What growing producers are up against.
Built for food & beverage traceability software.
One record from supplier to customer
Every receive, produce, package, and ship writes to an append-only event ledger, so the full genealogy of any lot is always one click away.
Trace forward and backward
Start from a supplier lot and see every customer who got affected product, or start from a finished lot and see every ingredient that went into it.
Mock recalls on demand
Pick a suspect lot and instantly scope affected batches, finished lots, on-hand units, and customers - then contain it with one click.
Built-in guardrails
Lots on hold, expired, or short are blocked from production and shipment automatically, so mistakes are caught before they leave the building.
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 food & beverage traceability software.
Is LotThread a full food manufacturing ERP?
No, by design. LotThread is a focused traceability layer - receiving, production, inventory, finished goods, and recalls - not a broad accounting and planning suite. It connects the tools you already run instead of replacing them.
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.
