"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.
"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.
"This is the first time I’ve ever written a review for an app. I operate a commercial shipping container depot and rental fleet. I downloaded this app and within two hours, our intern had the entire inventory organized, with pictures!"

"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
"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."
Marcon
"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."
Cassandra R.
"The best thing to happen to our company! Sortly has flipped our productivity, especially when it comes to inventory. We used to keep inventory by pen and paper, which came with MULTIPLE errors. Those errors have been drastically cut back. It's completely improved our company's production and inventory management."
Timothy S.
"We have been able to maintain a much tighter control on our inventory. Great product!"
Will G.
