Why oem and odm programs matters on the Box 5
ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Box 5 economics actually settle.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
