Used by 65 consortia and 12,000+ libraries to gain insights and improve workflows

“I just had to check and pay the Elsevier invoice, which last year took me 8 hours. This year it only took me 1 hour, since I could easily identify all the subscriptions in ConsortiaManager.”

“It's the only software I never close.”

“ConsortiaManager saves me days and days worth of data entry work. The automated nature of CM means fewer mistakes.”

“The tool is so intutitive and user-friendly. It's a joy to use it.”

“Our consortium relies heavily on specialized software that manages acquisitions. Not having it would make us a car without an engine.”

The ConsortiaManager Story: Danish Innovation Meets Global Library Needs

Nels Rune Jensen and Tejs Grevstad transformed a simple request from a Danish library consortium into the world's first comprehensive workflow platform for library consortia, now serving more than 65 consortia and their 12000 member libraries.

In early 2014, when the Danish Digital Library faced a reorganization crisis and couldn't access critical publisher agreement data, they unknowingly sparked the creation of an entirely new software category - ConsortiaManager. The founders' combined 30+ years of information industry expertise, spanning both publisher and subscription agent perspectives, positioned them uniquely to solve a problem that no one else had even attempted to address systematically.
