Shiji Group’s latest IPORT integration is redefining what all-in-one devices can deliver for the hospitality sector. Moving beyond traditional food and beverage solutions, the company has developed a hardware-agnostic platform designed to support workflows across an entire property – from POS and PMS to reputation management and HR applications.
A key advantage lies in the use of iOS. As Christine Lising, Vice President at Shiji, explains, team members tend to adopt new tools more quickly when they already feel familiar. There’s something that happens when you put an iOS device in someone’s hand – the barrier goes down, and they’re willing to learn,
she says.
This familiarity also enables properties to extend the device’s use beyond guest-facing roles. Back-of-house applications such as microlearning and team engagement tools become accessible on a single device, supporting both operational efficiency and staff retention. We have to do everything possible to attract and retain talent,
Christine notes. This gives team members the tools they need to elevate the guest experience – and take ownership of it.
Shiji’s approach reflects a broader shift towards flexibility in hospitality technology. By enabling multiple operational functions on a single device, the company helps properties simplify their hardware ecosystems and create a seamless experience for staff and guests alike.
