Business Challenge

The overwhelming and resource intensive task of maintaining FX rates for 35+ currencies prompted Hologic to search for an automated solution for currency exchange rates - both daily and period average rates. The most important requirements were accuracy of rates and timeliness of their availability.

Why FXLoader?

Rates Source Hologic chose Xignite who provide authentic market rates for all tradeable currencies. FXLoader also offer a range of alternative sources for market and central bank rates. Automation 100% automation is provided. FXLoader populates rates between all enabled currencies overnight, so all rates are available when they are needed. The average calculation is run at month end to facilitate translation of subsidiary ledgers. Simplicity The process is simple and robust, tightly integrated into E-Business Suite using Oracle supported APls. Installation is quick, easy and automated. Reporting Hologic also chose the FXLoader reporting add-ons, Daily Rates Report and Rates Web Page, to provide access to the rates across the organization.
