Plastics software for resin, molds and production runs.
Get started with Sutton to manage your inventory, plan your production, and keep track of your entire business in one easy-to-use system.
When every pound of resin counts, spreadsheets slip
Plastics and rubber manufacturers buy resin and compounds by weight, run molding and extrusion jobs across many machines, then ship finished parts by the piece.
Resin and regrind unaccounted for
Virgin resin, colorants and regrind get mixed at the press, and spreadsheet counts rarely reflect what was actually used.
Machine schedules on whiteboards
Press and extrusion line schedules live on whiteboards, so a mold change or late resin delivery throws off every job.
No clear cost per part
Without material usage tied to each run, it is hard to know what a molded or extruded part really costs.
One system from pellet to finished part
Sutton connects resin inventory, machine schedules and customer orders, so every production run uses the right materials and every finished part traces back to its batch.
Resin and Compound Inventory
Track resin, masterbatch, compounds and regrind by lot, location and weight in real time.
Machine Scheduling
Schedule molding presses and extrusion lines as workstations, with routings that follow each job.
Multi-Level BOMs
Define resin blends, inserts and packaging for every part and assembly in one bill of materials.
Part Costing
See material and production costs for every run and track COGS by part and customer.

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.
Three critical materials are projected to run out within the next seven days:
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.

Sutton centralizes how you define and run formulations by using bills of materials and routings that keep structures, steps, and units consistent from planning through execution. You can build simple or multi-level BOMs, set items to buy, make, or sell, and apply unit-of-measure conversions so recipes stay accurate across variants.
On the planning side, Sutton looks at live demand, on-hand stock, open POs, and scheduled production to surface what each job needs. The planning view marks components as Available, Missing, or Needs Action so teams can resolve shortages before work starts, with safety stock and reorder points helping you time purchases.
During execution, operators issue materials, record progress, and capture actual versus planned quantities and time at each step. That lets you compare plan to reality and estimate yields based on the BOM and the outputs recorded on the job, without guessing.
Throughout, inventory accuracy is maintained with barcode scanning, lot/serial tracking, and multi-location visibility, including nested pallets and containers, so you always know what was used and where it went. This connected record supports traceability and keeps purchasing, production, and fulfillment aligned.
Sutton is designed to help manufacturers launch fast.
Most teams are up and running in 30 days or less with support from a dedicated customer success manager who guides setup from start to finish.
You begin by logging in, confirming your profile, and uploading existing data such as customers, suppliers, and materials through a simple CSV import. Your customer success manager will then walk you through connecting any hardware, like barcode scanners, and help you confirm that everything is ready to go.
Training is short because Sutton’s workflows are intuitive and match how manufacturers already work. Once setup is complete, your team can start managing inventory, planning production, and tracking jobs in real time.
With clear guidance and built-in support, you can move from first login to full use without delays or confusion.
Plastics and rubber manufacturing software is a single system that ties together the daily work of your plant:
- Materials,
- Production,
- Inventory,
- Scheduling,
- Shipping, and
- Customer updates.
In practice, that means you can see live stock across sites and bins, track batches and lots, scan barcodes on the floor, and run jobs against accurate bills of materials and routings.
Teams plan work, reserve materials, and record progress in real time, so shortages and delays surface early instead of at dispatch.
General ERP covers many departments, but often stops short of the shop-floor detail that manufacturers rely on.
Sutton focuses on the manufacturing core. You get multi-level BOMs, MOs with steps and work centers, demand and supply planning with safety stock and reorder points, and cost visibility from material and time entries. Picking, packing, and shipping are built in, with documents generated from the same data you used to plan the job.
Because inventory accuracy is everything in plastics and rubber, Sutton also supports multi-location tracking, nested pallets and containers, cycle counts, and floor adjustments with barcode scanning, so counts stay true as items move.
