The budget lives in forty files
Each department fills in its own spreadsheet, finance merges them. One formula slips, the consolidated figure no longer ties, and the cycle restarts. Nobody is sure which file is current.
Built for hotel finance
Hotel budgets, forecasts and cash flow. On one system, not in spreadsheets.
From departmental budgets to a consolidated USALI P&L, from the daily till to a 12-month cash projection. Multi-property, multi-currency, with approval chains built in.

Why does the budget cycle take so long?
The problem is not your team, it is the method. All three below share one root cause: the data does not live in one place.
You learn about month end on the 15th
By the time actuals arrive, the window to act has closed. Seeing a variance after the month is reporting, not managing.
Approvals disappear into chat threads
There is no record of who approved what, or on which assumption. When an auditor asks or a figure is challenged, you cannot trace it back.
One data model
Change one assumption, update the whole plan
Operational drivers connect to financial outcomes inside one model. No copy-paste and no disconnected formulas.

Platform
The hotel’s whole financial cycle
Eight modules, one data model. An assumption you change in the revenue plan lands in the P&L, the cash flow and the cost projection at the same time.
01
Financial Planning
Budgets, forecasts and scenarios on a single template. The same account tree from departmental budget up to consolidated P&L.
02
Revenue Management
Room, F&B and other revenue planned by board type, market segment and distribution channel.
03
Cash Flow & Treasury
One chain from the daily cash sheet to a 12-month projection. Banks, cheques, loans and current accounts meet in one statement.
04
Workforce Planning
Headcount, cost and productivity in one model. Position-level planning, payroll simulation and labour productivity analysis.
05
Cost & Inventory
Traceable cost from recipe to departmental cost. Inventory budgets derive from standard consumption, planned volume and inflation.
06
Energy & CAPEX
Energy consumption and capital expenditure tracked alongside the budget — a solid base for sustainability reporting.
07
Reporting & Analytics
One report catalogue from a USALI-aligned P&L to departmental profitability, with drill-down all the way to the account.
08
Approvals & Governance
Who can see what, who approves what — all explicit. Every change is kept in the audit trail.
Groups and clusters
Consolidating eight hotels should not take a day
What works for one hotel collapses at eight. When every property has its own chart of accounts, its own department naming and its own currency, consolidation becomes a monthly manual exercise.
DRM Budget is multi-tenant by design: each hotel works in its own data and consolidation is instant. A cluster is a reporting dimension of its own — group by brand, region, ownership or contract type.

- Shared report template, property-specific chart of accounts
- One reporting currency via the scenario-locked budget FX table
- Per-user scope: a regional manager sees only their hotels
Standard
USALI-aligned, without locking you in
The report structure arrives aligned with the USALI 12-department model, so you are ready when an international investor, operator or bank asks. But the template is not fixed: you can build your own P&L structure and define your own subtotals. A semantic role layer means one hotel can run USALI while another runs its own plan — consolidation still works.

Control and trust
The governance finance teams need is built in
Permissions, scope and approval rules are not afterthoughts; they are the foundation of a multi-user budget cycle.
Scope-based permissions
Each user sees only the properties, departments and cost centres they are responsible for.
Multi-step approvals
Budgets and revisions follow defined routes, with delegation and period locks built in.
Complete audit trail
Every change records who made it, when it happened and which value was changed.
Multi-currency
Work in local currency and consolidate through an FX table locked to the scenario.
Getting started
Onboarding in three steps
You do not start from a blank sheet. Your existing chart of accounts and historical figures are imported.
- 01
We set up the structure
Branches, departments, cost centres and your chart of accounts are imported. The setup console measures every step, so a missing definition surfaces before you go live.
- 02
We connect the history
Actuals from your accounting system are mapped to report lines. From day one the budget-versus-actual comparison and the last-year column work.
- 03
We bring the team on
Roles, permissions and the approval chain are defined. Department heads see only their own data. After training we run your first budget cycle together.
Common questions
What to know before you decide
DRM Budget is not an ERP that tears out your existing systems; it is the financial planning and management layer for your hotel.
Explore all questions01Do we need to replace our accounting system?
No. Actuals are brought in from your existing accounting system and mapped into DRM Budget’s reporting structure. Your accounting records stay in their current system.
02Can we use our own chart of accounts?
Yes. Each property can retain its own chart. The mapping layer connects local accounts to shared P&L lines so consolidation still follows one structure.
03Can we manage multiple properties together?
Yes. Properties remain separate for data and user scope, while the central team can consolidate authorised properties by brand, region or ownership cluster.
04How does onboarding work?
We import your chart of accounts, department structure and historical data, then define roles and approval chains. Training and hands-on support accompany the first budget cycle.
