What DRM Budget is
DRM Budget is web software for budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, and cost management in hotels and hotel groups. Its financial planning module compares budgets, forecasts, last year, and actuals through a shared account tree. Revenue planning covers rooms, food and beverage, and other revenue by board type, market segment, and distribution channel. Cash Flow & Treasury supports daily cash statements and 13-week and medium-term projections. Other modules cover workforce planning, including headcount and payroll simulation, inventory budgets, energy use and costs, and capital projects. Hotel groups can consolidate authorized properties by brand, region, or ownership cluster while preserving property-specific accounts and departments. Actuals are imported from the hotel's existing accounting system and mapped into DRM Budget; the accounting system remains in place, and the page does not name specific integrations. Permissions, approval routes, delegation, period locks, and an audit trail support financial governance. Onboarding includes importing data and account structures, setting roles and approvals, and training through the first budget cycle. Pricing is available on request.
