After

  • Your team logs time against tasks in seconds. No chasing required
  • Time flows straight into Xero invoices. No re-keying
  • See which projects are profitable right now, not after the fact
  • One dashboard for your pipeline, projects, team and finances

“Drum has been a game-changer for our business.
After struggling with Workflow Max, we were searching for a fresh and user-friendly solution. Drum's clean interface and intuitive layout have significantly improved our time sheeting, quoting, project performance visibility, and billing processes just to name a few.
The Drum team are incredibly responsive to our needs and open to our suggestions. Their willingness to adapt the software to our specific requirements made it an even better fit for our business.
I highly recommend Drum to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient management tool.”

“Drum has become our single source of information for project scheduling, tracking, QA and correspondance.
We used to use multiple platforms across our engineering, drafting and administration teams but now all staff use Drum to achieve a more effective and efficient workflow. Our goal was initially to replace our existing scheduling system.
Drum has given us so much more, and ultimately we now have more streamlined systems and procedures across multiple areas of our business.”
