Assess how occupancy and rate decisions affect revenue, how staffing and consumption assumptions affect cost, and how collection terms affect cash. DRM Budget brings department teams and management together around shared periods, scenarios and reports.
ADR, RevPAR, board types, room nights, covers, GOP and departmental profit are part of the planning process. Explain revenue targets through their operating assumptions and review results within your department structure.
Map USALI-oriented report templates to your hotel’s chart of accounts. Define report lines and subtotals to build a consistent structure across department and group reporting.
Review property, regional and group scopes within a shared reporting structure. Map local accounts for comparable results and limit user access to authorised properties.
Review transaction, planning and reporting currencies in the context of the scenario. Keep FX assumptions explicit so you can understand the conditions behind revenue and cost changes.
Define users, roles and permissions together with property and department scope. Make responsibilities explicit from data entry and report access through review and approval.
Review report totals alongside the relevant accounts and source records. Use change and approval history to explain where the figures came from in management discussions.
The same data opens for each user within their scope and at the level of detail they need.
“Is my portfolio on target, and which property is drifting?”
“Where are we against budget this month, and what is expected of me?”
“When will the budget close, and why does the consolidated figure not tie?”
“What is my target, and where am I off track?”
Use the demo to explore the questions your hotel needs to answer and the data required to answer them.
| Decision | Starting data | Workflow | Resulting view |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget revision | Monthly plan and assumptions | Separate forecast scenario | Budget–forecast variance |
| Revenue target | Room nights, rates, segments | Volume and rate planning | Occupancy, ADR, RevPAR |
| Cash needs | Balances and due dates | Calendar-based projection | Cash threshold and risk weeks |
| Workforce cost | Positions and pay | Monthly staffing scenario | FTE and cost comparison |
| Group performance | Property data and mappings | Shared reporting scope | Property and department comparison |
| Approval control | Permissions and responsibilities | Defined approval route | Approval status and change history |
Implementation scope is agreed around your property count, account and department structure, data readiness and required modules.
No. DRM Budget does not replace your accounting system, it sits on top of it. Actuals come from your existing system and are mapped to report lines. Your books stay where they are.
Yes. A mapping layer ties your local accounts to shared report lines. In a group, each hotel can keep its own chart while the consolidated report still comes out in one structure.
The timeline depends on account and department mappings, historical data readiness, the number of properties and selected modules. We agree the scope and initial usage target together after the demo.
On servers hosted in Türkiye. Each tenant’s data is logically isolated, and users reach only the branches and departments they are authorised for. We share our backup and access policies before any contract.
We quote based on room count, number of properties and the modules you need. We do not publish a standard price list, because a single hotel and an eight-property group do not have the same requirements. After a demo call we send a firm quote.
Yes. The executive mobile view (app.drmbudget.com/m) compares revenue, occupancy, ADR and RevPAR with budget and last year, shows bank balances and upcoming loan instalments, and lets you approve pending cash items from your phone. No app store is needed; add it to your home screen. An optional 08:00 morning brief notification is also available.
Yes. The Excel add-in brings consolidated P&L, 12-month and department reports into Excel live, and the =DRM.DEGER formula lets you build your own management sheets. Within your permissions you can also enter revenue, headcount, department budgets and cash plans from Excel. Excel figures come from the same calculation pipeline as web and mobile.
DRM Gateway, installed on your hotel server, transfers PMS, accounting and inventory data over an outbound-only, signed and encrypted connection; no firewall ports are opened and no VPN is required. Your IT team writes a read-only view that maps its tables to defined fields. Before a gateway is in place, actuals can also be imported with an Excel template.
Let us walk you through it in 30 minutes — on your department structure, your chart of accounts and your numbers. Not a canned demo: your scenario.
