Chemical manufacturing software for formulas and batches.
Plan production, manage formulas, and maintain total visibility over materials, batches, and serialized inventory, all in one fully connected platform with Sutton.
When batches must be traceable, spreadsheets are a risk
Chemical makers blend raw materials into batches measured by weight and volume, while tracking purity, retest dates and documents that customers and inspectors expect on request.
Formula changes go untracked
Adjustments to blends and batch formulas live in separate files, so production runs drift and yield variances go unnoticed.
Expired materials slip through
Without retest and expiration tracking, aged raw materials end up in batches and good stock ends up written off.
Documents scattered across folders
COAs, SDSs and QC results sit in inboxes and shared drives, making audit and customer requests slow to answer.
One system from raw material to drum
Sutton connects formulas, lot-tracked raw materials, production runs and quality records, so every batch you ship can be traced back to its inputs.
Formula and Batch Control
Manage batch formulas as multi-level BOMs and monitor material usage and yield variance on each run.
Lot and Expiry Tracking
Track raw materials by lot with expiration and retest dates visible across every warehouse and bin.
Production Scheduling
Plan blending runs around material and resource availability and share live progress across sites.
Quality Records
Record QC checks and attach COAs, SDSs and test results to the batches they belong to.

Everything you need to run your operations with Sutton.
One platform for inventory, production and purchasing, with Studio to build your own apps and Intelligence to show you what needs attention.
Run every operation from one system
Inventory, purchasing, production and sales orders share the same live data, so every team works from one source of truth.
Build your own apps in plain English
Describe the screen, report or automation you need and Studio builds it on your live data in minutes. Prefer a hand? Our team builds it with you.
See what needs attention before it costs you
Sutton Intelligence turns your live operations data into insights, so you can spot shortages, delays and margin issues early.
Yes.

I recommend reordering all three items now to avoid production delays.
Based on current demand, open orders, and supplier lead times, you should order:
No more implementation.
Just onboarding.
Sutton's onboarding agent reformats your data, configures your system, and gets you live. A real human is always a call away. And if something is missing, describe it in plain English and it exists inside the product in minutes.
Hi Siddharth,
How can I help you today?
AI agents reformat your data, map your fields, make bulk edits, and configure the system. What used to take weeks of manual work happens automatically. You review and confirm.
What would you recommend for purchase approvals?
For your operation, I’d add a manager review step only for high-value orders. It keeps things moving without losing control.
Sounds good. How soon can we test it?
I can have the updated workflow ready tomorrow, then we’ll test it with your team and move toward launch.
Map your locations, workflows, and rules. Sutton is configured around how your operation actually runs — no rigid templates.

Questions? Answers.
Your most frequently asked questions, all in one place. If you don’t see what you need, reach out to us.
Yes. You can record expiration, retest, or shelf-life dates for any material or batch and see them right in your inventory view. It’s easy to add alerts or filters so you always use materials in the right order and avoid anything that’s expired.
Sutton maintains full version control for every formula. Each version includes ingredients, quantities, and process steps with cost and yield data. Any change creates a new version automatically, keeping a complete record of who changed what and when.
Sutton creates a complete genealogy record showing which raw materials went into each batch and where it was shipped. Every lot and container movement is traceable, ensuring quick action during audits or recalls.
Most teams go live within 30 days or less with help from a dedicated customer success manager.
Training is fast because Sutton’s workflows mirror how manufacturers already operate.
Batch traceability in chemical manufacturing software is a lot like the tracking used in other industries, including food and beverage production.
In chemicals, it means you follow each batch from the raw materials to the final destination and keep a clear record the whole way. You log what materials and lots were used, the amounts consumed, and the dates and times for each step. You also capture where the work happened, who did it, and the results of quality checks and any documents like COAs.
This level of tracking helps protect quality and safety, keeps you compliant with rules, and lets your team act fast if there is a recall or a customer issue. With full history, you can find the exact products and shipments affected, notify the right customers, and fix the problem without guesswork.
Chemical manufacturing software connects formulation, production, inventory, and compliance data in one system.
Sutton records every formula, batch, and movement in real time, ensuring accuracy from raw materials to finished goods. Teams can plan production, track ingredients, and upload audit-ready documentation at any stage of the manufacturing process.
Sutton helps you keep every check organized without slowing things down. You can log quality results at any stage, attach Certificates of Analysis or other documents, and flag any batches that don’t meet your standards.
