Fixed allocation, evolving execution

Budget Activity Tracker helps manage changing spending and resource needs within a fixed (usually annual) budget environment.

Working to a fixed budget is common within public sector departments or public private partnerships (PPP) and private finance initiatives (PFI). Budgets are fixed but plans evolve, bringing unique accounting, reporting and management challenges that are not easily solved.

Bathmat is a portfolio & programme management tool designed specifically to work within the budget requirements typical of government departments, PPP and PFI contracts.

Budget execution can be tracked against multiple plans (scenarios), each scenario being linked back to original allocation.

Bathmat's Variance Viewer gives an instant overview of execution against plan or allocation. Unlike most other tools, live comparisons are available in less than a second (typical) and simple "drill-down" navigation quickly pinpoints contributors to variance.

The clear easy-to-use planning module lets multiple contributors create and revise multi-year plans and tracks changes between each version of each plan.

What is Bathmat?

Focussed on tracking and managing change, Bathmat is a proven software database framework on which custom budget management solutions are built.

With Bathmat you can plan, snapshot, track and report variance; identify major deviations; create multiple working baselines and reconcile actual spend.

Access to Bathmat is via any standard web browser. Secure multi-user authenticated access controls restrict who can view and modify data.
