AI Phone Adoption Boosted: 'pickupon' Registered as Eligible Tool for Digitalization & AI Adoption Subsidy 2026 (Formerly IT Introduction Subsidy)

pickupon Inc. (Headquarters: Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture; CEO: Yoichi Obata), provider of 'pickupon', a service that uses AI to record, analyze, and share conversation content, has been selected as an IT introduction support provider for the 'Digitalization & AI Adoption Subsidy 2026' effective June 12, 2026.

As a result, its service 'pickupon' has been registered as an eligible tool under this subsidy program. Eligible small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small-scale businesses can receive subsidies covering up to half of the implementation costs when adopting 'pickupon' for the first time, under the standard category (implementation costs between ¥50,000 and ¥1,500,000).

Sales Teams Are Busiest 'After the Call'

Sales representatives often spend significant time after calls on tasks such as taking notes, entering data into systems, and notifying colleagues. Many companies face challenges due to the burden of post-call documentation.

Recently, 'no-input sales'—where AI handles data entry tasks—has gained attention as part of sales digital transformation (DX). 'pickupon' is an IP phone service equipped with AI functionality to meet this trend. After a call, AI automatically summarizes the conversation and shares it with customer relationship management (CRM) and sales force automation (SFA) systems.

What Is the 'Digitalization & AI Adoption Subsidy 2026' (Formerly IT Introduction Subsidy)?

This subsidy program supports digitalization for SMEs and small-scale businesses facing challenges such as labor shortages and rising wages. Starting in 2026, the program has been revised to place greater emphasis on AI-powered tools, making IT tools with AI capabilities eligible for subsidies.

With 'pickupon' now registered as an eligible tool, businesses can leverage this subsidy to adopt the service, reducing financial burden while improving telephone operation efficiency and sales activities.
