What growing producers are up against.
Built for fresh produce traceability software.
Incoming lot to packed case
Receive each grower or supplier lot, consume it in a tracked pack or fresh-cut batch, and generate a connected finished-lot code.
Pack-run genealogy
When several incoming lots feed one run - or one lot feeds several runs - the many-to-many genealogy preserves every link.
Shelf-life visibility
Track best-by dates, remaining quantities, locations, and hold state so the team can act before product expires.
Customer-level recall scope
Trace suspect produce forward through packed lots to the exact customer shipments, while separating unaffected product.
One connected chain, receiving to shipment.
Log each incoming supplier lot with quantity, expiration, and COA status - 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 traceable lot numbers, quantities, label versions, and best-by dates.
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.
Outcomes producers feel right away.
Questions about fresh produce traceability software.
Can one pack run use more than one incoming produce lot?
Yes. A production or packing batch can consume multiple approved lots, and every source remains connected to the finished packed lot.
Does LotThread replace a warehouse or grower-management system?
No. LotThread is the focused lot-traceability layer from receiving through customer shipment; it can sit beside the warehouse, accounting, and grower tools you already use.
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.
