Meet the one-up, one-down baseline for every lot - one step back to the supplier lot, one step forward to the customer - and then trace the whole chain beyond it whenever you need to.
Every material lot ties to its supplier and receipt, so you can always show the source one step upstream.
Every finished lot ties to its customer shipments, so you can always show where product went one step downstream.
When you need more than one step, the full genealogy traces the entire chain from raw material to customer.
Any lot's one-up, one-down links - and the full chain - export to PDF or CSV for a buyer or auditor.
Log each incoming supplier lot with quantity, expiration, and certificate - 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 lot numbers and best-by dates, and generate a label in one click.
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.
Yes. One step back and one step forward is the baseline, but the genealogy traces the entire chain - from a raw material lot all the way to the customer - so you're covered when a single step isn't enough.
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.
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.
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.
Begin with one product, one supplier, and one production batch.
