Is Sales DX Spreading from Kyushu? 21% of New Adoptions of AI Cloud Phone 'pickupon' are by Kyushu Companies | Strengthening Support for Regional Sales DX with Dedicated Sales Personnel

The AI cloud IP phone service 'pickupon,' provided by pickupon Inc. (Headquarters: Ichikawa, Chiba; CEO: Yoichi Obata), is seeing expanded adoption in the Kyushu area. Companies in the Kyushu region now account for 21% of all new corporate adoptions over the past three months, indicating that usage is spreading primarily among regional businesses.

To address the labor shortages and sales DX (digital transformation) challenges faced by regional companies, the firm is strengthening its community-based support by leveraging a full-remote work structure.

Background of Expanding Adoption in the Kyushu Area In recent years, regional companies have faced challenges regarding labor shortages and the need to improve labor productivity, leading to increased interest in 'Sales DX' to streamline sales activities and facilitate knowledge sharing. Sales DX is gaining attention as an initiative to prevent the reliance on individual sales expertise and to improve results even with limited personnel.

Against this backdrop, adoption of our service, 'pickupon'—which uses AI to record, analyze, and share conversation content—is expanding in the Kyushu area, where a diverse range of industries, including manufacturing, are active.

Kyushu has historically developed as a gateway for foreign culture, new knowledge, and technology to enter Japan. This inherent openness to adopting new technologies and values is considered one of the factors behind the expansion of our service.

Community-Based Support Through Dedicated Sales Personnel Rather than a business model concentrated solely in Tokyo, we have built a structure that leverages the advantages of full-remote work to distribute talent across regional areas. We have currently assigned one dedicated sales representative to the Kyushu area. By actively participating in local networking events and similar activities, we are working to solve challenges in close proximity to our clients.

With labor shortages becoming increasingly severe for regional companies, the importance of Sales DX is growing as a means to streamline sales activities with limited staff. We aim to contribute to the growth of regional companies and the realization of new work styles by walking alongside them as a familiar partner.

Promoting Sales DX from Kyushu to Other Regions We will continue to support the promotion of Sales DX for regional companies, starting from Kyushu. Given the region's historical and cultural receptivity to new initiatives, we will leverage our locally-rooted support system and AI technology to contribute to the efficiency of corporate sales activities.
