ITU Member ELEKS, a global software development company, has successfully completed the development and is launching the MVP of e-Excise – the system for monitoring of excise goods by ELEKS. The project strengthens ELEKS’ expertise in developing high-performance technological solutions at the national level.
The e-Excise Project is a digital initiative to address the shadow market for tobacco and alcohol in Ukraine, serving as a comprehensive long-term reform designed to more effectively combat the black market for excisable products and increase budget revenues from excise taxes.
Proud to celebrate a major milestone – ELEKS team has successfully launched the MVP of the e-Excise system, which was opened for public testing. This marks a big step in modernising alcohol and tobacco industry regulations in Ukraine. Huge thanks to our incredible team for their dedication and hard work in making this happen. Seeing our product recognised by the Ministry of Digital Transformation is a testament to our impact,
— Vladyslav Hapanovych, Head of the Engineering Division, US Gov Projects at ELEKS.
The e-Excise system streamlines the tracking of tobacco and alcohol products from production or import to the final consumer, replacing traditional paper excise stamps with secure digital identifiers. Built for scalability and security, the system integrates with state registries and enables businesses to seamlessly manage compliance through a robust API, ensuring real-time data accuracy and transparency.
Key technical advancements
The development of a production-ready MVP was completed in an extremely short time, within three months, demonstrating ELEKS’ efficiency and expertise in delivering complex digital solutions on time.
The following features can be tested during the trial period:
The launch of e-Excise beta testing is a testament to our team’s expertise in delivering secure, scalable, high-performance digital solutions.

The eExcise project is being implemented by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance and the State Tax Service of Ukraine. It was made possible by the Digital Transformation Activity (DTA) with support from USAID and UK Dev. The East Europe Foundation (EEF) and the Institute of Analytics and Advocacy are the implementing partners for this project under the DTA.
