Buyers who treat oem and odm programs as a commercial discipline rather than an afterthought tend to hold margin for longer.
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 Starre 3
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 Starre 3 economics actually settle.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
