Sortly customer reviews and testimonials.

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

"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.

"So far, I've really enjoyed sortly, its a good basic inventory management system at a reasonable price for a small buisness."

Crystal D.

"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.

"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.

"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

"[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

"This works great for keeping track of my truck inventory."

F.T.

"With Sortly, we have been able to quickly and efficiently add our inventory. We love that notifications can be sent to individuals when inventory is running low on a particular item."

Robin R.

"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.

"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."

Better Beans Branding

"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.

"Mobile access allows us to input changes in the warehouse, rather than write it all down and input it later. This saves not only time but paper as well."
