Link every raw material lot to the formula batch and the filled units it produced, with best-by dates and hold status - the batch records a cosmetics buyer or GMP audit expects.
Start a batch, consume exact approved material lots, record in-process checks, and complete with a captured yield - all on one append-only record.
Materials land in quarantine until inspected; anything on hold or expired is blocked from entering a formula batch automatically.
Each filled, labeled lot traces back through its formula batch to every raw material lot and supplier behind it.
Every action is logged with user, time, and reason and exports to PDF or CSV, so a GMP or retailer audit is a download, not a scramble.
Log each incoming supplier lot with quantity, expiration, and certificate - the lot lands in quarantine until it's inspected and approved.
Start a batch and consume exact approved lots. LotThread blocks anything on hold, expired, or short before it enters production.
Turn a completed batch into finished lots with lot numbers and best-by dates, and generate a label in one click.
Track remaining quantity, location, expiry, and hold/release state so you always know what's clear to ship.
Record customer shipments with the same guardrails, closing the chain from supplier lot to the customer who received it.
Yes. Finished lots carry best-by dates, and inventory flags materials that are expiring or expired so they're kept out of new batches.
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.
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.
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.
Begin with one product, one supplier, and one production batch.
