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

"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'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.
"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.
"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."
James K.
"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
"Very easy to use. Added items is very easy. I like the notification alert for low inventory."
Nancy R.
"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.
"So far, I've really enjoyed sortly, its a good basic inventory management system at a reasonable price for a small buisness."
