Paul Mechaalani began working in sourcing in China in 2012 and expanded into shipping coordination in 2017. The work exposed a recurring problem: each part of a business trip lived in a different call, contact, or tool.
A supplier conversation did not naturally carry into travel planning or shipping follow-up. Visitors had to rebuild the same context as they moved from one task to the next.
Shipay grew from that practical gap. Its SHI-X app brings local services and the wider trader journey into one interface, with clear boundaries around the independent providers that complete bookings, payments, and fulfilment.
