# Silkline > Silkline is the system of action for procurement and supply chain execution in advanced manufacturing. Hundreds of advanced manufacturers use Silkline to source, procure, track, and deliver — turning supplier data and purchasing workflows into coordinated action that speeds time to revenue. Where ERP, MES, and PLM systems are systems of record, Silkline is the system of action: the execution layer that drives the day-to-day procurement and supply chain work happening before, between, and around those systems. It replaces spreadsheets and email chasing with structured workflows, live PO and supplier data, supplier collaboration, and real-time visibility — so decisions are coordinated, reviewed, and aligned before they ever hit the ERP. Silkline lets manufacturers intake and manage purchase requests, issue and track RFQs, compare supplier quotes, route approvals, track purchase orders and milestones, collaborate with suppliers, and monitor team and vendor performance and compliance. It integrates with ERP, MES, and PLM systems without requiring suppliers to adopt new tools. The company serves advanced manufacturing sectors including aerospace, defense, space, robotics, and energy. Silkline is headquartered in Seattle, WA, raised a $4M seed round, and is recognized in G2 reports for procurement orchestration and supplier relationship management. ## Core pages - [Home](https://www.silkline.ai/): Supply chain orchestration for advanced manufacturing. -
