The Stark 2 has settled into a stable position in the range, which makes oem and odm programs the natural next question for distributors.
Where two suppliers look identical on price, oem and odm programs is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
Why oem and odm programs matters on the Stark 2
ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
Seasonality interacts with oem and odm programs more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
