The problem

What growing producers are up against.

! Audits mean days of assembling records from paper and spreadsheets.
! It's hard to prove who changed what and why after the fact.
! Supplier certificates and batch records are scattered across systems.
How LotThread helps

Built for audit-ready traceability records software.

Complete edit history

Every action is logged with user, timestamp, and reason, and corrections are documented rather than overwritten.

Documents on the record

Certificates and supplier documents attach to the lots they cover, so an auditor's request is already answered.

Export on demand

Any lot's full history - genealogy, events, and documents - exports to PDF or CSV whenever you need it.

Role-based access

People see and change only what their role requires, so the record reflects real, controlled responsibility.

Follow the thread

One connected chain, receiving to shipment.

1
Receive

Log each incoming supplier lot with quantity, expiration, and certificate - the lot lands in quarantine until it's inspected and approved.

2
Produce

Start a batch and consume exact approved lots. LotThread blocks anything on hold, expired, or short before it enters production.

3
Package

Turn a completed batch into finished lots with lot numbers and best-by dates, and generate a label in one click.

4
Store

Track remaining quantity, location, expiry, and hold/release state so you always know what's clear to ship.

5
Ship

Record customer shipments with the same guardrails, closing the chain from supplier lot to the customer who received it.

FAQ

Questions about audit-ready traceability records software.

Can records be corrected after a mistake?

Yes - with a full timestamped edit history. Corrections are documented rather than erased, so every change is visible and the record stays defensible.

How is audit history preserved?

Every action is logged with user, timestamp, and reason on an append-only ledger, and the history exports to PDF or CSV at any time.

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.
