We Did It! Innovation & Technology Award Winner at ROCCO 2025

We’re absolutely delighted to announce that The Solutions on Demand Group has won the Innovation & Technology Award at the 2025 ROCCO Business Awards.

To stand alongside organisations like Rolls‑Royce and Terumo Aortic was a huge achievement in itself — but to come away with the trophy is genuinely special.

This award recognises GIRFEC Connect, our AI‑enabled digital reporting platform built in line with Scotland’s national frameworks — GIRFEC (“Getting It Right For Every Child”) and SHANARRI. Developed by the Creo Design team, this platform was shaped in collaboration with professionals in residential care, education, and frontline services. Their insights and lived‑experience helped us build something that truly tackles the sector’s biggest challenges: fragmented reporting, heavy admin burdens, and lack of clear wellbeing visibility.

GIRFEC Connect is proof of what happens when technology, purpose, and people come together around a shared goal: improving outcomes for children and young people through responsible, impactful innovation.

Our thanks go to everyone across the SOD Group who contributed — and to our academic partners at University of Strathclyde and Innovate UK KTP Centre for their landmark support and collaboration. A special mention to Johnny Mone from the University of the West of Scotland for presenting the award on the night.

We were also finalists in two further categories: Outstanding Performing Business (>5 <25 employees) and Community Wealth Building — a reflection of our values, ambition, and collective hard work.

Thank you to Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce for a memorable evening at Ingliston Estate & Country Club. This recognition reinforces what we already know: innovation isn’t about size — it’s about impact. And for us, this is only the beginning.
