Fairmas

Fairmas is modular financial planning and business intelligence software for hotel finance teams and owners. It is best suited to hospitality organizations planning or consolidating results across departments and properties. Its hotel-focused planning and reporting are the draw; custom pricing makes a demo the practical first step.

Overview

Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Berlin, Fairmas covers budgeting, forecasting, controlling and management reporting. FairPlanner supports revenue, cost and profit planning across hotel P&L areas, with scenario comparisons and portfolio performance analysis. Separate capabilities address cash flow, revenue analytics and hotel asset reporting.

Support for multi-property accounting, consolidated reporting, payroll accounting and department reporting makes Fairmas a credible fit for organizations coordinating hotel finances across operations. The emphasis is on hospitality workflows, not broad-purpose accounting.

Key features

Planning and cash flow

FairPlanner combines hotel P&L planning with scenario comparisons and portfolio analysis, helping finance teams assess alternatives and compare performance across properties. Its cash flow module supports balance sheet accounts, operating cash flow imports, P&L rules, currency conversion and Excel exports. That range suits hotel finance work, though organizations should weigh the modular scope against the effort of choosing and pricing the pieces they need.

Revenue and asset reporting

Revenue Planning & Analytics supports daily or monthly planning and analysis of on-the-books reservations and pickup by market segment. It is accessible via the web and mobile devices, which is useful for teams reviewing revenue plans away from a desktop. Hotel Asset Reporting is web-based and automates collection, standardization and consolidation of hotel performance data, a particular advantage for owners and asset managers assembling comparable property reporting.

Integrations, access and security

Fairmas lists more than 200 integrations across PMS, ERP, RMS, DMS, benchmarking tools and rate shoppers. Its interface team also assesses requests and develops integrations with customers and technology partners, offering a route for organizations whose systems are not already covered. Role-based access controls permissions for reports and financial data. Fairmas says browser-to-server communication uses SSL and that its software forces SSL communication; EU customers’ data is stored and processed in the EU legal area in accordance with GDPR, and data is backed up to a separate server every 24 hours.

Pricing

Fairmas is paid software with custom pricing. The modular hospitality software plan requires contacting Fairmas for a demo and pricing; no fixed price, seat allowance, trial term or renewal commitment is stated. A 45-minute demo with a member of its Business Development Team is the clearest next step for a buyer who needs to scope modules and costs. This is a poor fit for smaller operators who need to compare transparent rates before investing time in a sales process.

Platforms

Fairmas supports Android, iOS and web. Revenue Planning & Analytics is accessible via web and mobile devices; Hotel Asset Reporting is web-based.

Who it's for

Fairmas is designed for independent hotels, hotel groups, management companies, owners and asset managers. Its strongest case is an organization that needs hotel-specific budgeting and forecasting alongside consolidated reporting or performance analysis across properties. Teams looking only for a simple accounting package may find the planning and asset-reporting breadth unnecessary.

Pros and cons

• Hotel Investor Apps is another paid option for buyers comparing hospitality software across Android, iOS, web and API platforms.

Verdict

Choose Fairmas if your hotel organization needs connected planning, revenue analysis and reporting across properties, departments or ownership portfolios. Its hotel-specific scope and substantial integration catalog are the main reasons to consider it. Look elsewhere if you need a clear price before speaking with a vendor or only require a simpler accounting tool.
