Freight consolidation changes the answer to oem and odm programs at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.

Why oem and odm programs matters on the Meta

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

Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind oem and odm programs: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.

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