About Sutton (formerly Digit Software) is an AI-native operating system built for companies that manage physical operations, from manufacturing and inventory to distribution and beyond. It gives you a powerful, all-in-one core that runs your operations out of the box, with the flexibility to extend, shape, and mold it to fit exactly how your business works. With Sutton Studio, teams can build and launch their own custom apps directly on the platform using natural language, no code required, with permissions inherited from the tools they already use. The result is a system that adapts to your business in minutes, not months. The platform includes capabilities for supplier management, serialized and lot-based inventory tracking, bills of materials and routings, production scheduling, quality control, guided picking and packing, and order fulfillment. It features a built-in B2B portal for customer and distributor collaboration, job scheduling for production and service teams, and integrations with accounting and commerce tools such as QuickBooks and Shopify and so much more. By connecting systems that were once siloed, and letting teams extend the platform themselves instead of waiting on a vendor roadmap, Sutton becomes the real-time, AI-native operating system for product-based businesses, giving companies visibility, accuracy, and confidence across every process.

Pros from Real Users Pros We have used Flowlens from the opening of our company back in 2020, it was and is a key driver to our daily operations. From quoting, to acknowledging orders, creating job cards, placing purchase orders, inventory control aswell as reporting and invoicing. The Flowlens team have been a great support throughout our time using Flowlens! The systems ease and functionality make it a really good MRP system for us and I would recommend to others. Ease of use, revolutionised stock control and manufacturing. took care of the quality control inspections and testing The dashboard and the many widgets that are available to use give a complete picture of where we are at with sales, quotes, conversions of orders. The reporting suite provides visibility on all the metrics we need, profitability, stock, stock movements etc. therefore visibility across the business is incredible compared to our previous systems. Easy to use. Integrates well with the accounts package.		Pros from Real Users Pros Great software, easy to implement and very responsive team. It has a simple user interface and is intuitive for people on the floor.
