What growing producers are up against.
Built for haccp recordkeeping & traceability software.
Checks on the batch record
In-process checks are captured on the batch before completion, part of a permanent, timestamped history.
Documented holds & releases
Every hold, approval, and release records the user and reason, so corrective actions and dispositions are traceable.
One record, safety and trace
Because it's all one event ledger, food-safety records and lot genealogy live together instead of in separate binders.
Export for audits
Trace histories are available as CSV exports and print-ready reports, reducing manual record assembly.
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 haccp recordkeeping & traceability software.
Is LotThread a full HACCP plan or QMS?
No - LotThread provides the traceability and production recordkeeping that supports HACCP, not the full plan or a complete quality management system. It captures the checks, holds, and lot genealogy behind your process on permanent records.
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.
