“Our experience with Sortly has been overwhelmingly positive. As our business grows, so does our use of Sortly. We love having an up-to-date and easy-to-use inventory control system that helps us keep costs down. Sortly clearly takes user feedback very seriously. We have seen many of our suggested changes implemented since we started using the program.”
“Great app and outstanding customer service. Sortly has been a game changer for my business. The app is extremely user-friendly, reliable, and makes organizing inventory simple. Their customer service is top-tier — Dara shared excellent tips, tricks, and guidance that helped me get even more out of the software. Five stars all the way. Highly recommend.”
“Literally so good I could not run my business without it. I own and operate a small scale automatic door installation and service company with a few vehicles. This app saves me time and money by letting me know if an item is on truck #1 or #2 or sitting back in the shop inventory. And it couldn’t be easier to use too. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs an inventory management system. Many years user/happy customer.”
“This is the first time I’ve ever written a review for an app. I operate a commercial shipping container depot and rental fleet. I looked all over for inventory software that was easy to use and didn’t have 300 extra features I don’t need getting in the way. I downloaded this app and within two hours, our intern had the entire inventory organized—with pictures! Possibly the best part is it creates QR labels for all your items so the driver can just scan and check out a box. Absolutely perfect. Wish I’d found this years ago.”
Sortly is so much better than inFlow.
