What growing producers are up against.
Built for dairy & creamery traceability software.
Make & culture batches
Track each make as a batch that consumes milk and ingredient lots and yields finished, dated product lots.
Perishable expiry control
Inventory flags what's expiring or expired and holds it out of new batches and shipments - critical for short-shelf-life dairy.
Product-to-milk trace
Any finished lot traces back to its make batch and the milk and ingredient lots behind it.
Fast recall scoping
Scope a suspect lot across batches, finished product, and customers in minutes, then contain affected inventory at once.
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 dairy & creamery traceability software.
Does LotThread handle short shelf-life products?
Yes. Expiry is tracked on every lot, inventory surfaces what's expiring soon, and expired lots are blocked from production and shipment - which matters most for perishable dairy.
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.
