OEM and ODM programs let a distributor turn Zeal 5 into a house brand rather than a commodity line.
The Zeal 5 has settled into a stable position in the range, which makes oem and odm programs the natural next question for distributors.
Seasonality interacts with oem and odm programs more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.

ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
Retail staff rarely ask about oem and odm programs directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
