Apparel manufacturing software from fabric to finished garment.
With Sutton, you can keep track of your apparel production, inventory, and materials all in one place. Everything stays organized and easy to follow from the first cut to the final shipment.
When every style comes in many sizes, spreadsheets break
Apparel makers manage fabric by the roll and yard, trims by the piece and finished goods by style, color and size, often across several workshops and seasonal collections.
Variants multiply stock errors
Every style splits into colors and sizes, and tracking each variant by hand leads to oversold sizes and dead stock.
Fabric shortages stop the cutting room
When fabric rolls and trims are not counted accurately, cutting starts late and finished orders miss their ship dates.
Production status is a guess
Without live updates from cutting, sewing and finishing, nobody knows which orders are on track until shipping day.

Sutton connects fabric and trim inventory, style BOMs, work orders and sales channels, so every garment is planned, made and shipped from the same live data.

Yes, Sutton can track fabric inventory by yardage and dye lot.
It does this by keeping track of each fabric roll by noting its length, supplier lot, and color batch. When fabric is used, yardage is updated automatically. Barcode scanning makes it easy to follow rolls as they move between locations or jobs. This way, teams always know how much fabric is available, which dye lot it belongs to, and where it has been used.
This helps prevent waste and mix-ups.
Begin by making a bill of materials when costing a garment with several components (you can do this in a garment manufacturing software like Sutton).
Write down each material you use, such as fabric, lining, zippers, buttons, labels, and boxes, along with the quantity for each. Include a little extra for waste, for example, 5-10% more fabric. Multiply each item's quantity by its price, then add the totals. After that, include labor costs by multiplying the time required by the hourly rate, and add any overhead costs per piece.
Remember to include packing, shipping, and a profit margin to cover sampling and quality control.
We keep track of garment quality by checking each item at every step of production.
Before production begins, teams look over fabrics, trims, and samples. As cutting and sewing go on, both workers and inspectors check the stitching, fit, and measurements. Once the garments are finished, they are checked again for any defects, correct labels, and proper packing. Many factories use checklists, barcodes, and quality software to keep records, catch problems early, and trace issues back to where they started so they can be fixed quickly.
Production scheduling for cut-and-sew makes sure orders go out on time.
The team begins by looking over the order details, including sizes, colors, due dates, and the BOM. They find out when the fabrics and trims will get in, then pick a cut date. Each step (spreading, cutting, sewing, checking, and packing) gets assigned to the right machines and people. They estimate how long each part will take, set the task order, monitor progress, and adjust quickly if something gets held up.
Apparel manufacturing software helps clothing makers plan and track garment production.
This software brings together inventory, materials, and production in one place. Teams can plan jobs, keep track of fabric, trims, and sizes, and follow each step from cutting to shipping. Barcode scans and automatic updates help keep counts right and cut down on errors. The system also shows what is done, what comes next, and when to order more supplies.
