About

After almost a decade in Quote-to-Cash, SilkQuote was built to serve the needs of Admins, Reps, and Prospects alike: something both standalone and compatible with other tools, designed for small businesses and enterprise teams across technology and business process.
In the beginning, SilkQuote was a hyperfunctional PDF quote generator. But generating the document doesn't complete the entire quoting journey.
After a year of development and testing, SilkQuote became a full quoting system: an intuitive platform that any admin can manage, reps actually use, and that delivers the customer experience your prospects deserve.
