We won Mobile Tech of the Year at the UK Business Tech Awards

Digital Wonderlab was named Mobile Tech of the Year at the 2025 UK Business Tech Awards for an offline-first application built for a global industrial energy technology company.

The challenge

Engineers were capturing complex survey data on paper, often in environments with little or no connectivity. The new application had to handle large amounts of structured information and images, work reliably offline and move the data back into the wider business once a connection became available.

What we built

• Offline-first mobile operation for challenging industrial environments.
• Structured capture of hundreds of data points and images.
• Reliable batch synchronisation when connectivity returns.
• A guided user experience designed around the engineers doing the work.

What changed

The application reduced survey turnaround from days to hours, giving teams access to accurate data sooner and helping speed up the decisions that follow the survey.

The award judges highlighted the offline-first architecture and the reliability it creates where connectivity cannot be assumed.
