The problem

What growing producers are up against.

! The Food Traceability Rule expects event-level records that spreadsheets don't naturally produce.
! Critical tracking events aren't captured consistently across receiving, production, and shipping.
! Pulling records together for a request would take days.
How LotThread helps

Built for fsma 204 traceability software.

Event-level records

Every receive, transform, pack, and ship is captured as a discrete event with who, what, when, and where - the shape traceability regulation expects.

Linked lot genealogy

Events connect materials, batches, and finished lots into a genealogy, so the chain behind any lot is complete and provable.

Fast record retrieval

Any lot's full history is a lookup, and records export to PDF or CSV, so responding to a request is a download rather than a project.

Readiness scoring

A per-stage readiness score from real rules shows where records are incomplete, with every issue linked to its fix.

Follow the thread

One connected chain, receiving to shipment.

1
Receive

Log each incoming supplier lot with quantity, expiration, and certificate - the lot lands in quarantine until it's inspected and approved.

2
Produce

Start a batch and consume exact approved lots. LotThread blocks anything on hold, expired, or short before it enters production.

3
Package

Turn a completed batch into finished lots with lot numbers and best-by dates, and generate a label in one click.

4
Store

Track remaining quantity, location, expiry, and hold/release state so you always know what's clear to ship.

5
Ship

Record customer shipments with the same guardrails, closing the chain from supplier lot to the customer who received it.

FAQ

Questions about fsma 204 traceability software.

Does LotThread make me FSMA 204 compliant?

LotThread gives you the connected, event-level lot records that FSMA 204 readiness is built on - critical tracking events captured and linked as you work. Compliance also depends on your own processes and scope, but the recordkeeping foundation is here and exportable.

Are the records exportable for a request?

Yes. Every action is logged with user, time, and reason, and any lot's history exports to PDF or CSV on demand.

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.

Replace scattered spreadsheets and production records with one connected history from receiving through shipment.
