When does an OEM white-label app beat a single branded companion?

Direct answer

An OEM white-label app fits when distributors need their own logo, SSO, or tenant rules and you can enforce one GATT contract across SKUs. A single branded companion app wins when UX depth and cross-product discovery matter more. In either model, isolate tenant data early and plan app store listings. For example, one gateway SKU may need separate dealer branding without changing firmware.
