Robin R.
"[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
"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.
"Overall, it's been a delight. It's easily customized, consistently functions well, allows us to run the reports we need for inventory tracking and auditing, and it's easy to use, so it's easy to onboard new volunteers who join our Inventory Team."
Kristen B.
"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 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.
"The ability to define our own unit of measurement is so nice. It's incredible because [our measurements] can be very vague; if it's a box of boxes, it's very complicated. With Sortly, we can specify exactly what it is."
Marcon
"This works great for keeping track of my truck inventory."
F.T.
"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!"
