Welcome to The Cannata Report’s Watchlist issue, our final issue of 2022 and our first issue of 2023. Despite supply chain issues, chip shortages, economic concerns, and the persistence of COVID-19, it wasn’t such a bad year after all for the document imaging industry and the independent dealer channel. It wasn’t great, but perhaps 2023 will hold that distinction.
The good news is that we’re all older and wiser than last year. Based on the last three years, most of us should be ready for anything. Dealing with a pandemic, we got it. Potential recession, we got it. Ongoing supply chain problems, we got it. You name it, we got it.
The team here at The Cannata Report is pumped for 2023. After our successful 37th Annual Awards & Charities Gala (read all about it in this issue), we have even more ambitious plans for our Gala in 2023. Our 2023 Editorial Calendar is packed with highly relevant topics for dealers, and our writers are on a mission to include more dealers’ perspectives in our articles. Expect more guests on our Fridays with Frank videos and more appearances from CJ in those videos.
Many of you have big plans for your dealerships in 2023. If you are willing to share, we’d love to hear about them. And if you’ve never been featured in our CR-Connect Dealer Tour profiles, we’d love to explore that possibility with you for 2023. Email me at scullen@cannatareport.com.
Happy New Year! Here’s hoping 2023 will be your best year ever!
