"[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
"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.
"Simple, yet loaded with features. Anyone can learn to use this system in a day, customer service listens to feedback and updates the app with better results. Overall great product and I recommend it."
J.J.
"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.
"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.
"I love that in a minute I can add a new person to the system and check items out to them so easily. Knowing where our open house signs and lockboxes are at all the time is very helpful!"
C.M.
"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
"The ability to define our own unit of measurement is so nice. It's incredible because [our measurements] can be very vague; if it's a box of boxes, it's very complicated. With Sortly, we can specify exactly what it is."
