Shiji and IPORT partner to transform hotel and restaurant operations with all-in-one iOS mobility solution

New collaboration delivers modular, future-ready devices that unify PMS, POS, guest activity management, and guest feedback tools, empowering hospitality teams to serve anywhere, anytime.

HOLLYWOOD, FL, USA, June 16, 2025 - Shiji, a global leader in hospitality technology, has joined forces with IPORT to launch a fully integrated, all-in-one tablet and payment solution designed for hotels and restaurants. Built around the iPadOS ecosystem, this partnership integrates Shiji’s Daylight PMS, Infrasys POS, Meridian Experiences, and Reviewpro Reputation solutions with IPORT’s modular hardware, enabling seamless mobility across the entire property. The result is a scalable, secure, and familiar platform that empowers staff to deliver exceptional guest experiences, whether at the front desk, poolside, or in a pop-up venue.

IPORT’s modular hardware seamlessly supports a wide range of iOS devices (including iPad, iPad Pro, iPad Mini, and iPhone) offering unmatched flexibility across hospitality environments. From handheld iPads in protective cases for tableside service to docked configurations ideal for banquet setups or pop-up venues, and centralized charging at the front desk, IPORT enables hotels to tailor their technology to their unique service models.  

Through this collaboration, IPORT’s hardware works hand-in-hand with a broad range of core Shiji solutions, ensuring that hotels can unify guest service, operations, and reputation management across a single mobile platform. This seamless integration not only simplifies workflows but enables staff to stay connected and responsive from anywhere on the property.

“We’re proud to partner with IPORT to deliver a solution that aligns perfectly with the way modern hospitality operates,” said Ryan King, Senior Vice President of Shiji in the Americas. “Hotels and restaurants need flexible, secure, and scalable tools that can evolve with their service models. By integrating Shiji’s software with IPORT’s modular hardware, we’re helping hospitality teams create more mobile, efficient, and guest-focused experiences—without the need to overhaul their tech stack.”

The integrated solution simplifies the payment process by seamlessly integrating with multiple payment gateways, allowing hoteliers to choose the system that best suits their needs. This reduces operational complexities, minimizes errors, and saves valuable time and resources. Furthermore, the use of iOS devices ensures a familiar and reliable environment for staff, reducing the training curve and instilling confidence in IT teams regarding security and robustness.

“At IPORT, we design modular, enterprise-grade solutions that unlock the full potential of iOS in hospitality,” said Chris Lawson, Head of Sales & Partnerships at IPORT. “Our collaboration with Shiji brings together best-in-class hardware and software to create seamless, mobile-first experiences for hotels and restaurants. Together, we’re empowering operators to move beyond legacy systems and embrace a more agile, guest-centric future.”

This collaboration addresses key challenges in the hospitality industry by replacing purpose-built, end-of-life hardware with sleek, iOS devices that are scalable and easy to update. By removing limitations created by fixed provider partnerships, hotels gain more control over their payment ecosystems. The modular solution empowers IT and operations teams with a future-ready system that adapts to changing property layouts and service models, ensuring longevity and adaptability in a rapidly evolving industry.
