About Jiga
Jiga is a custom parts manufacturing and sourcing platform that connects hardware teams directly with a vetted global network of manufacturers. The platform centralizes quoting, communication, ordering, and tracking for CNC machining, sheet metal, 3D printing, and injection molding, eliminating broker middlemen while retaining quality oversight, certifications, and logistics support.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Single platform consolidates RFQs, communication, and tracking across multiple manufacturing processes
- Direct access to manufacturers reduces lead times and avoids broker markups
- Excellent customer support and dedicated account management consistently praised in reviews
- Strong compliance pedigree with AS9100, ISO 9001, ITAR, and NADCAP certified suppliers
- Faster quoting workflow saves significant time on procurement compared to manual sourcing
- Works alongside existing ERPs without forcing process changes
Cons
- Pricing can feel high for small businesses and individual hobbyists
- Supplier diversity in some niche processes could be broader
- Users report occasional interface glitches and bugs in payment/delivery flows
- Quote-based pricing means no upfront cost transparency until RFQs are submitted
