Sigma for hospitality and travel teams
Give each location, franchisee, and owner live numbers, change prices with approval, and run event day on data that’s minutes old.
Each location sees its own numbers
Embedded reporting for GMs, franchisees, and owners, with access set by your hierarchy.
Prices changed with approval
Analysts model the volume impact, revenue managers approve, and each change keeps its history.
Event day on live data
Scans, sales, and concessions in minutes, with staff moved where the line is.
Trusted by hospitality, travel, and entertainment teams
Live numbers per location
Every location runs on last week’s spreadsheet
Franchisees wait for emailed reports, GM forecasts pass through version after version, pricing lives in one analyst’s workbook, and event numbers arrive after the event.
| Today | With Sigma |
|---|---|
| Hand-built franchisee and owner reports emailed daily and mostly unread | Each GM, franchisee, and owner sees live numbers for their locations |
| GM forecasts pass through version after version in shared spreadsheets | GMs submit their property’s forecast in the app with every edit recorded |

| Event-day numbers pulled together the next morning | Scans, sales, and concessions on live data during the event |
| Month-end variance chased one budget holder at a time | Budget holders explain variances in the app and save them to the warehouse |
| Each “why is this high?” waits days for the analytics team | GMs ask their own questions on governed data |
From the front of house to the P&L
Live data for each location, and a place to record what each team decides.
No emailed reports
Give GMs, franchisees, and owners their own live numbers
Embed reporting for thousands of GMs, franchisees, or property owners. Row-level security by hierarchy means each sees only their locations, with region averages for context.
- Single-unit and multi-unit views from one template
- Weekly notes and data collection from franchisees
- Plain-language questions inside the portal
Variances explained
Close the month and explain the variance
Automate outturn, budget variance, and month-end reporting. GMs and budget holders see their own property’s numbers as actuals land, and add commentary in the app instead of email.
- Variance by property, venue, or location
- Commentary saved to the warehouse with who wrote it
- An agent drafts explanations for an owner to approve
Ask what drove the rooms shortfall.

Hospitality, travel, and entertainment FAQs
Can we give thousands of franchisees their own reporting?
Yes. Embed one template and use row-level security by hierarchy, so each franchisee or owner sees only their locations, with aggregated benchmarks for context.
Can each GM enter a forecast for only their property?
Yes. GMs enter forecasts in an input table saved to your warehouse, and row-level security limits each GM to their own property. Finance sees the rolled-up total, and audit logs record each edit.
Can analysts submit price changes for approval?
Yes. Recommendations write to an input table, a revenue manager approves them in the app, and changes keep their history and effective date.
How current is event-day data?
Sigma queries your warehouse live, so numbers are as current as your data loads, with no extract in between.
Can a GM ask why a number is off?
Yes. Sigma Assistant answers from the same governed data as the reports, limited to the locations that GM can see. Agents can draft the explanation for the monthly review, and nothing changes until a manager approves. Sigma agents are in beta.
How do we automate month-end and budget variance reporting?
Build variance reporting on live warehouse data, and let budget holders add commentary in the app, saved back to the warehouse.
Can finance enter reconciliations in the app?
Yes. Reconciliation entries and cost-price edits go into input tables, saved straight to your warehouse, so nothing is reloaded from a spreadsheet. Each edit is logged with who made it.
Can our customers ask questions in plain language?
Yes. Embedded Sigma Assistant lets customers ask questions of their own governed data inside your product.
