"Sortly has added hours and confidence to my life! As a sole proprietor with an overwhelming amount of inventory, that comes and goes in the blink of an eye, I needed a system that could keep up. Sortly excels at keeping it all organized. I am very happy with it!"
Sortly Customer
"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, Electrical Contractor
"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.
"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
"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.
"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 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
"Use it every day. Must have for small or medium sized stores."
D.G.
"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.
"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.
"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
"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."
