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.
Charging per seat slows everyone down.
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.
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.
Three starting points
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.
For teams moving into real production. Your ERP is the system of record and the process has to repeat.
For companies running several sites or entities, and programs that answer to auditors.
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, on any plan, 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?
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.
Can we move up later?
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.
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 plan, and our security team supports your reviews.
