Overview
Speedcast is a global leader in satellite communications and network services, running one of the world's largest hybrid networks. It supports critical operations across maritime, energy, mining, government, and media. When Speedcast's B2B operations in Malaysia came under LHDN's e-invoicing mandate, it needed a solution that fit into enterprise workflows rather than forcing them to change.
Under LHDN, invoices have to be submitted in a structured format and validated through the MyInvois platform, with every field from supply type to tax code to TRN checked before it is accepted. Speedcast's global ERP was never built for Malaysia's local rules, and replacing it across a global operation was not an option.
The Challenge
Speedcast entered Malaysia with one goal: stay compliant without slowing down a single operational workflow. LHDN's deadlines were approaching fast. The global ERP was not built for Malaysia's compliance rules, yet replacing it was impossible. Every field, from supply type to tax code to TRN, had to be validated before submission, and none of it could interrupt the operation.
The Solution
Developer-first middleware. Complyance connected directly into Speedcast's ERP through secure REST APIs, transforming every invoice into LHDN-compliant JSON.
A validation and audit engine. Every field, tax rule, and conditional requirement was checked upfront, before submission to LHDN.
A self-service dashboard. Finance and audit teams got real-time tracking from invoice creation through to LHDN submission.
A path toward Peppol. The platform is Peppol-ready, so Speedcast can shift toward Peppol adoption when the time comes without another migration.
The Impact
Speedcast went live in four weeks with complete B2B e-invoicing compliance in Malaysia. There was zero downtime, a 100% compliance rate, and materially better visibility for the finance and audit teams.
