Sortly

Avantages

cloud based. easy to set up and navigate. app based and computer.

Inconvénients

like to have product costs, and product retail price fields
like to poll data at prior dates on my level plan - reports - for inventory reports
nice if it connected to quick books

Avantages

We've been using Sortly for our inventory management, and it has been a game changer for our team. One of the biggest pros is the user-friendly website and app, which make it incredibly easy to quickly search for any item in our inventory. While it did take some time to find the best process for managing each individual item, once we got the hang of it, we found the system to be intuitive and efficient. Sortly has truly streamlined our inventory management process and we highly recommend it to others looking for a reliable solution.

Inconvénients

The photo quality when saving from the app can be an issue. Sometimes, it crops photos weirdly or blurs the items, which can be a bit frustrating. Despite this, Sortly has truly streamlined our inventory management process, and we highly recommend it to others looking for a reliable solution.

Avantages

The ease in which I can add and delete stock on a daily basis and monitor the stock levels at each of our four sites.

Inconvénients

I find it a long process to work out how much stock has been added and taken away in a month. I would like to be able to check what the stock level was on the 1st of each month and then what they were on the last day of each month without having to run through all of the history or transactions.

Avantages

This is an easy to use platform that is fast to implement and adopt with employees that are not used to using inventory management platforms/ERPs. It is limited in financial reporting abilities as it is not a fully fledged ERP, but it makes transitioning to a proper ERP easy.

Inconvénients

Difficult to manage inventory purchased at different costs/ perform FIFO.

Avantages

Convenience and software organization. We are able to have folders and categorize each department's inventory very effectively.

Inconvénients

We would like to implement reminders and alerts for our team to ensure they update daily inventory. Changing quantity amounts for items can take more time than expected. A quick search for the item and a quick amount of edits would be best. We are not able to tie the inventory to our invoicing system.

Avantages

Easy to use. Easy to update. Live inventory helps our business platform.

Inconvénients

I would like to be able to click on an item in the category and then see only that item shown. For example if we have 10 colors of an item they all appear in all sizes. It would be nice if i could click on the color code and then only that color would show

Avantages

It's straightforward to use and explain to others on how to use it.

Inconvénients

The cost, as our organization is a non-profit organization. A discount would be nice. :)

Pourquoi passer à Sortly

Avantages

Makes tracking inventory easy. The API is poor if you're looking to build on top of it.

Inconvénients

Slow development time, doubled price of enterprise license.

Avantages

I like how easy it is to use from a team perspective but also from a managerial and reporting perspective.

Inconvénients

There was quite a price increase into the 2nd year which I hadn't expected.

Avantages

The ease of use on both mobile and desktop.

Inconvénients

The new update really slows down our workflow. Getting rid of the tags and notes on the mobile view is a huge step backward

Avantages

Stock organization and reporting service. Being able to use on multiple devices.

Inconvénients

Cost to increase folders and items within the app.

Avantages

Works seamlessly across multiple users and has the ability to print labels directly from the app.

Inconvénients

Unfortunately this product doesn’t offer nearly enough cross-platform communication (Sellbrite, Shopify, etc).

Avantages

I am able to track assets and keep maintenance records both on my desktop and my mobile phone app.

Inconvénients

Ease of establishing tabs and folders and movement of folders/changes.

Avantages

Sortly has helped our business by keeping our inventory organized all in one App. It's user friendly and has all the functions that one would need to enter and locate any tools or equipment that we have out in the field. I have enjoyed using this App since day one.

Inconvénients

I at this point we have no complaints on how the App is used. It fits our business needs and has brought us a long way from keeping up with things by paper.

Avantages

I have a wide range of inventory & supplies that used to be "out of sight, out of mind" even thought it was organized. Now I can check to see if I have things before I order, and keep notes on where the items are located so I can easily find them without overordering constantly.

Inconvénients

I wish there was a way you could go back in and add different variants after the fact. Often I will purchase a supply that is one measurement and having to add them all individually and make sure they remain grouped together can be tricky.

