Retail staff rarely ask about oem and odm programs directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Why oem and odm programs matters on the Autopod Max
ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
A written internal standard for oem and odm programs makes onboarding new account managers far quicker and reduces avoidable errors.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
