Solertiae

What Solertiae does

Solertiae is a Knoxville, Tennessee-based systems integration and technology consulting firm that serves mission-driven organizations, including nonprofits, churches, and missions agencies. The company provides a portfolio of interconnected products built primarily on best-of-breed third-party platforms — Salesforce, Microsoft 365, TouchPoint, Duda, and Virtuous — rather than developing its own core technology from scratch. Its flagship offering, Mission Essentials, is a declarative-only Salesforce package that handles mobilization pipeline management, workforce tracking, and donation processing without requiring custom Apex code. Supporting products include Site Essentials (a Duda-powered ministry website CMS with TouchPoint/Salesforce integration), Partner Essentials (a Ministry Partner Development platform transitioning to the Epistle-powered Partner Essentials 3.0), and a suite of managed IT and security services spanning SaaS backup, device backup, SentinelOne EDR, MissionPipe zero-trust VPN alternative, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing.

The company generates revenue through tiered annual subscriptions — Mission Essentials at $6,000–$18,000+/year based on organization size, Site Essentials at $1,200–$3,000/year — supplemented by one-time implementation fees typically 2–3x the annual subscription, setup fees of $2,500–$10,500 for websites, and recurring managed services at $8–$10/month per user/device. Solertiae employs a consultative sales-led go-to-market with dedicated account management for enterprise customers and self-serve options for smaller organizations, distributing through direct sales, partner networks (Salesforce, Microsoft, TouchPoint, Duda, Virtuous), and community-led channels such as case studies and partner spotlights. The company originated as the internal IT department of TEAM (The Evangelical Alliance Mission), spun out in 2020, and was acquired in July 2026 by prpl pineapple, a professional services agency specializing in organizational development, digital transformation, content, and brand strategy.
