Never invent a number
Actuals, budget assumptions and forecasts have different meanings. Users should be able to understand the period and scenario they are reviewing, the source of the data and any missing information.
About
Written by the people who had the problem
DRM Budget did not come from a software company deciding to “enter the hotel market”. It came out of the budgeting and reporting process inside a hotel.
How it started
This began with a frustration that repeated every year: budget season arrives, spreadsheets go out to departments, the returns get merged, formulas get checked, and when the consolidated figure does not tie, the whole thing starts again.
Looking at the planning tools on the market, they fell into two camps: either general enough to fit every industry and therefore fitting a hotel not at all, or enterprise systems so heavy that onboarding took months and no department head could be handed one.
That gap was the opportunity. A platform that knows the hotel’s own concepts, works with USALI, and is still light enough for a department head to use. DRM Budget was built on that idea and matured on real hotel data, through real budget cycles.
What we believe
Restraint is a choice
Our screens are not flashy. A finance screen is somewhere people stare at for six hours a day; what helps there is legibility and speed, not colour and animation.
Permissions are closed by default
We consider property, department and action scope alongside user permissions. Data entry, reporting and approval responsibilities should be explicitly defined.
The product grows with its customers
Most of our roadmap comes from the hotels using it. A problem solved for one customer becomes standard for everyone else facing the same thing.
