Procurement takes a whole team. Buyers, engineers, quality, finance, and every supplier you work with. Charging per seat punishes you for adding them. So we don't.
If only two people have logins, requests go back to email and spreadsheets. Then nobody can see what is on order.
No portal fees. No onboarding charges. Your suppliers keep working the way they already do, mostly over email.
Hire twenty people for a new production line. Your Silkline bill stays exactly the same.
Four things set your price. Nothing else. You can change each one on its own.
Plan, Source, Procure, Track, Monitor, and Comply. Turn on what solves today's problem. Add the rest as you grow.
Your ERP, MES, and PLM. Plus punchout catalogs, HRIS, CLM, and API access when you need them.
Approval policies, roles and permissions, single sign-on, and where your data lives and how it is handled.
Onboarding, how fast we respond, and whether you have a named person on our side.
These are common packages, not fixed products. Most customers start from one of these and adjust it. Every plan includes unlimited users and free supplier accounts.
For early teams who want purchasing organized before it gets messy. Live the same day.
Flat yearly fee. No integration work. No setup project.
For teams moving into real production. Your ERP is the system of record and the process has to repeat.
Fee based on the systems you connect and how deep the workflows go. Integration is included.
For companies running several sites or entities, and programs that answer to auditors.
Custom agreement based on your sites, entities, connected systems, and where it runs.
Grouped by the four things that set your price.
A twelve person satellite startup and a multi-site prime are not buying the same product. A short call helps us scope the platform to your needs.
Neither. There is no seat charge on any Silkline contract, on any plan, at any point. The platform fee is the price.
No. Suppliers are never charged and never have to buy a license or join a network. They reply to RFQs and POs the way they already do, usually by email.
Adding people, POs, suppliers, or spend changes nothing. The price only changes if you turn on a new capability, connect another system, or add a site or entity.
No. The connections in your plan are set up and maintained as part of your subscription. There is no separate setup contract, middleware, or third-party consultants.
Launch is same day. Scale is usually live in a few weeks, with the ERP connection running alongside instead of holding things up. Apex depends on your number of connections and customization, but typically is 2-3 months.
Yes, and most customers do. The four things move on their own. You can add an ERP connection without buying the whole Scale capability set. Most integrations have a one-year minimum term.
Silkline is exclusively hosted in AWS GovCloud (US) with personnel and access controls built for ITAR work. Silkline maintains SOC 2-aligned controls on every plan, and our security team supports your reviews.
