"[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
"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
"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.
"Sortly has revolutionized our inventory tracking... Adding Sortly was one of the greatest things that we’ve done in my department to create efficiency."
Scott M.
"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
"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
"So far, I've really enjoyed sortly, its a good basic inventory management system at a reasonable price for a small buisness."
Crystal D.
"Sortly has been essential in our establishment. It has given us the ability to quickly visualize the large facilities we work in with the help of folders and subfolders. We can review all inventory folders and subfolders, which equates to the entire building and the dozens of ooms within it. Once we clear out, we can check Sortly to see all equipment within that building and remove that equipment."
Donnie B.
"We have been able to maintain a much tighter control on our inventory. Great product!"
Will 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.
"This works great for keeping track of my truck inventory."
F.T.
"Sortly has become an indispensable tool at Brothers Fix, empowering us to streamline operations [in our warehouse] daily."
