Batch & production tracking software

Run production as tracked batches: consume exact approved lots, record in-process checks, capture yield, and package into finished lots - with guardrails that block held, expired, or short lots.

The problem

What growing producers are up against.

! Batch sheets are on paper and don't connect to inventory or finished goods.
! There's nothing stopping an expired or held lot from being used in a run.
! Yield and consumption are reconciled after the fact, if at all.
How LotThread helps

Built for batch & production tracking software.

Exact-lot consumption

A batch consumes specific approved material lots, so the finished lots inherit an exact, provable ingredient chain.

Built-in guardrails

Lots on hold, expired, or short of available quantity are blocked from a batch automatically - mistakes are caught before the run.

Checks & yield capture

Record in-process checks and the completed yield on the batch record, so the numbers behind each run are permanent.

Package into finished lots

Turn a completed batch into finished lots with lot numbers and best-by dates, ready to release, label, and ship.

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.

Tie every finished lot to exact consumed lots
Stop expired or held lots entering production
Capture yield and checks on the record
Package and label finished lots in one flow
FAQ

Questions about batch & production tracking software.

What happens if someone tries to use a held lot?

The consumption is blocked. LotThread won't let a batch consume a lot that's on hold, expired, or short of available quantity, so the guardrail catches the problem before the run instead of after.

Can I record in-process quality checks?

Yes. Checks are recorded on the batch before it completes, and the captured yield and checks become part of the permanent, timestamped batch record.

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.

Replace scattered spreadsheets and production records with one connected history from receiving through shipment.
