Himml

Himml is a Norwegian inventory and excise-duty software tool designed for breweries, cider producers, and winemakers. It allows producers to register sales, production, withdrawals, and intake while tracking inventory levels in real time. The platform automatically calculates applicable excise duties using rates from Skatteetaten and generates an ELSÆR-format report ready for submission to Altinn.

The software supports multiple users with a shared overview and can import existing spreadsheet data using AI to set up products and historical records. Users can scan barcodes or select from a list to register transactions, with the app functioning equally well on mobile devices as on a PC.

Himml charges a flat rate of 349 kr per month for all features including inventory management, excise duty calculation, and reporting. A 30-day free trial is available without requiring a credit card, and users can cancel at any time.

The platform integrates directly with Altinn by generating ELSÆR-format reports that are pre-calculated using Skatteetatens own rates. This eliminates the need for manual calculations and ensures the report is ready for immediate upload.

Users can upload existing spreadsheet files, and Himml uses KI (artificial intelligence) to automatically set up products and historical records. The user must review and approve the proposed changes before any data is saved to the system.

The system provides real-time inventory control, sales velocity tracking, and automatic excise duty updates without needing manual recounting at month-end. All data is updated automatically as transactions are registered.

Himml is specifically built for Norwegian producers of beer, cider, wine, juice, and soda. The software operates in Norway and uses Norwegian tax administration data for its calculations.

The platform allows employees to scan barcodes directly on the warehouse floor using a mobile app, capturing quantity, direction, and location instantly. This replaces the need to remember details until returning to a PC.

The service includes a single subscription price with no hidden additional costs for inventory, excise duty calculation, and reporting. There are no credit card requirements to start using the service.

The software helps prevent errors caused by handwritten notes that must be manually entered into Excel, forgotten withdrawals, and lack of control over actual stock levels. It also removes the need to manually input messages from employees.

The process involves three steps: registering transactions in seconds, viewing all data in real time, and sending a correctly filled ELSÆR report to Altinn without fear of errors. Each registration has full traceability.

The website states that the platform is designed to help producers stop fearing excise duties by providing accurate, automated calculations based on official tax rates.

The software ensures that excise duty is reported based on what is actually taken from inventory rather than just what has been invoiced, providing a more accurate financial picture.
