Pay for what it does.
Not for who logs in.
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.
What you pay for instead
Four things set your price. Nothing else. You can change each one on its own.
Run the work
Plan, Source, Procure, Track, Monitor, and Comply. Turn on what solves today's problem. Add the rest as you grow.
Connect your stack
Your ERP, MES, and PLM. Plus punchout catalogs, HRIS, CLM, and API access when you need them.
Set the rules
Approval policies, roles and permissions, single sign-on, and where your data lives and how it is handled.
Choose your support
Onboarding, how fast we respond, and whether you have a named person on our side.
What this looks like in practice
Five setups we see often. Pick the one closest to you to see how it looks. Yours will not match exactly, and it does not have to.
Pick the work you want to run
Six modules. Turn on the ones that solve today's problem and add the rest when you need them.
Turn BOMs into buy plans and clear-to-build dates.
Send RFQs, share part files safely, and compare quotes.
Create POs, route approvals, and buy through punchout catalogs.
Confirm POs, work open orders, and watch ETAs.
Score supplier performance and see where to act.
Approved supplier lists, pedigrees, quality clauses, and denied party screening.
Connect the systems you already run
Email, the data console, and spreadsheet import and export work on day one. Add the connectors you need, plus custom connectors and API access as add-ons.
Set the rules your process needs
Three levels. Start with who can do what, add your approval process, and go further when the contract dictates how data is handled.
Decide who can see what and who can do what.
Put your approval process into the system so it runs the same way every time.
For programs where how the data is handled is part of the contract.
Choose how much help you want
Three packages. Fly it yourself, bring someone into the cockpit, or have a named team watching the whole mission.
Set it up yourself and get moving the same day.
We sit with you through rollout and stay close afterward.
A named team, agreed response times, and a safe place to test changes.
Things we don't charge for.
How this works
Why don't you list a price?
A 12-person satellite startup and a multi-site prime need different things from Silkline. A short call helps us tailor the platform to your operation so you get the capabilities you need without paying for the ones you don’t.
Is $0 per seat a trial or an intro rate?
Neither. There is no seat charge on any Silkline contract, at any point. The platform fee is the price.
Do our suppliers have to buy anything?
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.
What if we grow mid-contract?
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.
Do I need to pay a third-party integrator?
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.
How long does setup take?
A basic setup can be live the same day. Adding an ERP connection usually takes a few weeks, and it runs alongside your work instead of holding things up. A full build across several systems and sites is typically two to three months.
Can we change things later?
Yes, and most customers do. The four things move on their own. You can add an ERP connection without turning on more modules. Most integrations have a one-year minimum term.
What about ITAR programs?
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 contract, and our security team supports your reviews.
