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 Box Lite economics actually settle.

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