The problem

What growing producers are up against.

! Lot numbers are assigned by hand and don't stay consistent.
! Labels are made separately and don't match the record.
! A lot number on a package can't be traced back to anything.
How LotThread helps

Built for lot number tracking software.

Lot numbers on every record

Batches and finished lots carry lot numbers that stay tied to their genealogy and event history.

Matching lot labels

Generate batch and finished-lot labels with lot numbers and best-by dates straight from the record, so the label always matches.

End-to-end lot lookup

Look up any lot number and see its full chain - supplier lot, batch, finished lot, and customer shipments.

Global search

Find any lot number instantly from the top-bar search across the whole app.

Follow the thread

One connected chain, receiving to shipment.

3
Package

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

FAQ

Questions about lot number tracking software.

Can I generate lot labels?

Yes. LotThread generates batch and finished-lot labels with lot numbers and best-by dates directly from each record, so the printed label always matches what's in the system.

Can I trace a lot number a customer gives me?

Yes. Search the lot number and you'll see its whole chain - the supplier lot behind it, the batch, the finished lot, and every customer shipment it reached.

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.
