LotThread connects incoming materials, production batches, finished goods, and customer shipments in one clear, traceable record.
No manufacturing ERP required. Trace your first product in an afternoon.
Every material LotThread receives becomes part of a connected production history that can be followed backward to its supplier or forward to every finished product and customer.
A phone in the aisle, a scanner gun at the dock, a keyboard, a spreadsheet, or a connected system - every item enters as a first-class node, linked to its supplier, lot, quantity, and expiry the moment it's captured.
Each beep creates or updates the connected material record - lot, quantity, and expiry captured hands-free.
Click any record to trace it. Connected batches, finished lots, and customers light up; everything unrelated fades away.
Select a supplier lot and instantly identify every affected batch, finished product, inventory location, and customer destination.
Keep the accounting, ecommerce, and operational tools you already use. LotThread becomes the clear traceability layer connecting materials, production, inventory, and shipments.
Spreadsheet import, guided setup, label configuration, and direct help from our team - you keep producing while your history comes online.
Bring materials, suppliers, and existing lots in from spreadsheets or supplier files - mapped once and validated.
Set up what you make and the materials each product consumes, with guided setup and label configuration.
Scan, produce, and ship - every record connects from here, and the history builds itself as you work.
Purpose-built for food & beverage first - and just as suited to cosmetics, pet products, soap, candles, and other batch-produced goods.
Big buttons, live batch status, and direct warnings - designed for a tablet at the workbench, not a desk covered in spreadsheets.
Who did what, when, and why - a complete, timestamped history behind every record.
People see and change only what their job requires.
Hosted on secure cloud infrastructure with encrypted, regularly-tested backups. A dedicated security page covering encryption, access controls, and data handling is on the way - we describe only what LotThread actually does today.
