LotThread
What it is
LotThread connects materials, production batches, finished lots, and shipments for traceability and recall preparation. Food and beverage producers can trace a supplier lot forward to customers or work backward from a finished lot to its materials and suppliers. Production records can cover formulas, consumed materials, operators, time, and yield. Inventory tracking includes quantities, expiry, warehouse locations, and hold or release status. Teams can run mock recalls and export trace records for review. Records may be entered through mobile scanning, scanner guns, manual entry, bulk imports, or connected apps. LotThread is designed for growing producers seeking connected records without a heavyweight ERP, and can sit alongside QuickBooks and Shopify rather than replacing those tools. Starter is free for one facility and three users. Growth costs $59 a month and includes API and integration keys; Production costs $199 a month and includes multiple facilities and lines, quality holds, recall case workflows, compliance exports, and priority onboarding. LotThread states that it is a record-keeping and traceability tool and does not itself make customers compliant with standards such as FSMA 204 or HACCP.
