Shortage and Demand Agent

Production stoppages will completely stall your business and damage your reputation. With AI agents for manufacturing, you get 24/7 monitoring of inventory movements. With access to Sutton, AI can check orders, see inventory levels, and analyze BOMs to see if you have what you need on hand to meet demand.

AI Procurement Agent

An AI procurement agent reviews stock, suppliers, and POs to suggest what to reorder and who to contact. You can use an AI procurement agent for reorder management, contract handling, or PO submission, all based on your Sutton data.

Chat with your AI to see if anything needs to be reordered
Get suggestions and recommendations on the best suppliers to contact
Create POs in chat, or hand the task to AI and let it work autonomously

Human-in-the-Loop Approval

If you’re unsure whether you trust AI to operate autonomously, you can enable human approval so every PO needs admin approval. You can take a semi-autonomous approach with your inventory agent so it can place smaller orders automatically, while getting approval for larger orders.

Set threshold limits on what AI can purchase without human approval
Decide if rejections require a reason for later review
Assign different statuses to POs, such as pending approval when edits are needed
Review which operators approved or rejected POs and when they did it

Production Status Agent

Chat with your AI agent for manufacturing to understand the status of each job, so you know whether production has started or if there are any bottlenecks. You can ask AI to compare outputs by period, workstation, or operation to see whether performance meets expectations.

Check your raw material, component, and subassembly levels
Get detailed but easy-to-read reports to check if output is on target

How does inventory management software help reduce costs?
+

An inventory management system helps companies save money by making operations faster, smarter, and more accurate. Instead of guessing what to order or spending hours updating spreadsheets, inventory tracking software uses real-time data to show exactly what’s in stock, what’s selling, and what needs to be reordered.

It reduces waste by keeping stock levels balanced, not too much that you’re stuck paying for storage, and not too little that you lose sales. It can automatically reorder items when they’re running low, preventing both overstocking and stockouts. Over time, this cuts carrying costs and keeps your warehouse from filling up with unsold or expired products.

The software also saves labor costs. Tasks that used to take hours, like counting stock or entering purchase orders, happen automatically. Employees spend less time fixing errors or tracking down missing items, and more time on work that actually grows the business.

Better visibility means better decisions because everything updates as soon as something happens, managers can see how much money is tied up in inventory and use that data to make more informed choices when it comes to purchasing, negotiating supplier discounts, or adjusting pricing.

Inventory management software helps businesses run leaner. It lowers the cost of holding inventory, reduces mistakes, improves cash flow, and keeps the right products on the shelf, all without the chaos of manual tracking or guesswork.

How does inventory management software work?
+

Inventory management software helps you keep track of what you have in stock currently, what items are in transit, and what’s being used in production. The main point of these tools is to replace messy spreadsheets and guesswork with systems and processes that update information in real time. 

In the case of Sutton, here’s just a small sample of features to explain how Sutton works: 

1. End-to-End Real-Time Inventory

See every product, part, and pallet inventory level update the moment something moves. Sutton keeps your stock counts accurate across all locations, so you always know what’s available and what’s not. 

2. Traceability

Use barcode scanning to see where something came from, when it was made or bought, its worth, and where it’s stored. With Sutton, you can track serial numbers, batches, and expiration dates for full visibility from purchasing to shipping out a final product to a customer.

3. Inventory Accuracy 

Sutton handles complex storage with ease. Whether you’re stacking boxes on pallets or storing items in bins, Sutton tracks everything, so you always know what’s been used and what’s left in inventory.

4. Centralized Business Management 

Sutton’s item creator adjusts to your needs. Set up products you buy, make, or sell, or all three. Manage multi-level BOMs and routing. Handle multiple units of measure, quantity breaks, and item variants without extra effort. 

5. Multi-Location Control

Easily run and manage multiple warehouses, production floors, or selling points in one system by syncing your inventory data across every location in real time, so you can transfer stock, trace lots, and monitor performance from anywhere with an internet connection.

6. Inventory Planning and Cost Control

Set minimum stock levels and reorder points for each item. Sutton tracks real-time inventory value, helps you stick to FIFO or LIFO methods, and makes end-of-month reporting quick and easy. 

How much does inventory management software cost?
+

Inventory management software comes in all different shapes and sizes, so prices can vary widely, from free tools for simple tracking, to large enterprise systems that can run into the cost range of five digits. 

‍

Most small and mid-sized businesses can expect to pay between $50 and $500 per month for a cloud-based system that includes at least the standard inventory management features needed. But here is a small breakdown based on business size and the amount of features or inventory that they manage: 

‍

  • Small businesses: Usually spend between $50 and $200 per month for basic plans that offer real-time tracking and simple reports. Some starter tools cost less than $50.
  • Mid-sized businesses: Often pay between $200 and $700 per month for software that includes more advanced features such as barcode scanning, multi-location tracking, and integrations with accounting or online sales platforms.
  • Large enterprises: Larger companies with complex operations may need custom or ERP-connected systems that cost from $1,000 to over $10,000 per month. These plans may also include one-time setup and training fees.
What's the difference between inventory management and warehouse management software?
+

Inventory management software and warehouse management software are closely related, but they serve different purposes.

‍

Inventory control software focuses on the big picture. It helps you see what products you have, how much of each you have, and when it’s time to order more. It’s great for keeping track of stock levels across one or more locations, so you always know what’s available.

‍

Warehouse management software, on the other hand, is all about what happens inside the warehouse. It tracks exactly where each item is stored (down to the aisle, shelf, or bin) and helps workers pick, pack, and ship orders more efficiently. 

‍

In simple terms:

  • Inventory management shows you how much you have and when to restock.
  • Warehouse management shows you where everything is and how it moves.

‍

The two systems often work together. The inventory management system keeps your stock data up to date, while the warehouse management system handles the day-to-day warehouse operations. When used together, they give you both a broad overview of your inventory and detailed control inside each warehouse.

‍

Sutton brings both systems together in one easy-to-use platform. It shows you what’s in stock and exactly where each item is in real time.

‍

For inventory management, you can see your stock levels, track every batch or serial number, and know the exact value of what’s on hand. The system updates automatically when items are bought, made, or sold, so your data stays accurate without extra work.

‍

For warehouse management, you can manage everything happening inside your warehouse. Workers can scan, move, pick, and pack items in seconds without using clipboards or spreadsheets. Every update happens instantly, giving you live information you can trust.

‍

Together, these tools give you complete control. You’ll always know what you have, where it is, and how it’s moving, all in one connected system.
