SHI is an undisputed leader in e-commerce tools and technology. For over a decade, we’ve provided innovative
technology solutions to help our customers drive down the cost of IT acquisition, lower processing costs,
and provide superior visibility to their IT spend. No other supplier can match SHI’s ability to customize and
integrate our tools with your strategic platforms of procurement, asset management and payment solutions
so that they match the way you want to do business.
E-Commerce Platforms
When it comes to supporting an IT environment, one size DOES NOT fit all. That’s why we offer our customers
a choice of two e-commerce platforms – SHI.com and the SHI Procurement System (SHIPS).
 SHI.com or SHIDirect.com combines the easy use of a consumer-oriented site with the power of
a leading B2B platform. It provides end-users with a managed catalog that supports the technology
decisions and volume purchasing agreements unique to your organization. Users can also access
inventory levels, check the status of pending orders and track their usage through asset management
tools and reporting.
 SHIPS offers larger customers additional customization that can include features such as multilingual
support, approval routing, integration to customers’ advanced procurement platforms and custom
hardware configuration tools. SHIPS also gives you the ability to define the content and the terminology
that appears on the page so that it aligns with the way you choose to work.
Advanced Integration to your Systems
SHI understands that in today’s world, you need your systems to work together.
SHI’s tools have been designed from the ground-up to integrate with your
other strategic platforms, such as procurement systems, asset management
solutions and helpdesk ticketing systems.
We support a variety of tools and technologies for integrating our systems
with yours, including: cXML, OCI, Rosetta Net and EDI. We’ve used these
to provide integrations with leading e-procurement platforms, such as Ariba,
Oracle, SAP and PeopleSoft, either connecting directly with our customers or
working through supplier networks or marketplaces such as the Ariba Supplier
Network, Oracle Exchange, Pantellos or SciQuest.
We can also integrate to your own locally developed solutions, using XML,
EDI, text files, email based processes, BizTalk, SAML, and more!
