Navigate Complex Mechanical Markets with Confidence
Sourcing mechanical components is getting harder. Trade policies keep changing, materials are in short supply, and regional disruptions can throw off production without notice. Procurement teams are under increasing pressure to control costs and keep supply moving as capacity tightens and prices fluctuate. In this environment, general market data often falls short. What teams really need is timely, practitioner-led intelligence tailored to the real challenges of mechanical commodities procurement.
Jabil’s Mechanical Intelligence equips teams with the actionable insights needed to confidently source critical components, mitigate risks, and navigate the mechanicals market with resilience. Backed by $8 billion in annual direct material spend across ~6,000 mechanical suppliers, our platform helps sourcing professionals maintain continuity, control costs, and stay ahead of disruption. Available in English and Simplified Chinese.
