"This is by far the best Inventory Management Software that I've used. Not only is it simple but it's also powerfully customizable to set options just the way you desire. "
V.O.
"We need to maintain about 200 items of inventory which need to get ordered and re-ordered weekly. Sortly cuts out the excuses for items not getting monitored and ordered. Very simple and intuitive to use."
S.W.
"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.
"Sortly has become an indispensable tool at Brothers Fix, empowering us to streamline operations [in our warehouse] daily."
Edward G.
"This works great for keeping track of my truck inventory."

Kristen B.
"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
"It is very easy to use. It is at our fingertips and also available on the computer for my assistant to be able to manage our inventory for our uniforms and equipment. We are able to assign the equipment to each individual and know what is with whom."
Elizabeth S.
"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.
"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.
"Very easy to use. Added items is very easy. I like the notification alert for low inventory."
Nancy R.
"It is really easy to keep track of the items we have in our warehouse. I like how it also keeps track of the history, so it makes it really for us to see a date and time an items level decreased or increased. I also really like how easy it is to use, we were able to easily get multiple people on board to understand how it works."
