Hello everyone. I’m Dan, editor of News in the Channel and Print in the Channel , the magazines that provide news, insight and advice to thousands of readers in the reseller and print reseller channels in every issue.

Congratulations to all those that have been nominated in the Stockies – and especially to those that have won. To have an awards show based on data rather than subjective opinion marks these out from the crowd and gives a true reflection on which companies and products are performing the best in this dynamic sector. As the breadth of these awards shows, the channel continues to thrive, with many businesses within it taking advantage of the wealth of new opportunities that have emerged in the market in the past couple of years, such as with offering AI-based technology and services.

As the development of AI shows, the way we work continues to evolve and so does the role of resellers, distributors and manufacturers as they must embrace change to suit the demands of customers. As always, maintaining close relationships with customers and acting as trusted advisors are crucial to success. As we head towards a time that could see the biggest changes in work in 30 years thanks to AI, it is an exciting time for the sector and those in it. Knowing the adaptability and resilience of those in the sector, I am confident these changes will be embraced. I hope you enjoy the show and have a safe journey home afterwards.

Dan Parton

A hearty hello and welcome to Stockies 2025. I’m Trish, interim editor of UC Advanced , the magazine that takes a fresh look at the Unified Communications industry from the perspective of MSPs, Distributors and Resellers.

Congratulations to those winners that have been cited this week and those that are to be announced tonight. It is only fair that I start with those vendors, distributors, resellers, products and people who were nominated earlier this year. It is such an achievement just to be nominated, because the results are data-driven, there are no entry fees or judges, and so well done to everyone who was nominated, and to those who subsequently made the shortlists – an incredible achievement. A big congratulations to the winners from the Technology & Storage Show, the Printing, Peripherals & Accessories Show, and the winners from the AV &UCC Show. I hope your Stockies trophies take pride of place

in showcases and display cabinets, because they are well deserved. The Audio Visual and Unified Communications and Collaborative sector can be summed up in three words for 2025: “Intuitive, Intelligent, Innovation”. There is not a week that has gone by without a device, platform or user interface announcing it has included AI, it has improved compatibility with other devices, its speed or storage capacity has increased, and it is an overall faster, more efficient and cost- effective version of its predecessors. Innovation drives growth in the AV and UC&C sectors, and we love being on the journey. Enjoy the Speciality awards showcase and I hope you have a fabulous Stockies night!

Metrics Explained

Decision-making can be overwhelming, even with enough data to map our course. We need the proper tools to make decisions, backed by business intelligence. At Stock in the Channel , our dedicated analysts have cultivated a sophisticated suite of metrics, refining them over the years to provide unparalleled insights for strategic decision-making in the channel.

VENDOR METRICS

Our BI engine sifts through billions of data points, ranging from stock levels and search data, to pricing levels and implied sales. The resulting metrics cover a wide spectrum of categories, offering a panoramic view of the entire channel. Whether it’s laptops, data storage, or printing equipment, our metrics provide a comprehensive understanding of the market landscape at a glance. We independently observe the rises and falls of products in the channel, gleaning insights of wider market trends, competitive dynamics, and consumer preferences. The efficacy of our metrics was showcased in the selection process for the prestigious 2025 Awards . These metrics not only nominated but also standardised the picking of winners in the first-ever awards show of its kind. For instance, when evaluating a brand, the trendsetter rating was carefully balanced against price stability, simplifying the

selection of the top brands per category in the channel. Distributors were monitored using their sales-to-search ratio, which quantifies how well they move trending products that are out of stock in wider distribution, thus besting their competition. The data we analyse are thus aggregated into top- level insight on the channel, also taking into account market share and how much coverage a distribution channel has. For individual products, champions were identified using the novel S4-metric, measuring the time between a product being seen on Stock in the Channel , right down the funnel along their first day stocked, searched and sold. Explore the comprehensive list of metrics that fuelled the success of the Stockies Awards by visiting https://stockies.co.uk/metrics. Empower your business with insights that pave the way for success in a rapidly evolving market.
