Equilume: Unified Global Operations with Multi-Currency ERP Across Three Continents

IMPLEMENTATION SNAPSHOT

Country	Multi-country (Ireland, USA, Australia)
Industry	Manufacturing
Days to Deploy	79 days
Active Users	18 users across Ireland headquarters, USA sales, and Australia operations
Time to Full Productivity	4 months (from go-live to full operational integration across regions)

For a scaling manufacturing biotech business operating across three continents with multiple currencies and regulatory requirements, fragmented systems create blind spots. Equilume needed unified financial visibility without derailing product development and market expansion.

KEY FIGURES AT A GLANCE

Metric	Impact
Multi-Currency Transactions	Unified USD, EUR, AUD across 12+ distributor relationships
Intercompany Automation	Eliminated manual flow between Ireland (HQ), USA (sales), Australia (operations)
Financial Close Timeline	Reduced from 15 days to 5 days across three legal entities
Working Capital Visibility	Identified timing gaps across regions
Revenue Recognition	Accurate distributor commission tracking and regional profitability
Finance Team Capacity	Freed up 22 hours/week of currency conversion and manual reconciliation work

The Bottom Line: Equilume transformed from three semi-independent regional operations into an integrated global biotech company with real-time financial visibility, enabling confident scaling across the equine market.

KEY WINS

✅ Three subsidiaries share one financial language - Ireland (R&D headquarters), USA (North American sales), and Australia (Southern Hemisphere operations) now operate with unified accounting, eliminating duplicate entries and reconciliation nightmares

✅ Multicurrency transactions fully automated - Orders and invoices in USD, EUR, and AUD convert automatically with proper accounting at transaction level, eliminating manual FX tracking and hidden currency losses

✅ Distributor commissions tracked accurately - Commission calculations, payment reconciliation, and per-distributor profitability across 12+ countries are now transparent and automated

✅ Intercompany transfers eliminated manual chaos - When USA subsidiary sells product sourced through Ireland, or Australia places orders with headquarters, accounting flows automatically with proper audit trails

✅ Regional profitability finally visible - Breeding-focused Australia, sport-horse focused USA, research-driven Europe markets each reveal true margin contribution

✅ Scaling without adding finance headcount - Finance team freed from 20+ hours/week of reconciliation can focus on analysis, forecasting, and growth strategy

THE STORY: Managing Multi-Currency ERP Across Three Continents

Three Regions, Three Systems, One Growing Problem

Dublin, Ireland. Equilume specializes in scientifically formulated light therapy for equine health and performance. Used by breeding operations, sport horse trainers, and research institutions worldwide, their products improve reproductive cycles, enhance athletic recovery, and support evidence-based management.

The company operated as three semi-independent subsidiaries: Ireland headquarters (R&D and finance), USA office (North American sales), and Australia operations (Southern Hemisphere distribution). Each region used its own systems. Orders arrived in different currencies. The finance team spent more time reconciling currency conversions and intercompany transactions than analyzing actual performance.

Every month meant 15 days closing the books manually. Currency conversions were entered into spreadsheets. Intercompany transactions, when USA sold product from Ireland, or Australia placed orders with headquarters, required manual journal entries and endless reconciliation. No one knew which market was actually profitable.

When Global Growth Requires Global Visibility

Equilume's challenge was different from single-location manufacturers. This wasn't about inventory or production. It was about financial complexity. Three legal entities. Three currencies. Multiple distributors across 12+ countries. Regulatory requirements that differed by region.

Equilume was growing fast. Market opportunities wouldn't wait. They needed a cloud-native platform that could handle global complexity but deploy fast. Multi-currency support built in. Intercompany accounting automated. Regional reporting without spreadsheets.

The Solution and What Changed

Equilume chose Enterpryze because it was built for exactly this scenario: scaling biotech companies across multiple regions with different currencies. The platform handled USD, EUR, and AUD transactions automatically. Intercompany flows templated and automated. Financial close with a single reconciliation view instead of three spreadsheets. And it deployed in 79 days.

Within four months of going live, everything transformed.

For the first time, they had one unified general ledger. Transactions converted automatically at transaction level. No more manual FX tracking. Intercompany transactions that used to require email chains flowed automatically. When USA sold product from Ireland, accounting was correct by default.

Financial close compressed from 15 days to 5. The finance team suddenly had visibility they'd never had. They could see which regions were actually profitable. Breeding-focused Australia was strong. Sport-horse USA had higher margins than expected. Research partnerships in Europe showed real strategic value.

With unified financials in place, Equilume scales more confidently. New markets are evaluated on actual profitability data instead of hope. Regional managers understand true operating costs. The finance team, no longer buried in reconciliation, can focus on forecasting, tax optimization, and growth.

"Three regions used to feel like three separate companies. Now we're actually operating as one global business." - Melissa Hyland, Equilume Finance Leadership.
