Sortly customer reviews and testimonials.
We're proud to be an industry-leading solution trusted by thousands of businesses.
"Sortly has been essential in our establishment. It has given us the ability to quickly visualize the large facilities we work in with the help of folders and subfolders. We can review all inventory folders and subfolders, which equates to the entire building and the dozens of ooms within it. Once we clear out, we can check Sortly to see all equipment within that building and remove that equipment."
Donnie B.
"I run an insurance restoration company and we keep about $30,000 in supplies on average. This helps us manage, order, and protect our inventory. We use three people to manage this process and it saves me about 20% of the value each year. "
Jay Van Deusen
"Ours is a very quick, fast-paced environment and Sortly has been able to help us keep track of all our different pieces, whether it be furniture or signage. For us to be able to keep all of those things moving, we needed software to help us more clearly track those items, and Sortly has been a really great place for us to do that. It's been easy for us to train on."
Better Beans Branding
"A great product for any business big or small. I like how it notifies you about low item quantities and how you can input prices and it will give you total doable figures. The app is useful if I want to give a customer a quick “ball park” figure on a job and when it can be done, as I know what [inventory I have] and how much is in stock."
Matthew M, Construction Technician
"Has a good user interface. Easy to navigate app. Very useful for categorizing items."
C.M.
"It is really easy to keep track of the items we have in our warehouse. I like how it also keeps track of the history, so it makes it really for us to see a date and time an items level decreased or increased. I also really like how easy it is to use, we were able to easily get multiple people on board to understand how it works."
Celina M.
"Pictures say it all. Every item has a picture so they are very easily identifiable. The ability to use Sortly on all mobile devices is perfect for what we do. It's the best app on the market for inventory. "
Dusty S.
"I've been a customer since [Sortly's] first year. They have kept up a clean responsive product that has also evolved as my company has. I can't imagine running my inventory on a clunkier or messier system. It's easy to use and integrates well in my business. QR codes are a game changer and helps keep me away from messy, tedious spreadsheets. Their portal for upvoting and requesting features with progress on if they are considering or implementing them is fantastic, as they actually do implement those changes."
Tim T.
"This has changed my job as manager of Inventory for an office space! It is so much easier to get things sorted when they can be counted in a flash, instead of having to use an excel spreadsheet."
Lisa D.
"With Sortly, we have been able to quickly and efficiently add our inventory. We love that notifications can be sent to individuals when inventory is running low on a particular item."
Robin R.
"The ability to define our own unit of measurement is so nice. It's incredible because [our measurements] can be very vague; if it's a box of boxes, it's very complicated. With Sortly, we can specify exactly what it is."
Marcon
"This works great for keeping track of my truck inventory."
