The Zen 3 has settled into a stable position in the range, which makes authenticity checks the natural next question for distributors.
Shops that receive a short briefing on authenticity checks convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.
Why authenticity checks matters on the Zen 3
A scratch code or QR verification on every unit is now the minimum expectation.
Consistency across batches matters more than peak performance for Zen 3, and authenticity checks is where inconsistency first appears.
Batch numbers should match between inner tray, carton and invoice.

Commercial terms
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (188 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (974 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (16270 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
