Most litter box programs are ODM with customization; a few justify true OEM development. This page is the decision sheet, with the costs named on both routes.
Factories in this category sell two different things: an existing platform they modify (the ODM route) or a development from your design (OEM). The routes differ in time, tooling cost, exclusivity and risk, and the honest choice follows volume and differentiation, not ambition.
| Route | What it is | Time character | Cost character |
|---|---|---|---|
| ODM platform + customization | Factory platform with your colors, trims, packaging, app scope | Weeks to first sample | Low tooling; customization minimums |
| Partial OEM | Platform chassis with your shell or mechanism variant | A development cycle on one assembly | Moderate tooling on the changed parts |
| Full OEM | Your design, new molds, new platform | Longest; multiple sample rounds | Mold and development investment up front |
Whichever route is chosen, the RFQ structure in the RFQ guide and the vetting in the vetting questionnaire are the same; the route only changes what the quotation itemizes.
