Shiji brings cloud-native hospitality technology to Pakistan with first Daylight PMS deployment

Dubai, UAE, febrero 16, 2026 – Shiji,  the global leader in hospitality technology, announced today that, its official entry into Pakistan with the successful go-live of Daylight PMS at Pearl Continental Hotel Rawalpindi, part of the Hashoo Group portfolio. This milestone makes Pearl Continental Rawalpindi the first hotel in Pakistan to operate on Shiji’s cloud-native Daylight PMS, marking a significant step forward in the country’s hospitality digital transformation and setting a new benchmark for guest-centric, secure hotel operations.

The project was delivered through close collaboration between Shiji and Hashoo Group teams and followed an intensive transition period. This included detailed system mapping, scripting, rate code configuration, and hands-on operational training across hotel departments to ensure continuity of service and a smooth cutover to the new platform.

“This project reshaped our understanding of what a Property Management System truly represents,” said Alyas Aziz Malik, Corporate Director IT Hashoo Group. “Daylight PMS is not just a software change; it is the operational heartbeat of the hotel. The transition required resilience, collaboration, and attention to detail, and the learning gained throughout this journey has been invaluable for our team.”

As part of its broader market entry strategy, Shiji will also introduce Infrasys POS to Pakistan, extending its cloud-based technology ecosystem to support complex, multi-outlet food and beverage operations. Together, Daylight PMS and Infrasys POS provide an integrated, end-to-end platform designed around the guest profile, enabling hotels to improve operational visibility, service consistency, and overall guest experience while maintaining strong security and privacy standards.

“As the first property in Pakistan to go live on Daylight PMS, this milestone reflects our commitment to innovation and operational excellence,” said Hayder Niazi, General Manager of Pearl Continental Hotel Rawalpindi. “The dedication shown by both the Shiji team and our hotel colleagues during long and demanding implementation days was remarkable. This successful go-live sets a strong foundation for future growth.”

Daylight PMS is built with a guest-centric architecture at its core, enabling hotels to consolidate guest data securely and deliver more personalized service across touchpoints. Its cloud-native design supports scalability and flexibility, helping hotel groups modernize operations without compromising reliability, data protection, or compliance with privacy requirements.

‍“Entering Pakistan is an important milestone for Shiji,” said Arup Banik, Regional Director of Strategic Sales & Business Development for the Middle East and India of Shiji Group. “PC Hospitality’s trust and partnership demonstrate a shared vision for modern, cloud-native hospitality technology. We are excited to support more hotels in Pakistan with Daylight PMS and Infrasys POS as the market continues to evolve.”

This successful go-live marks the beginning of Shiji’s expansion in Pakistan, with further deployments planned as hospitality groups across the country seek secure, scalable, and integrated technology platforms to support future-ready operations.
