International Splash Awards
International recognition for digital ecosystems
Factorial received multiple awards at the 2025 Splash Awards – both internationally and nationally.
The International Splash Awards are considered the most prestigious awards in the global Drupal community. They recognise projects that combine design, technology and user experience in a unique way. In 2025, Factorial impressed the judges on multiple occasions with three projects that demonstrate technological excellence in practice.
A total of 51 projects were submitted to the Splash Awards International, of which the following three projects by Factorial received awards:
DAISIE – the digital operating system for TelefonSeelsorge® Deutschland e. V.
Category: Education & Social / Community (Winner) | Category: Non-Profit (Runner-Up)
A platform for around 8,000 employees and volunteers, connecting over 100 locations across Germany. The aim was to make counselling in crisis situations more efficient – through barrier-free access, secure data architecture and clear editorial processes.
Impact: Centralised control, complete data sovereignty, high scalability – for a digital operation that supports people in acute life situations.
DOLE – Scalable translation management for a global brand
Category: Corporate (Runner-Up) | Category: Design / UX (Runner-Up)
Für den internationalen Auftritt der Marke Dole wurde ein automatisiertes System für Übersetzungen und Content-Rollouts entwickelt. Die Lösung kombiniert DeepL mit einem individuell entwickelten Batch-Feature für hohe Geschwindigkeit und Qualität.
Ergebnis: 10.000+ Seiten in 7 Tagen übersetzt und veröffentlicht. Globale Konsistenz, kürzere Time-to-Market und spürbare Entlastung für das Redaktionsteam.
Occhio – Digital experience for brands, retailers and customers
Category: Commerce (Runner-Up)
The relaunch of the Occhio platform combines visibility, commerce and partner communication in a high-performance system.
+300% e-commerce sales since the relaunch
400+ partner stores accessible worldwide via interactive store finder
Centralised maintenance of all product data, variants, prices and assets
Technically stable during peak loads, internationally scalable and already localised (including China)
Excellent – also on a national level
In addition to international recognition, the DAISIE and DOLE relaunch projects also won first place at the Splash Awards Germany and Austria 2025 in the non-profit and enterprise categories. The Splash Awards Germany and Austria are the largest local Splash Awards brand in Europe and have been honouring the best digital projects in both countries since 2017.
‘These awards confirm our belief that digital systems are only effective when they combine technological depth with strategic relevance,’ says Volkan Jacobsen, founder and CEO of Factorial. ‘The projects show what digital excellence looks like in practice – user-centred, scalable and sustainable.’
