OEM and ODM programs let a distributor turn Autopod into a house brand rather than a commodity line.

Between the factory gate and the retail shelf, oem and odm programs is where most of the value on the Autopod is either created or lost.

Retail staff rarely ask about oem and odm programs directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.

ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.

Shops that receive a short briefing on oem and odm programs convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.

Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
