Digit Software rebrands as Sutton with AI-native ERP tools

Digit Software has rebranded as Sutton and moved its website to heysutton.com as it expands an AI-native ERP platform for manufacturers and distributors. The company also unveiled Sutton Studio, a tool that lets operators build custom apps on live production data in minutes instead of waiting months for bespoke software.

Why it matters: - Sutton is pitching a different model for operations software: teams can shape their own tools inside an ERP system instead of forcing workflows into fixed software. - The rebrand signals a push to make custom operational tools faster and more accessible for manufacturers and distributors. - The company says the approach can replace spreadsheets and one-off software requests with tools built by operators themselves.

What happened: - Digit Software has become Sutton. - The company moved its website to heysutton.com. - Sutton Studio shipped last month alongside the new brand. - Sutton serves manufacturers and distributors with inventory, production, purchasing, fulfillment and sales in one system.

The details: - Sutton Studio lets an operator type what they want and generate a working tool on live production data in minutes. - The system is designed to understand a workflow and produce a tool to exact specifications. - Customers have used Sutton Studio to build production floor dashboards, delivery boards matched to fulfillment source, supplier scorecards, receiving inspection forms and yield trackers. - Sutton says the tools are built for the specific needs of each operation. - Customers include growing companies and national brands such as Ballast Point and Great American Cookies. - A company that runs inventory and procurement for its 400+ franchise locations uses Sutton. - Andrew Pedersen of Pac Basic said he types out a problem, summarizes what he wants to see and the system creates it in a couple of minutes. - Dan Koukol is co-founder and CEO of Sutton. - Koukol said most operations face a choice between software that changes their workflows or custom software that takes months to build. - Koukol said Sutton built a layer that operators can create and edit themselves using their business data and workflows. - Sutton was founded in 2021 by Dan Koukol, Simon Kronenberg and Alena Dagneau. - The company has raised $6.3 million in funding. - Sutton serves customers across North America and Europe.

Between the lines: - The rebrand ties the company name more closely to the product promise: an AI-native ERP that is meant to be shaped by the operator, not imposed on them. - Sutton is positioning Studio as the bridge between off-the-shelf software and expensive custom development. - Koukol’s background running Prodigy Disc appears to inform the product strategy: build the system he wished he had when managing a manufacturing business.

What's next: - Sutton will likely use the new brand and Studio launch to widen adoption among manufacturers and distributors looking for more flexible operations software. - The company’s next test is whether operators continue replacing manual workflows and bespoke requests with tools they can create inside Sutton themselves. - Sutton says more information is available at heysutton.com.
