Distributors reviewing their Elite 3 range usually find that oem and odm programs explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
Seasonality interacts with oem and odm programs more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Why oem and odm programs matters on the Elite 3
ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
Keeping a short internal note on oem and odm programs for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Elite 3.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
