What growing producers are up against.
Built for frozen & prepared food traceability software.
Multi-ingredient batch trace
Consume the exact approved ingredient lots in every prepared-food run, preserving the full many-to-many recipe genealogy.
Finished-lot shelf life
Record package lot, best-by date, quantity, and storage location, with hold and release state visible across inventory.
Guarded production and shipping
Held, expired, or insufficient lots are blocked before they can enter a batch or customer shipment.
Precise recall scope
Start from an ingredient or finished lot and identify affected batches, inventory, and customers without pulling unrelated 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 frozen & prepared food traceability software.
Does LotThread monitor freezer temperatures?
Not currently. LotThread records lot genealogy, quantities, dates, locations, holds, and shipments; use your temperature-monitoring system alongside it.
Can one ingredient lot appear in many production runs?
Yes. LotThread traces one material lot forward through every batch and finished lot that consumed it, including the customer shipments downstream.
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.
