"[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

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

"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.

"We have been able to maintain a much tighter control on our inventory. Great product!"

Will G.

"This app is way better than five stars — deserves 10 stars."

Faith G.

Ron G.

"It has been wonderful and made my work life so much easier. I'd recommend to anyone or company. Keep up the great work Sortly team!"

Jason J.

"I’m not the smartest computer guy, but I must say that Sortly is quite user friendly thus far. It’s allowing our company to do even more than we thought."

T.D.

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

F.T.

"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.

"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

"Overall, I'm extremely happy with the software. Its created efficiency within my business and has saved me a lot of money on part runs for items that we already had in inventory. I would highly recommend this software."
