FoodLogiQ Traceability vs LotThread

FoodLogiQ Traceability helps food companies capture and share Critical Tracking Event (CTE) data across their organization and supply chain partners. It supports FSMA 204 traceability recordkeeping and lets teams follow products forward and backward at the batch-lot level. The Investigations interface shows product movement on timelines and maps and helps identify gaps in CTE data. Users can create a withdrawal from an investigation and export investigation events in an FSMA 204 Electronic Sortable Spreadsheet ZIP containing related event, location, and product information. Trustwell describes the product as aligned with GS1 standards for organizing product, location, and event data to share with supply chain partners. Mobile access supports reporting, reviewing, and acting on supply chain data. APIs and connected workflows can support integrations with ERP, MES, supplier, and operational systems. Listed audit capabilities include role-based permissions, audit trails, time-stamped activity, historical data visibility, and change tracking. Trustwell identifies restaurants, grocers and retailers, food manufacturers, and food distributors as audiences. Platforms include Android, iOS, web, and API. Pricing is on request; prospective customers can request a personalized demo.

LotThread connects material, production batch, finished-lot, and shipment records so food and beverage producers can trace products and prepare recall information. Teams can follow a supplier lot forward to customers or trace a finished lot backward to its materials and suppliers. Production tracking records formulas, consumed materials, operators, time, and yield; inventory tracking covers quantities, expiry, warehouse locations, and hold or release status. The product supports mock recalls and exports trace records for review. Records can be entered through mobile scanning, scanner guns, manual entry, bulk imports, or connected apps. LotThread is designed for growing producers who need connected production records without a heavyweight ERP, and can sit alongside QuickBooks and Shopify. The free Starter plan covers one facility and three users. Growth costs $59/month and adds unlimited users, lot-level inventory, mock recalls, label printing, supplier COA status, and API and integration keys. Production costs $199/month and adds multiple facilities and lines, quality holds, recall case workflows, compliance exports, and priority onboarding. LotThread says it is a record-keeping tool and does not itself make customers compliant with laws or standards such as FSMA 204 or HACCP.
