A practical, verifiable buyer checklist

What is the difference between OEM and ODM?
| Route | Short answer | Clarify before you inquire |
|---|---|---|
| OEM | Manufacturing discussion for your brand requirements. | Branding, packaging, target market, configuration and project timeline. |
| ODM | Product development and customization discussion based on a buyer’s market needs. | Category gap, differentiation needs, buyer channel and target-market requirements. |
What should a buyer confirm before selecting a manufacturer?
| Question to ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Which buyer channel and target market is this for? | It guides the product, documentation and configuration discussion. |
| Which motor route is appropriate: BLDC, AC and DC? | These are different motor architectures. Suitability must be checked against the actual model, use case and market requirements. |
| What should the sample confirm? | Agree the approved sample and any market-specific requirements before moving forward. |
| Which quality checkpoints are relevant? | Confirm the applicable inspection and testing discussion for the model and project. |
| Which certifications are needed? | Requirements depend on the selected model and destination market and should be reviewed before selection. |

FAQ
Questions before you inquire
Should a buyer select a hair dryer only by motor type?
No. BLDC, AC and DC describe different motor architectures, but the suitable route depends on the selected model, buyer channel, intended use and destination-market requirements.
When should certification requirements be checked?
At the beginning of the model and market discussion. Requirements must be confirmed for the specific product and target market, not assumed from a category or another model.
What happens after submitting an RFQ?
CONFU reviews the product scope, market and project details, then the relevant model-specific discussion can begin.
