When ODM companies undertake any product engineering project, the project goes through a series of steps. This articles lists down the processes involved in each and every step.
Today’s ever-changing and competitive market expects latest features and functions in the products with short time to market. Product lifecycles have shrunk significantly and market window of opportunity is also limited. Many companies are not able to cope up with this demand for new technology products with in-house R & D team. This results in longer R & D queue for new products to be launched.
For such companies, outsourced product engineering services from a competent ODM vendor results in faster time-to-market opportunities and significant cost savings
