Sortly customer reviews and testimonials.
We're proud to be an industry-leading solution trusted by thousands of businesses.
"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.
"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.
"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."

"This app is way better than five stars — deserves 10 stars."
Faith G.
"It is very easy to use. It is at our fingertips and also available on the computer for my assistant to be able to manage our inventory for our uniforms and equipment. We are able to assign the equipment to each individual and know what is with whom."
Elizabeth S.
"Overall, it's been a delight. It's easily customized, consistently functions well, allows us to run the reports we need for inventory tracking and auditing, and it's easy to use, so it's easy to onboard new volunteers who join our Inventory Team."
Kristen B.
"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
"I searched through several inventory software programs and none were designed with the user in mind like Sortly. The program and application are fast and intuitive!"
Ben W.
"Has a good user interface. Easy to navigate app. Very useful for categorizing items."
C.M.
"Sortly makes hard finds easy finds. Apart from a few things I had in my work shed, I had no idea of what stock I had. Sortly helped me get my electrical gear in order. After inputting my stock into Sortly, I now have $20K of stock I didn't know I had."
Matthew T, Electrical Contractor
"Sortly has made managing our inventory fun! There, I said it. All of our items in one place. Categorized in a way that makes sense to us. With photos so there is no confusion by only having product numbers that no one really knows. We see the value, the quantity, the item type, the variants, etc. all in one place. And, it's mobile! Our inventory used to be a guessing game before Sortly. Now, we always have confidence in what products are in stock."
Heather P.
"We love that we are able to place the valuations of items and thorough descriptions and photos of each item for the purpose of identification. Additionally, the information downloads into a very nice and easy to understand spreadsheet for reporting purposes."
