What growing producers are up against.
Built for bakery traceability software.
Ingredient-to-loaf genealogy
Every packaged bakery lot traces back through its mix and bake batch to the exact flour and ingredient lots that went in.
Allergen lot visibility
Because materials are tracked by lot into every batch, you can scope which finished goods a specific allergen-bearing lot touched.
Wholesale delivery trace
Link packaged lots to the grocers, cafés, and distributors that received them for fast, accurate recall notifications.
Best-by lot records
Create finished-lot records with lot numbers, label versions, and best-by dates from each completed batch.
One connected chain, receiving to shipment.
Log each incoming supplier lot with quantity, expiration, and COA status - the lot lands in quarantine until it's inspected and approved.
Start a batch and consume exact approved lots. LotThread blocks anything on hold, expired, or short before it enters production.
Turn a completed batch into finished lots with traceable lot numbers, quantities, label versions, and best-by dates.
Track remaining quantity, location, expiry, and hold/release state so you always know what's clear to ship.
Record customer shipments with the same guardrails, closing the chain from supplier lot to the customer who received it.
Outcomes producers feel right away.
Questions about bakery traceability software.
We bake in daily runs - does batch tracking fit that?
Yes. Each production run is a batch that consumes specific ingredient lots and yields packaged lots, so a day's output is fully traceable without changing how you bake.
Do I have to replace my accounting or ecommerce tools?
No. LotThread is the traceability layer that sits alongside QuickBooks, Shopify, and the tools you already use - it connects your materials, batches, and shipments into one record without replacing your books or storefront.
How long does it take to trace my first product?
Most producers trace a first product in an afternoon. You set up one product, one supplier, and one production batch, and the genealogy and recall scoping compute from there - no manufacturing ERP rollout required.
Can I import existing lots from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Map your columns once and bulk-import materials, suppliers, and existing lots from a spreadsheet or supplier file, so you start with your real history instead of a blank system.
