Why seasonal demand planning matters on the Zeal Mini
Order production slots well ahead of the peak to avoid factory congestion.

Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

| Pallet (1232 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
