What growing producers are up against.
Built for batch & production tracking software.
Exact-lot consumption
A batch consumes specific approved material lots, so the finished lots inherit an exact, provable ingredient chain.
Built-in guardrails
Lots on hold, expired, or short of available quantity are blocked from a batch automatically - mistakes are caught before the run.
Checks & yield capture
Record in-process checks and the completed yield on the batch record, so the numbers behind each run are permanent.
Package into finished lots
Turn a completed batch into finished lots with lot numbers, quantities, label versions, and best-by dates, ready to release and ship.
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 batch & production tracking software.
What happens if someone tries to use a held lot?
The consumption is blocked. LotThread won't let a batch consume a lot that's on hold, expired, or short of available quantity, so the guardrail catches the problem before the run instead of after.
Can I record in-process quality checks?
Yes. Checks are recorded on the batch before it completes, and the captured yield and checks become part of the permanent, timestamped batch record.
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.
