POS+ Cloud-Based Mobile POS Recognized as a Vendor for Digitalization and AI Subsidy

Postas Inc., headquartered in Chuo, Tokyo, has announced its certification as a vendor eligible for the 'Digitalization and AI Introduction Subsidy' aimed at improving productivity and operational efficiency for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This subsidy is designed to support the implementation of IT tools that leverage digital technologies and AI to enhance business operations. With this certification, solutions offered by Postas, including the industry-specific cloud-based mobile POS system 'POS+,' as well as self-checkout systems and ticket vending machines, can now be utilized as part of the subsidy program.

In light of upcoming changes to consumption tax rates, businesses need to prepare for regulatory shifts in their operations. The cloud-based POS+ system is particularly advantageous as it allows for easy app updates during tax rate adjustments, enabling comprehensive management of tax rate changes through the management interface, significantly reducing the burden on staff. Using this subsidy, the initial costs associated with implementing such cloud POS systems can also be mitigated.

Additionally, Postas has an impressive acceptance rate of 92.1% with its partner companies, who provide comprehensive support throughout the application process, implementation, and post-grant reporting. This ensures that even those unfamiliar with the application process can navigate it confidently. Moreover, since contracts are formed only after the subsidy is accepted, there are no upfront payments or procedural costs required prior to acceptance, allowing for consultations and applications without financial risk regardless of the outcome.

Looking ahead, Postas remains committed to its mission of 'Creating a step forward in hospitality together.' By leveraging technology, the company aims to support the establishment of a data infrastructure that enhances operational efficiency, allowing staff to concentrate on providing customer service that only humans can deliver.
