Portuguese term or phrase: NFSe Contagem
SPAIN. Portuguese is not one of my working languages. This term appears among a list of software strings I have to translate from Spanish. The other two expressions (Carvajal/ Itajai) appear to be proper names of places or perhaps companies, and I know that the NFS-e is something like a bill/invoice for services in Brazil. However, the dictionary definitions I have found are for the "Contagem" component are "count" and "tally", which don't seem to make sense.

"Carvajal
NFSe Contagem
NFSe Itajai"

Explanation:
You are right. NFSe is like an Invoice, specific from Brazil. It is the "Nota Fiscal de Serviços Eletrônica". It is issued for services (not products), and electronically.

Contagem is a city located in Minas Gerais State, so this "nota fiscal" (invoice) was issued in that city.

The same case as Itajai (city of Santa Catarina State).

Hope it helps.
