20 Years of Effective Reconciliations in Drammen Municipality

Case Study

Drammen Municipality saves time by handling its complex reconciliations with Adra Matcher.

Drammen is Norway’s seventh largest municipality with over 100,000 inhabitants. The municipality is the regional capital west of Oslo, and is a natural part of the housing and labor market in Eastern Norway. It’s income comes from several sources such as framework grants, tax income, sick pay, compensation and turnover linked to the sale of services and was a total of NOK nine billion in 2023.

Time Savings with Adra Matcher

Drammen Municipality, one of Norway’s largest cities, handles large amounts of transactions in its daily operations. With over 6,000 employees, the need for effective financial tools has been crucial for many years. Marit Holm Hansen, consultant in Drammen Municipality, shares how Adra Matcher has automated and streamlined the process for transaction reconciliations. “Adra is a great product that makes reconciliation of both large and small accounts much easier. There are several search options, and records that match between our accounts and bank records are automatically reconciled. This saves time,” says Hansen.


Adra Matcher can reconcile just about any type of balance sheet transaction, such as bank, cash, payroll, accruals, currency, and much more. This process, which normally takes a long time manually, can be done in a fraction of the time. Thus, the payroll and accounting department in Drammen Municipality saves considerable time during everyday work with Adra. Hansen says that the solution has been worth the investment, especially considering the simplicity of reconciling and the time they save. “Adra Matcher is the best matching tool I’ve used. There is a reason why our city has had the product for 20 years,” she continues.
