The Zone24x7 team
CEO Neschae Fernando
Zone24x7 concluded 2025 with significant industry recognition, securing seven awards across three leading technology competitions—marking one of the strongest years in the company’s 22-year journey. The awards recognised the Industrial Vending Machine solution developed for a client in Australia. It earned both national and regional honours, including Second Runner-up at the Asia Pacific ICT Alliance (APICTA) Awards 2025.
More than accolades, the recognition showcases Zone24x7’s ability to deliver practical, enterprise-ready solutions that create measurable business impact. Competing against leading technology companies across the Asia Pacific region, the wins highlight the company’s growing global footprint and its focus on translating innovation into operational value for customers.
Zone24x7’s award run began at the SLASSCOM National Ingenuity Awards 2025, where the company secured National Winner for Best Innovative Product in Manufacturing, National First Runner-up for Best Innovative Product (General), and two Provincial Winner titles in the Western Province. This success continued at the National ICT Awards (NBQSA 2025), with Gold in Manufacturing, Engineering and Construction, and the Internet of Things (IoT) Technology of the Year Award.
Zone24x7 CEO Neschae Fernando said: “2025 validated our approach of building technology around real business needs. As we move into 2026, our focus is on helping enterprises improve productivity, visibility, and decision-making by applying Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, and connected systems in ways that go far beyond standalone tools or chat-based solutions.”

Zone24x7 General Manager Vipula Liyanaarachchi said: “The value we bring lies in how we combine hardware, software, and AI into cohesive solutions that fit seamlessly into existing enterprise environments. As organisations look ahead to 2026, we are focused on helping them scale efficiently, modernise operations, and unlock greater value from their data without disruption.” The award-winning Industrial Vending Machine reflects this approach, integrating IoT hardware, intelligent software, and analytics to automate inventory control and enhance efficiency in manufacturing and industrial settings. Rather than being a standalone product, it demonstrates how Zone24x7 partners with clients to design solutions aligned to specific operational goals.
