Spovisor Launches 'Ou-bo', a Specialized Cloud-Based Grant Management System Starting at 5,800 JPY/Month

Spovisor (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa; CEO: Tomohiko Ikeda) has officially launched 'Ou-bo', a cloud-based grant management system designed for foundations, local governments, and corporations managing grant programs.

Ou-bo is a purpose-built cloud service that integrates the entire grant lifecycle—from recruitment, screening, and selection, to post-grant management—into a single platform. Organizations can start using it within one business day, with no initial setup costs and monthly fees starting at 5,800 JPY (excl. tax).

To commemorate the release, Spovisor is offering a 'Lifetime Free' campaign for the Standard Plan (usually 35,000 JPY/month, excl. tax) to the first three organizations that apply by June 30, 2026. Free onboarding support is also provided to organizations concerned about the system transition.

Background: There are thousands of grant-making organizations in Japan, many of which struggle with operations relying on Excel and email, leading to silos and inefficiency. Conventional grant management systems are often too costly or complex to deploy, creating significant barriers for small-scale organizations.

Key Features of Ou-bo: 1. End-to-End Management: Consolidates the entire workflow, including recruiting, reporting, and messaging, into a single browser-based interface. 2. Expert Design: Developed with over a decade of domain knowledge to handle specialized tasks like multi-stage selection and conflict-of-interest checks. 3. Accessible Pricing: Monthly plans start at 5,800 JPY (excl. tax). 4. Free Onboarding: Expert support to assist with form building and workflow design is included for all plans.
