The problem

What growing producers are up against.

! Allergen-bearing ingredient lots aren't tied to the finished goods that contain them.
! Wholesale accounts increasingly ask for lot-level traceability you can't produce quickly.
! A flour recall means manually working out which day's bakes and deliveries are affected.
How LotThread helps

Built for bakery traceability software.

Ingredient-to-loaf genealogy

Every packaged bakery lot traces back through its mix and bake batch to the exact flour and ingredient lots that went in.

Allergen lot visibility

Because materials are tracked by lot into every batch, you can scope which finished goods a specific allergen-bearing lot touched.

Wholesale delivery trace

Link packaged lots to the grocers, cafés, and distributors that received them for fast, accurate recall notifications.

Best-by labels

Generate finished-lot labels with lot numbers and best-by dates straight from each completed batch.

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.

What you get

Outcomes producers feel right away.

Trace any loaf or pack back to its flour lot
Scope allergen or ingredient issues to exact finished goods
Meet wholesale buyers' traceability requirements
Notify only the customers a recall actually affects
FAQ

Questions about bakery traceability software.

We bake in daily runs - does batch tracking fit that?

Yes. Each production run is a batch that consumes specific ingredient lots and yields packaged lots, so a day's output is fully traceable without changing how you bake.

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.
