One of the hotly contested Stock in the Channel’s Stockies categories is Scanner of the Year.
Stockies nominations and winners are determined by data gathered from the Stock in the Channel platform. This ensures that the vendors and distributors who truly excel in their respective fields are the ones who receive recognition.
One of the key highlights of the Stockies Awards is its inclusive nature. Unlike traditional award shows, there are no judges, no entry forms or nomination processes required. All vendors and distributors listed on Stock in the Channel are automatically entered, and thus the 6 models shortlisted for Scanner of the Year 2026 are the ones the channel actively seeks and purchases.
