-to-date data on asset movements is available immediately, without waiting for paper reports.
• Security: multi-factor authentication, role-based access, and activity auditing ensure information security. 

“The digitalization of military inventory and asset accounting enables commanders and logistics services to make informed decisions based on up-to-date data and to respond promptly to unit needs. I am pleased to note that this is another system developed by military IT units—for the military, by the military,” said Oksana Ferchuk, Deputy Minister of Defence for Digital Development, Digital Transformation, and Digitalization. 

The system is being implemented by the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine in cooperation with the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 

“The ‘Maino’ inventory and asset management system is a modern tool for military units that supports the full asset accounting cycle—from needs planning to write-offs. The system is integrated with the logistics management system, providing a unified view of resource movements and enabling fast, transparent decision-making,” commented Colonel Yurii Hai, Acting Head of the Main Directorate of Communications and Cybersecurity of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
