Distributors reviewing their Gold 3 range usually find that oem and odm programs explains most of the variance in results between accounts.

In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Gold 3.

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

Where two suppliers look identical on price, oem and odm programs is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.

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