Sortly customer reviews and testimonials.
We're proud to be an industry-leading solution trusted by thousands of businesses.
"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.
"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.
"I run an insurance restoration company and we keep about $30,000 in supplies on average. This helps us manage, order, and protect our inventory. We use three people to manage this process and it saves me about 20% of the value each year. "
Jay Van Deusen
"This has changed my job as manager of Inventory for an office space! It is so much easier to get things sorted when they can be counted in a flash, instead of having to use an excel spreadsheet."
Lisa D.
"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."

"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!"
Bandisahn
"Sortly [has been] a game changer. I am really happy with the product. It's very easy for me to do stock takes and give access to my clients to their respective bins. I found the onboarding process on Sortly seamless. It was very easy for me to start putting in my warehouse stock into Sortly in a matter of days. Sortly worked as we wanted it to instead of the other way around."
Shaffi M.
"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.
"Sortly has become an indispensable tool at Brothers Fix, empowering us to streamline operations [in our warehouse] daily."
Edward G.
"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.
"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."
