Simplicity and MANTIS Recon Win Irish Construction Excellence Award for Digital Innovation

Simplicity Group and MANTIS Recon are proud to announce their joint success at the prestigious Irish Construction Excellence (ICE) Awards, where they were recognised for excellence in Digital Innovation in Construction.
The award celebrates the impact of MANTIS Recon’s cutting-edge SaaS platform, developed by MANTIS and delivered to customers throughout Ireland by Simplicity Group. Together, the partnership is helping fleets in construction move from reactive risk management to a proactive, intelligence-led approach. It has been proven in reducing incidents, improving operational performance, and creating measurable insurance benefits.
The award was presented at the Convention Centre Dublin, with Justin Stronge, Marketing Manager at Simplicity Group, accepting the award on behalf of both organisations.
A Shared Vision for Safer Construction
Construction remains one of the most complex and high-risk industries in Ireland. Traditional fleet safety management often relies on paperwork, delayed reporting, and retrospective reviews. MANTIS Recon changes that model entirely.
The platform provides a connected digital ecosystem that captures critical risk data in real time, allowing businesses to identify emerging issues before they become costly incidents.
By combining MANTIS Recon’s vehicle CCTV with Simplicity’s expertise in risk management, insurance, and customer implementation, construction firms gain a practical pathway towards safer, smarter operations.
“Our success at the Irish Construction Excellence Awards reflects the strength of partnership between MANTIS, Simplicity and our customers. Working together helps us harness data, improve safety outcomes, and create a culture of proactive risk management that delivers real business value.”
Turning Data into Risk Intelligence
At its core, MANTIS Recon is a risk intelligence platform.
The system connects multiple sources of operational and safety information into a single view, providing decision-makers with actionable insights across projects, sites, contractors, and teams.
Key capabilities include:
- Real-time hazard identification and reporting
- Risk trend analysis
- Site inspection management
- Near-miss reporting
- Corrective action tracking
- Performance dashboards
- Workforce engagement tools
- Comprehensive risk visibility across projects
Rather than waiting for incidents to occur, organisations can identify patterns, predict potential risks, and intervene earlier.
This proactive approach enables businesses to move beyond compliance and build genuine risk resilience.
Technology Backed by Expert Guidance
Technology alone does not create successful outcomes.
A key differentiator in the Simplicity and MANTIS partnership is the support provided throughout the customer journey.
Every implementation is supported by dedicated account management professionals who work closely with clients to create a tailored roadmap for success.
From onboarding and configuration through to ongoing optimisation, Simplicity’s account management team helps organisations:
- Develop a strategic risk management game plan
- Identify priority risk areas
- Drive workforce engagement
- Maximise platform adoption
- Measure and demonstrate return on investment
- Continuously improve safety performance
This collaborative approach ensures customers achieve lasting value from the platform while embedding a proactive safety culture across their organisation.
Innovation That Delivers Results
Winning at the Irish Construction Excellence Awards is recognition of more than just technology. It reflects a shared commitment to helping the construction industry embrace smarter ways of managing risk.
The partnership between MANTIS Recon and Simplicity Group demonstrates how digital innovation, when combined with expert support and industry expertise, can create meaningful change for businesses, workers, and the wider construction sector.
As construction continues to evolve, organisations that embrace connected risk intelligence platforms will be best positioned to improve safety, enhance operational performance, and strengthen their insurance outcomes.
The future of construction risk management is proactive, connected, and data-driven. Thanks to the partnership between MANTIS Recon and Simplicity Group, that future is already being delivered across Ireland.
