What growing producers are up against.
Built for inventory & expiration date tracking software.
Per-lot inventory
See remaining quantity, warehouse location, expiry, and lifecycle state for every lot in one place.
Expiring-soon surfacing
Inventory flags lots that are expiring or expired, so short-shelf-life stock gets used or cleared in time.
Expiry & hold guardrails
Expired and held lots are blocked from being consumed in a batch or added to a shipment automatically.
Holds & releases view
Everything not yet cleared shows in one place with inline approve and release, so nothing stuck is forgotten.
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 inventory & expiration date tracking software.
Does LotThread stop expired lots from shipping?
Yes. Expired and held lots are blocked from production, and the shipment form warns on any hold, expiry, or short quantity before product goes out the door.
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.
