Mahoroba Kobo and PHONE APPLI have entered a strategic partnership aimed at overhauling how companies handle phone communications. The two firms announced the deal on June 17, 2026, citing the need to address hybrid-work complexity, rising customer harassment, and productivity demands. The core of the collaboration is the integration of Mahoroba Kobo's MAHO-PBX cloud PBX with PHONE APPLI's communication portal PHONE APPLI PEOPLE.
The companies laid out a three-phase roadmap. Phase one, already verified, enables one-tap outbound calling from the portal through MAHO-PBX. Phase two, under development, will display caller names on incoming calls using registered data and store all call logs in the cloud to reduce knowledge silos. Phase three, still in planning, will introduce features specifically designed to counter customer harassment, aiming to lower the psychological burden on employees.
