Receive every supplier lot into quarantine with quantity, expiry, and certificate, inspect and approve before use, and keep each COA attached to the lot it covers - for the life of the record.
Every incoming lot lands in quarantine until it's inspected - approve, hold, reject, or release, with the decision on the record.
COAs and supplier documents attach to the lots they cover, so the certificate travels with the record and shows up in exports.
Only approved lots can be consumed in a batch, so an uninspected or rejected lot can't slip into production.
Track suppliers and their materials as records, so every lot ties back to a known source with its documents.
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.
On the lot. Documents and certificates attach to the material lot they cover, so a COA is part of the lot's permanent history and appears in any PDF or CSV export of that record.
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.
