Most people find Eximware through coffee. That is where many of our clients first heard about us, and it makes sense: the coffee world is tight; word of mouth gets around, and we have been part of it for over 25 years.
What tends to surprise people is that our platform also runs commodities such as nuts and dried fruits, using our contract management, position tracking, and sourcing tools. We may not talk about it as often, and we should, so this page is part of our effort to share more about the other commodities we cover.
For example, a dried apricot trader in 2026 is not having an easy year. In 2025, frost in Türkiye wiped out apricot yields so badly that recovery is expected to take multiple growing seasons. Global raisin production slipped from 1.33 million metric tons to about 1.26 million this year. And if you export to Europe, you are watching the new MOAH regulations that Germany and the Netherlands already started enforcing, while the EU is still debating nickel limits for pecans at the committee level.
Those numbers change what you can buy, where from, and at what cost. They also decide whether the product clears compliance once it lands.
On the commercial side, it gets layered fast:
Put all of that together, and you start to see why generic ERP software does not quite fit.
We hear a version of this setup pretty regularly: purchasing has a contracts spreadsheet, logistics has a shipments spreadsheet, quality results live in a shared folder somewhere, and the financial position is something the operations manager rebuilds from scratch in Excel when the CEO wants to see it, and this process can work until it does not.
The tipping point is usually something specific. A supplier misses a delivery, and you need to reallocate inventory across four sales commitments. Or the market moves 8% in a week and you need to know your actual exposure right now, not tomorrow after someone finishes updating the file. The cost there is not the extra hours. It is the quality of the decisions you are making while the picture is still being assembled.
PXM is Eximware's trade and risk management platform, built for agricultural commodities from the start. It works for importers, traders, roasters, and processors.
For nuts and dried fruits, it follows the trade from first contract to final report.
Contracts hold what you would expect: product, origin, description, quantity, pricing, delivery, counterparty. Pricing, and amendments stay in one place, so no side documents and no hunting through old email for a number.
Your position is there the moment you open the system, physical and financial already consolidated. Trade hazelnuts, the market moves Tuesday morning, and you know where you stand that morning, not Wednesday.
Logistics ties back to the same contract data, so shipments, scheduling, and inventory update on their own. Dried fruits from Türkiye and almonds from California at once? Both in one place.
Quality is where teams save the most time. Samples and grading results sit with their lot and contract, instead of in a spreadsheet that someone updates by hand.
Reporting draws from all of it. Customer position, contract-level P&L, delivery by destination. A customer asks what they have open, and the answer is already there.
XMS is a separate product. Where PXM handles the trade lifecycle end to end, XMS is built specifically for sourcing: requesting pricing and tracking availability with your suppliers.
If you buy nuts or dried fruits from a few different origins, you know the drill. The same request goes out to several suppliers, each in its own email thread. Then you are comparing replies by hand, usually in a spreadsheet, trying to remember who answered and who didn't.
XMS pulls that into one place. You send the request once, offers come back side by side, and you compare them against what you have paid these suppliers before. So you are not just picking the fastest reply. You are picking the right one, with history to back it up.
Same situation, whether you buy cashews, almonds, raisins, or dried mango. Too many emails, not enough clarity on what is actually on the table.
Eximware is not a single commodity system. Coffee, cocoa, nuts, spices and dried fruits can all run on our infrastructure.
For businesses trading more than one commodity, the same proven platform can support each operation. Each commodity is managed in its own environment, with the workflows and position reporting specific to that business.
We have spent over 25 years working with agricultural commodity businesses. If nuts, dried fruits or other commodities are part of your operation and you want to see how PXM and XMS could fit, reach out. A short demo is the easiest way to start.
