Feature
One overview per vendor
How much do you really pay each vendor? Licens groups every agreement with the same vendor and shows the total cost per year – with name, organisation number and address taken from the Brønnøysund Register Centre.
One vendor, many agreements
It's common to have several agreements with the same vendor: an office suite, a couple of add-on modules, support, and perhaps something a department signed up for on its own. Individually the amounts look small. Together the vendor can be one of your biggest costs – and a place with real room to negotiate.
A good overview starts with vendors being registered correctly, once. When you add a vendor in Licens, you search the Norwegian business register (Enhetsregisteret) by name or organisation number, and the details are filled in automatically. No more seeing the same vendor three times with slightly different spellings.

Questions about vendors
Can I add foreign vendors?
Yes. The registry lookup covers Norwegian entities, but you can add foreign vendors manually with whatever details you have.
Are vendor details updated automatically?
Details are fetched from the register when you add the vendor. You can edit them later if needed.
How is the total cost per year calculated?
Each agreement is normalised to annual cost excluding VAT, and foreign currencies are converted to NOK. The vendor page adds these up per year.
What if the same vendor has been added twice?
Looking vendors up by organisation number avoids most duplicates. If imported data contains duplicates, you can move the agreements to the correct vendor.
