Sortly customer reviews and testimonials.
We're proud to be an industry-leading solution trusted by thousands of businesses.
"Sortly [has been] a game changer. I am really happy with the product. It's very easy for me to do stock takes and give access to my clients to their respective bins. I found the onboarding process on Sortly seamless. It was very easy for me to start putting in my warehouse stock into Sortly in a matter of days. Sortly worked as we wanted it to instead of the other way around."
Shaffi M.
"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."

"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 downloaded this app and within two hours, our intern had the entire inventory organized, with pictures!"
Bandisahn
"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."
Jamez D.
"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 truck #2 or sitting back in the shop inventory. Couldn’t be easier to use."
Tim
"This app took our business to a new level. We could never keep all of our inventory straight without it. Extremely easy to use."
Josh
"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."

"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.
"As a manufacturer, we use Sortly to keep track of all the parts that come and go from our warehouse and back once we receive a completed product. Our team has a really easy time scanning barcodes to help us keep track of all our parts. Sortly has become part of our daily operation."
Michael S.
"This app is way better than five stars — deserves 10 stars."
Faith G.
"This works great for keeping track of my truck inventory."
F.T.
"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."
