Perfection

This is exactly the tool I was looking for. I primarily use it for generating quotes quickly and easily for projects. I have explored and started to use more of the functionality as time goes on. Drum is becoming an evermore integral part of my business. I can only reiterate the comments below about how well it works and how awesome the support is. As with any software, it is not without problems, but the developers care deeply about their product and will not tolerate any bugs. Day or night any issues I've had with the software have been rectified within minutes. Feature requests are welcomed and implemented. It is a mile away from the faceless SanFran wannabes. This is the real deal, with professionals at the helm, delivering the exact product that people need to blend their projects, time management and financial controls with Xero. - Engineering Consultancy Director

Awesome

This system is super user friendly and adaptable and integrates with Xero flawlessly. The creator is very hands on and available to assist when and wherever is needed. Service is top notch. I'd highly recommend Drum!

Great Project Management Software

Drum is a complete project management software; easily capturing time and expense recoding for a large data base of projects and then seamlessly manipulating this into a wide range financial reports in which to help analyse business performance. Resourcing, utilisation and invoicing are part of the interface and additional approval processes, and report creations are attainable. Its synchronisation with Xero is of great benefit too. The team are friendly and responsive and willing to help to make the software a better product for clients.
