What growing producers are up against.
Built for supplier lot & coa tracking software.
Quarantine on receipt
Every incoming lot lands in quarantine until it's inspected - approve, hold, reject, or release, with the decision on the record.
COA status by lot
Mark whether a required COA is on file for each received lot, so the status stays visible through approval and use.
Inspection gate
Only approved lots can be consumed in a batch, so an uninspected or rejected lot can't slip into production.
Full supplier records
Track suppliers and their materials as reusable records, so every received lot ties back to a known source.
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 supplier lot & coa tracking software.
Where do supplier COAs live?
LotThread records whether the COA is on file for each lot and can require that status by material. Keep the actual file in your existing document storage; native file attachments are not currently part of LotThread.
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.
