For emerging food & beverage brands ready to scale

Every ingredient.
Every proof point.
Lottly is the operating system for emerging food & beverage brands — recipes and true costs, inventory and lot traceability, production planning and scheduling, supplier orders, invoices, certifications and buyer-ready proof. One record across every channel — wholesale, food service, your own café, online, the farmers market — from kitchen to shelf.

The whole back-end
Enter it once. Lottly carries it everywhere.
A lot-first record connects your recipes, stock, orders, invoices, nutrition panels and certifications — with an AI assistant guiding you throughout. Nothing gets typed twice, nothing falls through.
⚖
Recipes & true costs
Cost every recipe from live supplier prices — packaged products and menu items alike, whether you make it in-house, use a co-packer, or both. Change a price, watch your margin move.
⟳
Lot traceability
Every batch gets a lot number and a full record — ingredient lots in, customers out. Recall lookup in one search.
↗
Production planning
Orders become the make-list: what to produce, in what order, and what you are short. Draft POs and supplier emails are written for you.

Invoices with lot codes
Lot codes ride on every invoice line and sync to QuickBooks or Xero — accounting and traceability, one motion.
❖
Certifications hub
Organic, gluten-free, B Corp and more — applications assemble themselves from records you already keep.

Integrations
+16 and counting, connected to how you actually run — no retyping, no double entry. Toast, Square, Clover, PayPal Zettle, SumUp, WooCommerce, Squarespace, BigCommerce, Wix, Faire, Xero, QuickBooks, EDI, Shipstation, and more.
◷
Shifts, the crew kiosk & payroll
Schedule the week — your crew clocks in with a tap, no accounts, no app. Breaks compute by state rule, every pay period hands payroll a clean journal and CSV, and real labor lands in batch costs, so margins tell the truth about what a loaf costs to make.
➤
Pick, pack & ship
Pick lists draw the right lots, live rates come back from Shippo or ShipStation, labels print, and fulfillment pushes back to Shopify. Going by pallet — LTL quotes and a bill of lading, out of the same order.
◈
Sell sheets & buyer portal
A live vendor profile buyers open with one link — catalog, photos, margins, compliance docs — and a sell sheet PDF with your logo and the Lottly Verified badge.
Why brands scale on Lottly
Your orders run your production. Your lots ride your invoices.
The production plan writes itself
A new wholesale order lands, and Lottly does the math your production meeting used to: ordered minus finished stock, batch counts per recipe, and a materials check against current inventory. Your team opens the app and knows exactly what to make each run — anything short lands in a draft purchase order automatically.

SO-109 · 48 × Mango Habanero→ make 48 (2 batches)
Mango puree short 3.2 kg→ PO drafted
Every invoice carries its lot number
When you ship, you pick the lot — and the lot code prints on the invoice line and syncs to QuickBooks or Xero. That one habit is the difference between "traceable on paper" and a recall lookup that names every customer in minutes. No other step, no second system.

Who it's for
However you sell, it's one record.
The wholesale brand
Sales orders drive production, lot codes ride your invoices, buyers verify you in one link.
The co-packed brand
Your co-packer makes it; you still own the recall. Receive finished goods, trace every lot, keep the buyer story tight.
The café or bakery that makes what it sells
Wholesale loaves and the pastry case — or just the pastry case. Menu margins, ingredient truth and lot-traced batches from one kitchen record, whether or not you wholesale a single loaf.
The caterer
Event orders with dates and headcounts — the make-list, the shopping list and the invoice fall out of one entry.
The private or executive chef
Menu costing and ingredient truth without a storefront. Know what every plate costs before you quote it.
The market vendor
Load the van with a fulfilled order — stock counted, lots traced, no invoice needed.
Proof, not claims
The hard part isn't being legit. It's proving it.
Certifications and buyer verification run on the same evidence — your ingredient lists, supplier approvals, lot traceability and batch records. Keep them once, and both get easy.
Certifications hub
Apply in three steps, not three months.
Organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, kosher, B Corp and more — roughly 80% the same records, assembled live from what you already track. The second certification costs a fraction of the first.

