What growing producers are up against.
Built for barcode & scanner lot tracking software.
Multiple capture methods
Mobile-camera scan, USB or Bluetooth scanner gun, manual entry, and bulk import all feed the same lot records.
Works with your scanner
Any USB or Bluetooth scanner gun works at a receiving station alongside phone-camera scanning - no special hardware to buy.
Mobile & tablet ready
Receiving works on any phone, and production capture is designed for a tablet at the workbench.
One connected record
However a lot is captured, it lands in the same event ledger and genealogy, so nothing is siloed by device.
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 barcode & scanner lot tracking software.
Can I use my existing barcode scanner?
Yes. Any USB or Bluetooth scanner gun works at a receiving station, alongside phone-camera scanning - so you can start with the hardware you already have.
Does it work on phones and tablets?
Yes. Receiving works on any phone, and production capture is designed for a tablet at the workbench, so capture happens where the work happens.
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.
