online content sector and, as markets have opened up, there is strong demand for that content within the land-based market. Quixant's cabinet strategy is helping with both the hardware and software integration tools to ensure that land based remains strong and successful.
While the cabinets and the new QMAX stole the limelight at the show, with their slick shiny orange designs, you also launched a suite of new software and integration support solutions – how did these go down with visitors?
Over the years the added value that Quixant has provided to its customers is its software support. For our customers, being to optimise their games and hardware is incredibly important, but it's also essential that they optimise their UI too.

Are we seeing the initial supply chain improvements we expected in 2023, and is this going to be an improving picture as we progress throughout the year?
We are definitely seeing improvements, but I would be cautious in saying that we are out of the woods. Some elements have certainly improved, but we are not back to normal. I think one of the key things we have learned over the last few years is
how to adapt to these situations, because the industry had not previously experienced the levels of disruption we encountered during the pandemic.
At Quixant, we have learned to adjust, which has put us on a better path when it comes to predicting, forecasting, and helping our clients. It is still a challenge to source some of the more complex components, which is going to continue through Q2 and Q3 before it gets better towards the end of this year. Tere is light at the end of the tunnel, and we are looking forward to that return to normal.
How much optimism and positivity should we take from the surging crowds at ICE? Is this a positive indicator for the year ahead?
Absolutely. As I said, demand has not fallen, which is the same sentiment we heard at G2E. When we speak to our customers and operators, they have felt the impact of the last two years, but the bounce back has been strong and positive.
Finally, are we still going to be experiencing disruption in 2023, and by that I don’t necessarily mean supply chain-related - if so, from what directions - and where does Quixant fit into the shifting landscape as a solutions provider?
Tere has definitely been a lot of disruption over the last two years, but at Quixant we have focused on how to adapt and grow. Tere has not been a significant amount of new product released to the market, which I believe is due to downwards market speculation. However, I think that since G2E there has been a lot of positive sentiment and activity in the market, which is still growing and becoming more consistent.
ICE saw new product innovations from our clients, and the launch by Quixant of the latest QMAX highlights our own focus on product development. We see the same with our turnkey solutions, with many of our customers wanting to focus on game creation, relying on Quixant to serve the market by providing a full turnkey cabinet solution for their content.
Online convergence requires a new business model and will be reliant on how technology can serve this sector to deliver their product to market. A lot of our customers are on that journey, searching for new technologies and trying to bring their own innovation to the market. Our focus is on how best we can support them, with next-generation technology.
