"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 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.
"I run an insurance restoration company and we keep about $30,000 in supplies on average. This helps us manage, order, and protect our inventory. We use three people to manage this process and it saves me about 20% of the value each year. "
Jay Van Deusen

Michael S.
"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."
