SHI Direct
The power of SHI International at your fingertips
SHI Direct offers customers an easy and convenient way to access SHI's unrivaled IT hardware catalog, without the need to commit to to a fully managed business account.
From humble beginnings in 1989, SHI International has become one of the world’s largest providers of technology solutions, including hardware and software from thousands of vendors. It’s a business built on relationships and the personal touch.
It’s this experience that leads to SHI developing long-term, deeply loyal, relationships with our larger customers. But we also remember what it’s like to be a fast-growing business that just needs access to solutions quickly, with the minimum of fuss and red tape.
SHI Direct is a new offering that gives you access to SHI’s immense catalog of hardware items, plus selected world-class services, without the need to commit to a managed business account.
Simply browse the catalog, create an account and purchase. As simple as that.
