FAQ

Questions about lot tracking software for small manufacturers.

Is LotThread affordable for a small producer?

It's built and priced for growing producers. Plans scale to your production rather than your user count, setup is guided rather than consultant-led, and you can start with a single facility and workflow.

Will I outgrow it?

It's designed to grow with you - from a single product and facility toward multiple facilities, quality holds, and approval workflows - so the records you build early keep serving you as you scale.

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.
