Everything, in one record.

Build each product’s formula at batch scale, or per unit when batch sizes change day to day — log 20, 30, 80 and Lottly multiplies everything. One click converts an existing recipe to per-unit.

Ingredients, packaging, and labor in one number, from live supplier prices. Change what you pay for flour and every margin moves with it.

Set estimated labor per unit on the recipe; record actual hours on any batch and the batch’s cost snapshot swaps the estimate for the truth.

Direct price / SRP, your distributor price, and the retailer’s cost via distributor — so your margin, your distributor’s margin, and the retailer’s margin on the sell sheet are all real numbers.

Bring formulations in from a spreadsheet, a PDF, or a photo of a recipe card. Lottly reads it and builds the recipe for you to confirm.

Organic, gluten-free, vegan, kosher and more ride the recipe onto labels, trace pages and sell sheets. Item codes (SKUs) generate cleanly — variations never collide.

Ingredients list themselves by weight, with label names and sub-ingredients ("dried cranberries (cranberries, sunflower oil, apple juice concentrate)") handled properly.

Copy a recipe to cost a variation before you commit to it.

Give a recipe a max units per batch, and bigger runs split into honest, separately-lotted machine loads. (Maker includes 3 recipes; Growth and up, unlimited.)

Ingredients, packaging (with sustainability claims buyers see), and resale products you buy finished and sell as-is — all lot-tracked.

Photograph a delivery bill, an invoice, or the lot code printed on a bag — handwriting included. Lottly reads it, you review, stock and costs and supplier lots enter themselves. The original image stays in your vault. (Trial includes 20 scans.)

Your "GF Organic Oats" arrives on invoices as "Oats - Rolled - GF - Organic." Teach a material its other names and scans match instead of duplicating; accidental duplicates merge cleanly, history intact.

Primary, secondary, tertiary suppliers per material, each with their price and pack size. Reordering drafts to your primary at their price, rounded to whole packs.

Every logged delivery updates what that supplier charges you. Margins follow reality, not last quarter’s spreadsheet.

Set the floor; Lottly flags the approach and shows how many packs to buy.

"Reorder all low stock" drafts POs grouped by supplier; or draft one by hand. Every draft stays editable until it’s sent. Supplier emails are written for you, PO PDF attached; "Order online" opens the supplier’s portal and files the record.

Mark a PO received and stock updates at real costs — and the bill posts to QuickBooks or Xero automatically.

Joining with a freezer full of finished product and shelves of counted materials? Count them in without fake transactions — no phantom ingredient draw, honest best-before dates.

Pick the recipe, confirm units, done: lot number assigned, ingredients deducted oldest-lot-first, cost snapshotted, best-before set from shelf life.

Your prefix, year/month, sequence — human-readable and unique.

Every batch records exactly which supplier lots went in — supplier name, bag lot code, origin. Rename materials or switch suppliers later; the record stays true to that day.

Frozen, refrigerated, shelf-stable — each with its own shelf life. Move a batch out of the freezer and the best-before rebases to the thaw.

The day’s make list as paper for the bench: scaled formulation, weigh-off checkboxes, prepared-by/checked-by signatures. Plans persist — reprint, edit, or delete them.

Planned 100, got 98? Adjust with a reason that prints on the record. Test batch by mistake? Void it — ingredients return to their lots, with guardrails (owner-only, typed confirmation, shipped lots refuse).

If a co-packer makes your product, receive finished goods with full lot records and no raw-material draw. Lottly asks how you produce at signup and adapts.

Type a lot code: what went in, when it was made, and every customer who received it. Run a timestamped mock drill quarterly — it takes seconds and becomes proof on your buyer profile.

Each lot’s label QR opens a live trace page. You choose what it reveals: basics only, ingredient names, or full provenance. Allergens and recall status always show.

The one-page production record auditors ask for, per batch, PDF.

The traceability spreadsheet the FDA expects within 24 hours, in one click. And your records are EDI-ready — structured so retailer and distributor EDI onboarding starts from clean data, not a scramble.

Log a customer order (or let Shopify deliver it) and the forecast does the production meeting’s math: ordered minus on hand, batches to make, materials check. Shortfalls land in draft POs.

Online orders arrive as sales orders and drive the forecast; cancellations pull themselves back out. And Lottly pushes real finished-goods counts into the store, so it can’t oversell what isn’t made. POS register sales and resale products import correctly too.

Creating an invoice picks the lot (oldest best-before first), writes the shipment record, and syncs to QuickBooks or Xero with the lot code in the line — accounting and traceability in one motion. Tier price chips, discounts, due dates, extra lines (shipping), paid/overdue tracking.

"Invoice →" on any order drafts the invoice: customer, products, quantities carried over; you confirm the lot and price. Multi-line orders walk through line by line.

A pick list draws the right lots FEFO, live rates come back from Shippo or ShipStation, the label prints, and the tracking number pushes back to Shopify so the customer gets their email without you opening a second tab. Shipping by pallet instead — LTL quotes and a bill of lading come out of the same order. And when there is nothing to invoice, because Shopify already took the money or it is a market supply run, mark it fulfilled: stock moves with full lot trace and nothing is double-counted in your books.

Pull customers from QuickBooks or Xero in one click, so every picker uses the exact names your books use and the sync never creates duplicates.

