Sortly customer reviews and testimonials.

We're proud to be an industry-leading solution trusted by thousands of businesses.

"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.

"Use it every day. Must have for small or medium sized stores."

D.G.

"I honestly love the fact that I am able to monitor the in and out of each medication and clinical item used. The exporting to excel is nice to use in regards to trending metrics in regards to intake and out."

Ron G.

"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.

"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.

"Has a good user interface. Easy to navigate app. Very useful for categorizing items."

C.M.

"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.

"[Sortly is] super. It just makes a huge difference on everything. It's probably one of the most helpful products that I use in the business on a day-to-day basis."

Christopher Boshears Design

"Sortly has allowed us to keep a close eye on our inventory even when it's spread out to different locations and remote workers who depend on having the correct count in order to sale."

Tammy F.

"This is by far the best Inventory Management Software that I've used. Not only is it simple but it's also powerfully customizable to set options just the way you desire. "

V.O.

"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.

"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."
