A range review that ignores oem and odm programs will often produce a confident decision and a disappointing quarter on the Prime Mini.
Freight consolidation changes the answer to oem and odm programs at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.

ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
Retail staff rarely ask about oem and odm programs directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
