Product Design and Development
Your "Concept to Shipping" Service Provider
What do you want to make?Since 1993, ODI has been generating about a dozen new products each year for our OEM customers. ODI is a turnkey Design, Development and Manufacturing company located in the heart of California’s Silicon Valley. We take concepts and develop them into shipping products, usually in 6 months or less. How can we help you?
Why ODI?We are one of the lowest cost domestic design companies in the USA. This is a result of our innovative business model. Unlike other design companies, we align our goals with our customers’, which is to get the product shipping as soon as possible, at the lowest development and unit cost possible. OEMOur clients encompass large Fortune 100 companies, like Intel and National Semiconductor, and smaller technology companies, like Kensington and Adirondack Optics. |
What does it cost?Our business model is to charge low development cost and make our profit from shipping product sold to our customer and delivered anywhere in the world. You might think our unit cost is higher than a direct contract manufacturer might quote. In virtually all cases, ODI’s price to our customers is at or lower than most CMs. This is a result of our direct relationships with our chip makers. Typically, 80% of a product cost is in the major electronic components. Because of ODI’s long standing relationships with chip companies, ODI has established volume pricing, allowing us to compete with virtually any CM direct relationship. You save development out of pocket dollars. You save time to market, since ODI makes profit when you do: that is when the product ships. A win-win solution for all. And we take the complete logistics burden to deal with the CM, Freight, Broker Services, etc., allowing our customers to use us as their virtual Manufacturing/Logistics departments. This eliminates a great deal of internal overhead. ODI may also provide product financing, on approved credit, of course. |