Not a sticker. A record you can scan.

What customers are saying
Built with the brands using it.
★★★★★
"Traceability is everything when it comes to integrity with your customers — and it was the key bottleneck in our business. Lottly took 20+ hours of manual work off our plate every week and made it simple, cost-effective and easy to streamline our operations, our certifications, and our visibility into a truly regenerative supply chain. Thank you for being the exact team member we needed."

★★★★★
"The scan intake alone pays for it. Delivery arrives, we photograph the bill, and stock, prices and lot codes are just… in. Our recall drill went from a weekend project to three minutes."

Food purveyor of hot sauces · California
★★★★★
"Forecasting used to be a spreadsheet and a prayer. Now a new wholesale order tells us exactly what to brew and what to buy — and the purchase orders write themselves."

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who is Lottly for? +
Emerging food & beverage brands that are ready to scale — makers who care about impact, transparency and traceability, from farmers-market stalls to brands entering regional retail. If you make food, track lots (or should be), and want certifications and buyers to take you seriously, Lottly is your back office.
Do I have to move everything over at once? +
No. Most brands start with one recipe and their next production batch. The AI assistant guides your setup step by step — and answers questions in plain language whenever they come up. Scan a delivery bill, log a batch, ship an order — the record builds itself as you work. Full setup is an afternoon, not an implementation project.
How does the production forecast work? +
Open sales orders — including orders flowing in from Shopify — are compared against your finished stock; Lottly computes what to make (in whole batches, per recipe) and checks materials against current inventory. Anything short lands in a draft purchase order. Your production team sees a ready plan for every run.
What does Lottly Verified actually verify? +
That your records are current: live certification status, a timestamped mock-recall drill, complete lot traceability and compliance documents. Buyers open a link — no account — and see the live record, not a PDF from last year. If records lapse, the badge lapses.
What does Lottly integrate with? +
Live today: Shopify (both directions — online orders and POS in, finished-goods counts back), Square (every market day imports overnight as one order at real takings), WooCommerce, Faire (wholesale orders with the retailer named and your wholesale prices carried), Xero and QuickBooks (invoices with item codes and your chosen sales accounts, received POs become bills, payments flow back), and EDI (X12 850 purchase orders in one click, GS1 SSCC-18 pallet labels out). You can also forward any supplier order confirmation to your workspace’s private email address and it becomes a draft purchase order — lines, shipping, tax and discount read for you. Squarespace, Clover, BigCommerce and Wix are live as well. Running your counter on something else? Tell us what to build first: hello@lottly.pro.
I run a café / brick-and-mortar too. Does Lottly handle menu items? +
Yes. Menu items and packaged products share the same ingredient records, so plate costs and jar costs both update live when a supplier price changes.
Does the free trial include everything? +
Yes — every feature on every plan, no card required. The only cap is scan intake (20 scans during the trial).
We use a co-packer — does Lottly still fit? +
Yes. Co-packer mode receives finished goods without drawing raw materials; traceability, invoices, certifications and the buyer portal work identically. Switch modes anytime — nothing is deleted.
Who sees my numbers? +
Buyers see substance — certifications, documents, recall-drill proof, your catalog — never your costs, margins, customer list, or your retail-ready score. Formulations can be locked to owners even inside your own team.
Do you support EDI? +
Yes — without middleware. A distributor’s purchase order arrives as an 850 file and Lottly reads it into a sales order, matched by GTIN; your invoice goes back as an 810 with the lot code on every line, and pallets carry SSCC-18 labels their dock scans. No EDI network subscription required.
How is Lottly so much less expensive than MRP platforms? +
Those platforms are built and priced for mid-size manufacturers. Lottly is purpose-built for emerging brands — the features you need now, integrated end-to-end, without the modules, seats and setup fees you don’t.
Make it. Track it. Prove it.
Set up in an afternoon — your first recipe, your first lot, your first proof.
