Lot Tracking & Serialization
Track lots and serial numbers from receipt through production to the shipped order. Tie every part to the exact materials it came from, with certifications and heat numbers one click away.
From raw material to shipped serial number
Tie every component to the exact vendor it came from, with certifications and lot numbers one click away.
- Track lots from receipt through production, with material certifications and heat numbers attached to each one.
- Consume from specific lots on the job, so every finished part traces back to the exact material that went into it.
- Serial-level part tracking with full genealogy answer which lots, which operations, and which order in one manufacturing software system.
The whole story of how a part was made, in one graph
Open any part and see everything that touched it as one connected view.
- Trace a finished part back through every step of its life: the PO the raw material came in on, the lot it was received into, the operations and outside processing it went through, and the order it shipped against.
- Walk the genealogy graph in either direction. Start from a supplier lot and find every part and shipment it ended up in, or start from a returned part and find the material and operations behind it.
- When a defect surfaces, scope the impact in minutes: see exactly which lots, jobs, and shipped orders are affected.
Track each part as tightly as it deserves
Set the tracking level per part, and the system enforces it everywhere that part moves.
- Choose traceability per part: quantity only, lot-tracked, or fully serialized. Receiving, production, and shipping each ask for exactly the level of detail that part requires.
- When a customer contract adds traceability requirements, tighten one part number without changing how the rest of your catalog flows.
- Keep production fast: operators are only prompted for lot or serial input on the parts where it actually matters.
Numbers assigned by the system, not the Sharpie
Traceability only works if it happens every time. StartProto assigns lot and serial numbers automatically, so the record exists without anyone having to remember to create it.
- Receiving material against a PO creates the lot automatically. Numbered, dated, and tied to the vendor and receipt, with material certifications and heat numbers attached.
- Serial numbers are generated automatically for serialized parts, and every serial records the lots it was built from so its origin travels with it.
- Consume from specific lots on the job, so each finished part traces back to the exact material that went into it.
- No blank fields, no duplicate numbers, capture happens as a side effect of work your team already does.