The dashboard shows what’s invoiced and unpaid, what’s overdue, what was made and invoiced this week versus last, and your stock value — the pulse, at a glance.

Give it one jar and it hands you the whole truck — recommended case sizes from your unit dimensions, pallet layouts on a standard 48 × 40, drawn so your co-packer and your box supplier are looking at the same picture.

Built like any recipe, costed from the same live ingredient prices.

Plate cost (ingredients + labor) against menu price, every item, thinnest margins first — with the food-cost rule of thumb right there. Deliveries reprice ingredients; margins stay current on their own.

Map each Shopify POS product once: packaged products drive the forecast, menu items import as sales records, resale items deduct their stock. Register orders never clutter your open orders.

A week or month calendar; click a day to schedule, click a shift to edit it. Your team doesn’t need Lottly accounts.

Park a tablet by the door. Your crew taps their name and clocks in against a rotating token — no accounts, no app, no passwords on the floor. Hours land straight in the payroll journal, and the schedule stops living on a whiteboard.

Hand payroll a clean journal at the end of every pay period, as a CSV. Hours, breaks and gross pay per person, reconciled before they ever reach your accountant.

Enter start and finish; paid hours compute using your state’s meal- and rest-break rules — Oregon, California, Washington and every state that mandates them; states that don’t, count hours exactly as entered. A helper, not legal advice — and always overridable.

Pick the pay period: hours and gross pay per person, ready for payroll, exported as CSV.

Record real hours on a batch and its cost snapshot uses them — margins tell the truth about what a loaf actually costs.

Lock recipe formulations to owners and admins, enforced in the database — staff keep logging batches without reading the formula.

Invoicing, purchasing, recipes, shifts and wages, set person by person — four of them enforced in the database, not merely hidden in the interface. A manager can run the day without ever seeing what anyone earns.

Pay rates are their own permission. Whoever builds the schedule does not have to be whoever knows the payroll.

Suspend a seat when the season ends and their history stays intact — shifts, batches, signatures. Bring them back next summer with one click, and no seat is billed in between.

Hand ownership to a co-founder or a new operator without rebuilding the workspace. Admins run day-to-day; owners hold the keys.

Chat, threads and kudos inside the workspace — the shift note, the recipe question and the well-done all sit next to the work they are about, and stay searchable long after a group text would be gone.

1 user on Maker, 2 users and 2 locations on Growth, unlimited on Retail-ready.

Organic, gluten-free, Non-GMO, Kosher, B Corp and more — plus custom certifications for your county health department or a buyer’s private standard. Live requirements fill themselves from your operating records; you add only the documents that are truly yours.

Give a certifier scoped, expiring, read-only access to one application. Every view is logged.

One link gives a buyer your live vendor profile: catalog with photos, shelf lives and margins, certifications, compliance documents, latest recall drill. No account on their side; you see when they look.

A one-page PDF with your logo, product photos, claims, case pricing, retailer margin and the Lottly Verified badge — or a self-contained web page to email.

Not a claim — live evidence. Current certification status, timestamped drills, complete lot traceability. When the records slip, the badge does too.

Nutrition Facts and ingredient statements generated from the recipe, evaporation handled correctly, exported as PNG/JPEG/SVG for your label printer. Change the recipe; the panel updates.

Production, sales, purchasing, stock and compliance on one page, any month, PDF.

Buyers never see costs, customer lists, or your other buyers. Your internal retail-ready score is yours alone — buyers see the substance, never the number.

Ask it for something new and it works from what you actually have — your ingredients, your equipment, your allergen profile, your channels. Not generic recipes off the internet: concepts you could make on Tuesday.

Move a concept from spark to shortlist to tabled, with notes and costs attached as they firm up. Everyone sees what is being considered, so ideas stop dying in someone’s notebook.

Promote a concept and it becomes a working recipe — costed, allergen-checked, ready for a trial batch and a real lot number. The day you commit, nothing gets retyped.

Wholesale, food service, marketplaces, your own café, online, markets, catering, chef work, co-packing — tick what applies; Lottly steers emphasis without ever splitting your records into separate systems.

Make everything in-house, use a co-packer, or both. Switch anytime; nothing is deleted — the same records are reframed.

Answers from your own records and guides setup, any hour. Ask "what’s my margin if mango goes up 10%?" and get your number, not a paragraph.

Full app on desktop; on your phone it’s a companion — scan deliveries, check stock, trace a lot from the walk-in. Installable, no app store.

Connected to how you actually sell — no retyping, no exports, no double entry. Shopify both ways (online orders and POS in, finished-goods counts back). Square imports every market day overnight as one order at real takings. WooCommerce and Faire arrive ready to pick, at what buyers actually paid. Xero and QuickBooks sync invoices with item codes and your chosen sales accounts; received POs become bills and payments flow back. EDI imports X12 850s in one click and prints GS1 SSCC-18 pallet labels. Toast, Clover, PayPal Zettle and SumUp cover the counter and the market stall. Shippo and ShipStation return live shipping rates and print labels. Squarespace, BigCommerce and Wix are live too, and email intake turns any forwarded supplier confirmation into a draft PO — sixteen integrations, and counting.

Export everything as CSV anytime. Records retained to meet FDA two-year requirements. Encrypted in transit and at rest; scoped, expiring share links; administrative actions and shared-document views logged.
