IVRy Inc., which provides the conversational voice AI SaaS “IVRy,” is pleased to announce that it has entered into a business partnership with Ehime Bank Ltd. in April.
The conversational voice AI SaaS “IVRy” allows you to freely set up call response branching, and offers a wide range of functions, including automatic AI response and reservation services, recording, transcription and AI summarization, SMS sending, customer management (CRM), and call notification on LINE and chat tools.
Through this business alliance, we will utilize Ehime Bank’s strong regional network to promote business efficiency in companies and accelerate the use of AI through “IVRy,” thereby contributing to resolving labor shortages at companies in Ehime Prefecture.

According to the results of a survey published by the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 2024, more than 60% of small and medium-sized enterprises responded that they were “short of manpower.” Looking at the results by industry, 60-80% of companies in many industries responded that they were “very serious (business operations are seriously affected and there is a possibility of closure)” or “serious (business continuity may be hindered).”
In addition, according to the demographic survey released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in 2024, Ehime Prefecture’s population is expected to decrease by 14,887 people from the previous year to 1,312,298, making the region’s labor shortage even more serious.
In light of this, as interest in streamlining and automating business operations grows among small and medium-sized enterprises, Ehime Bank will introduce “IVRy” through this business alliance and support management in many ways by responding to customer requests for streamlining business operations. We will strive to provide stable operation of “IVRy” and develop more convenient functions so that small and medium-sized enterprises that have not been able to use the latest technology until now can use AI services cheaply and easily.
The business alliance between our company and Ehime Bank is an initiative that will contribute to strengthening support for business owners as part of “legal consulting,” a key focus of Ehime Bank’s medium-term management plan. We will contribute to creating new value for Ehime Bank‘s customers as well as the entire region.
