MangoApps Wins Gold Stevie® Award in 2025 International Business Awards® for Collaboration/Social Networking Solution

Winners to Be Celebrated During Event in Lisbon on 10 October

ISSAQUAH, WA – August 13, 2025 — MangoApps has been named the Gold Stevie® Award winner in the Collaboration/Social Networking Solution category of The 22nd Annual International Business Awards® (IBAs). The recognition reflects the platform's measurable impact on employee engagement, intranet adoption, and frontline communication for organizations across industries.

The IBAs are the world's premier business awards program. The 2025 competition received nominations from organizations in 78 nations and territories, with more than 3,800 entries across categories. Winners were determined by the average scores of more than 250 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process from May through July.

What MangoApps Was Recognized For

MangoApps was honored for its employee experience platform, which functions as a modern intranet and unified hub for employee communications, collaboration, and engagement. The platform is built to address a persistent gap in how organizations reach their workforce: according to Emergence Capital, 80% of the global workforce is deskless, yet most enterprise software is designed for desk-based employees.

The intranet adoption problem is equally well-documented. Per Social Edge Consulting, 91% of organizations operate an intranet — but nearly a third of employees never log in, and only 13% use one daily. SWOOP Analytics found the average employee spends just six minutes per day in intranet tools, while IDC estimates employees lose 2.5 hours per day searching for information they cannot easily find. MangoApps was built to close that gap.

Judges praised MangoApps for its "clear focus on solving both digital overload and digital exclusion" and for delivering "a modern, intuitive platform that demonstrates measurable improvements in productivity and employee engagement."

Customer Outcomes That Substantiate the Award

The recognition is grounded in documented customer results. Named customers across healthcare, retail, manufacturing, finance, and education have achieved employee engagement rates of 80–90% using the platform:

• OU Health reached 87% workforce engagement within a few months of launching their branded app on MangoApps.
• PetSmart achieved 4x the industry-standard engagement rate using MangoApps' branded employee app.
• TeamHealth consolidated more than 200 systems into a single mobile dashboard, directly quantifying the platform's ability to reduce app sprawl.
• AutoZone, Nicklaus Children's Hospital, Caliber Collision, and YMCA of the USA are among the enterprises that have used the platform to close communication gaps for hard-to-reach frontline staff.

Those outcomes matter beyond recognition. Frontline employee replacement costs range from $4,400 to $15,000 per worker, according to industry data cited in MangoApps' own product research — making disconnected communication a quantifiable retention risk, not just an operational inconvenience.

Why the Platform Is Built the Way It Is

MangoApps connects desk-based and frontline employees in a single, mobile-friendly workspace. Core capabilities include real-time chat, file sharing, project management, task tracking, knowledge libraries, and AI-powered assistance. The AI layer is designed for enterprise governance: the platform supports multiple AI engines — including OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, and Azure OpenAI — so organizations can apply consistent governance policies across AI interactions rather than relying on a single vendor's model.

The platform also meets enterprise security requirements, supporting SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, and single sign-on (SSO) — credentials that matter when IT and security teams evaluate employee engagement software at scale.

"This Gold Stevie is a testament to our team's relentless commitment to making the digital workplace truly work for everyone," said Anup Kejriwal, CEO of MangoApps. "Our platform is designed to connect people, knowledge, and tools in one place, and this recognition validates the impact we're having for organizations worldwide. I'm incredibly proud of our team and grateful to our customers who inspire us to keep raising the bar."

This win follows MangoApps' recognition as a finalist in the Platforms & Tech category of the Ragan Zenith Awards.

What This Means for Organizations Evaluating Intranet Platforms

For HR, IT, and communications leaders currently assessing employee engagement software or replacing a legacy intranet, the Stevie Award provides third-party validation of platform quality — but the customer metrics above are the more actionable signal.

Organizations that have struggled with low intranet adoption, fragmented tools, or frontline employees who are difficult to reach consistently report three outcomes after deploying MangoApps:

1. Higher daily active usage compared to traditional intranet tools, driven by a mobile-first design that meets frontline workers where they already are.
2. Reduced time spent searching for information, addressing the 2.5-hour daily loss IDC attributes to poor information access.
3. Consolidated toolsets, replacing multiple point solutions with a single platform — as TeamHealth's 200-system consolidation illustrates.

For organizations in regulated or complex industries, the MangoApps employee directory and workforce management features also support compliance and operational visibility at scale.
