Crystal D.

"Use it every day. Must have for small or medium sized stores."

D.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.

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

Faith G.

"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 searched through several inventory software programs and none were designed with the user in mind like Sortly. The program and application are fast and intuitive!"

Ben W.

"It has been wonderful and made my work life so much easier. I'd recommend to anyone or company. Keep up the great work Sortly team!"

Jason J.

"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.

"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.

"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."

Celina M.

"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!"
