Sortly customer reviews and testimonials.
We're proud to be an industry-leading solution trusted by thousands of businesses.
"Sortly has become an indispensable tool at Brothers Fix, empowering us to streamline operations [in our warehouse] daily."
Edward G.
"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.
"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
"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.
"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
"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.
"Simple, yet loaded with features. Anyone can learn to use this system in a day, customer service listens to feedback and updates the app with better results. Overall great product and I recommend it."
J.J.
"This app took our business to a new level. We could never keep all of our inventory straight without it. Extremely easy to use."
Josh
"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.
"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.
"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.
