The problem

What growing producers are up against.

! Source lots, customer-specific production, assembly, blending, filling, and packing records, and destination details live in separate files or systems.
! A single source lot may enter several runs, while one customer-specific finished lots may contain several source lots.
! A quality issue or withdrawal means manually reconciling production, inventory, and delivery records.

FAQ

Questions about contract manufacturing traceability software.

Can LotThread trace multiple input lots through customer-specific production, assembly, blending, filling, and packing?

Yes. Each production batch can consume multiple approved lots with exact quantities, and every input remains linked to its resulting finished lots and shipments.

Does LotThread replace customer relationship, quoting, accounting, MRP, or full contract-manufacturing ERP systems?

No. LotThread is the lot-genealogy, inventory, hold, and shipment layer. Keep customer relationship, quoting, accounting, MRP, or full contract-manufacturing ERP systems alongside it for the broader workflows they manage.

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.
