The problem

What growing producers are up against.

! Green lots, roast logs, and wholesale orders are tracked in three different places.
! Roast shrinkage makes it hard to reconcile green kilos in with roasted bags out.
! A wholesale buyer asks which origin is in a bag and it takes a phone call to the roaster to find out.
How LotThread helps

Built for coffee roastery traceability software.

Green lot to packaged bag

Receive green coffee by importer and lot, roast it in tracked batches, and package into finished lots - every link preserved from origin to customer.

Roast batch yield tracking

Record green consumed and roasted output per batch, so shrinkage is captured in the record instead of guessed at month-end.

Origin trace on any bag

Scan or look up a packaged lot and see the exact green coffee lot, roast date, and operator behind it.

Wholesale shipment history

Link finished roast lots to the cafés and shops that received them, so a quality question maps straight to affected customers.

FAQ

Questions about coffee roastery traceability software.

Can I track multiple origins blended in one roast?

Yes. A roast batch can consume several green coffee lots, and the genealogy keeps every one of them linked to the finished packaged lot - so a blend still traces cleanly back to each origin.

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.
