What Xware does

Xware AB is a Stockholm-based software company founded in 1991 that provides enterprise and government integration through its flagship xTrade Business Communications Suite. xTrade is a module-based platform that handles A2A (Application-to-Application), B2B (Business-to-Business) and IoT integration, supporting a broad range of protocols (SSH-FTP, FTPS, SMTP, OFTP, AS1-4, JMS, MQ, Web Services) and format transformations (EDIFACT, XML, binary). The platform is configured graphically without programming and includes queue management, routing, format transformation, security, alarm/monitoring and integrated certificate management as built-in features rather than add-ons.

Technically, xTrade is differentiated by Swedish Armed Forces Security Accreditation, automatic recovery from disturbances, and a design that allows legacy and modern systems to coexist without modification. The platform has been deployed in mission-critical environments since the mid-1990s, processing workloads such as CGI's 450 million messages/year, ~100,000 daily messages at Karolinska Hospital, real-time pricing across 2,800 OKQ8 stations, and integration between operational sites and the SAP PRIO ERP system for the Swedish Armed Forces.

Since April 30, 2019, Xware has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Australian-listed WiseTech Global (ASX: WTC), which uses xTrade as the foundation for its own integration bus. The company sells primarily through annual subscriptions for the xTrade platform and support agreements, supplemented by training and certification services, and distributes through both direct enterprise sales in the Nordics and a channel partner network that includes Swedwise (healthcare), CAG (defense/integration consulting), Zinnovate (logistics VAN), Vipetech (document management), and Inobiz (data mapping).
