The Problem

Why managing IT across subsidiaries is difficult

Every subsidiary in your corporate group manages IT independently. That made sense when they were separate companies. Now it's costing you visibility, control, and millions in missed synergies.

You don't know what locations are using

Which software licenses are deployed across your subsidiaries? Which vendors do they work with? What hardware is sitting in their offices? You have no central view.

Everyone buys independently

Fragmented purchasing means lost volume discounts, duplicate subscriptions, and zero leverage with vendors. Every subsidiary negotiates alone instead of using your group's collective buying power.

Different standards and workflows

You need to establish baseline standards without destroying operational flexibility. But without a platform every standardization effort becomes a bureaucratic nightmare.

Resources aren't shared

Without visibility across subsidiaries, you can't optimize allocation, share equipment, or make smart decisions about what to buy or what to transfer.

You can't allocate costs accurately

Which subsidiary is driving IT spend? You don't know. Cost allocation happens manually through spreadsheets and guesswork. When finance asks, you're piecing together invoices.

The Solution

From fragmented chaos

to unified control

equipme connects all your subsidiaries into one platform giving headquarters the visibility and control they need while letting each entity operate with the autonomy they require.

Asset Management

Track resources across all entities in real-time

Get instant visibility into what every subsidiary owns, uses, and needs. Know exactly where resources are deployed and who's responsible for them across your entire corporate group.

‍

  • View & manage all resources across every subsidiary
  • Filter by entity, department, or resource type to find what you need
  • Generate group-wide or entity-specific views in seconds

‍

Self-Service

Define standards, deploy across all subsidiaries

Set group-wide procurement standards that work for every subsidiary. Create standardized catalogs and approval workflows while giving each entity the flexibility to request what they need.

  • Create standardized resource catalogs
  • Let each entity customize requests within your catalogs
  • Maintain control over what gets purchased

    • ‍

    Vendor Management

    Leverage group-wide purchasing power

    Treat vendors as group partners, not subsidiary suppliers. Consolidate relationships where it makes sense, standardize terms, and unlock volume discounts by showing vendors your combined purchasing power.

    • Use your group's total volume to negotiate better terms
    • Eliminate duplicate contracts for the same services
    • Standardize vendor relationships while allowing exceptions

    ‍

    Controlling

    Reallocate resources and assign costs

    Move resources between subsidiaries as needs change and track every transfer. Allocate costs to the right entity automatically so finance always knows which subsidiary drives IT spend.

  • Transfer resources between subsidiaries instead of purchasing new
  • Allocate costs to the correct subsidiary automatically
  • Provide finance with accurate, entity-level IT cost breakdowns

    FAQs

    From integration to cost allocation, here are the questions we hear most from corporate group IT managers.

    Contact Support
    How does cost allocation work across subsidiaries?

    Every resource, purchase, and service is automatically assigned to the responsible subsidiary. equipme tracks costs at the entity level and generates chargeback reports showing exactly what each subsidiary spent. Finance gets accurate breakdowns without manual calculations or spreadsheets.

    Can subsidiaries only see their own data, or does everyone see everything?

    You control exactly what each subsidiary sees. By default, subsidiaries only access their own resources and data. Headquarters gets full visibility across all entities. You can grant cross-subsidiary access when needed—for example, letting subsidiaries see available resources at other locations for transfers.

    Can we have both group-wide vendors and subsidiary-specific suppliers?

    Yes. You can define preferred vendors at the group level while allowing subsidiaries to use local suppliers when needed. equipme shows you both centralized and decentralized spending so you can identify opportunities to consolidate or recognize when local vendors make sense.

    Can we transfer resources between locations?

    Yes. When one subsidiary has unused equipment and another needs it, you can transfer resources through equipme. The platform tracks the transfer, updates ownership, reallocates costs, and maintains a complete audit trail of which entity is responsible for each resource.

    Do we need to onboard all subsidiaries at once?

    No. Most corporate groups start with headquarters and one or two subsidiaries, then roll out to others gradually. This lets you refine processes and prove value before expanding.
