OEM and ODM programs let a distributor turn Elite into a house brand rather than a commodity line.
Between the factory gate and the retail shelf, oem and odm programs is where most of the value on the Elite is either created or lost.
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.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Elite.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
