# Silkline Integration

Every manufacturing process starts with receiving inventory. But that inventory's journey starts long before it arrives at the factory. Silkline augments ION's native purchasing functionality to bring best-in-class supply chain management capabilities to ION's customers, helping advanced hardware manufacturers save money, move faster, and reduce risk.

For more information, see [Silkline's documentation of the integration](https://silkline.gitbook.io/docs/configuration/integrations/first-resonance-ion) and reach out to your First Resonance representative.
