The Best School Inventory Management System.
Your teachers and administrators should be focusing on educating—not searching for school supplies or looking for missing laptops. With Sortly’s inventory software, you can:
Visualize exactly what’s in each classroom, closet, or storage room.
Never run out of essential school supplies again.
Track everything from software licenses to first aid kids, even as they change hands.
See all your school supplies and equipment on your Sortly dashboard.
Sortly’s robust, visual school inventory management software makes it easy to know what supplies and equipment you have on hand and their exact location.
Use Sortly on your phone, tablet, or computer—from anywhere, anytime.
Upload high-resolution photos for everything from protractors to prom decorations.
Create custom fields to track details such as quantity, location, and condition.
Get notified the second you’re running on printer ink or poster board.
You’ve got lessons to plan and papers to grade—and no time to spare. With Sortly, it’s easy to keep tabs on everything from graphing paper to gameday banners, so you’ll never run out of anything again.
Set inventory minimums for every item in your inventory.
Get low stock alerts and reminders long before it’s too late.
Reduce human error by phasing out eye-dizzying spreadsheets and handwritten lists.
Keep an eye on pricy equipment and supplies as they move from classroom to classroom.

"This app is exactly what I was looking for and more. I'm organizing our entire home for the purpose of eventually moving out of state, and am packing things up as I go. Several times now I've needed something that I already packed. All I had to do was type it into the app and was told exactly what box I had the needed item in. Very impressive."