Avantages

It's easy to use and I like that there is an accompanying phone app.

Inconvénients

I wish it came with a barcode scanner. It would make loading and dispensing items much easier.

Avantages

We have several dorms, several units in the dorms, and dozens of rooms in the units. This helps us locate where the items are kept and the quantity of items we have stored. When an item's moved we're able to record it in real time using the mobile app. It allows us to take photos of items.

Inconvénients

The location feature is not easy to set up. We've had to create tags and it is a very lengthy process.

Avantages

It organizes our products by item and allows for barcoding/QR coding to quickly adjust inventory levels

Inconvénients

It does not have a way of integrating with Bright Pearl - our Order Management System

Avantages

Sortly is an economical solution to meet our inventory tracking and management needs.

Inconvénients

If I have to pick something that I like least about Sortyly, it would be the setup. It is necessary, but does take a lot of time.

Inconvénients

It's restriction on using barcode printers

nothing I found yet. this program requires that you do your due diligence and input your data consistently

Avantages

EASE OF USE, AESTHETICS, PRICE, EASE OF ADDING ON USERS, DETAILED INVENTORY OPTIONS, EASE OF CREATING FOLDERS AND MOVING ITEMS AROUND.

Inconvénients

MAYBE COULD USE A BETTER PRICE PER USER. ALSO AS I MENTIONED, COULD USE AN ORDER REQUEST FUNCTION FOR MY WORKERS TO REQUEST ITEMS BE ORDERED.

Avantages

For the most part, Sortly is an affordable and easy way to manage my small business retail and online inventory. We interface with Wordpress, which took some work to make happen, but overall, we are satisfied.

Inconvénients

Sortly is a bit expensive for us, as we pay around $100+ per month and we are lucky to sell that much online in any given month. There are few options out there for our situation, but Sortly has been a workable option and very easy to learn.

Avantages

Easy to use, low price, flexible set up, and immediate sync online and through the iOs app.

Inconvénients

There are no negatives about Sortly, it is a great platform and my first choice.

Avantages

It is easy to find items with the Search bar, and the And/or has been very important when narrowing down search parameters.

Inconvénients

pricing for each vender isn't in effect yet. It is a lot easier for Companies to be able to price compare when you can assimilate the price for certain items with the vendors and then compare prices across the vendor lists.

Avantages

it varies its way better than what we had

Inconvénients

i would love it if it auto linked part numbers and information via web from vendor to the system

Avantages

One of the standout features is the detailed reporting, which helps us analyze usage trends and optimize our ordering process.

Inconvénients

Nothing so far! It’s perfect for our office!

Avantages

It is perfect with keeping track of the hundreds of meds and supplies that we log!! The notifications are also very helpful! I have a lot going on and the notifications I get when the stock hits the minimum level save me!

Inconvénients

I have had absolutely no issues with Sortly!

Avantages

Very very intuitive software that takes very little time to bring people up to speed on the every day use. All of the basic features and functions you need to help in Inventory Management and Control are there, as well as the reporting features that you need.

Inconvénients

Could use more customizability in terms of what fields are the primary fields, as well as additional customizability for the formats of the actual labels. Would be great to have additional size options, and ability to add and manipulate the actual layout of labels. As well as having other options for barcode labels.

Avantages

The ease of Setup,Implementation,Customer service is fantastic and knowledgable.
The reports you can run are a life saver as well in my line of work.....

Inconvénients

There is nothing i can think of that i dont like about this company or the service they provide 10 out of 10 in my book.

Avantages

The ability to have access to many departments.

Inconvénients

It is not very accurate. It loses info. You can't search info.

Avantages

We liked everything from being able to keep track of inventory and ones you find the right POS provider you can just import all your items with the barcodes and have it fully set up in just 2 minutes!

You need to pay more on top for you to have a scanner

Avantages

I have been very pleased with the operation of Sortly since its implementation in our department. I like the customizability of Sortly the most.

Inconvénients

I can't think of anything that I dislike about Sortly at this time.

Pourquoi passer à Sortly

Avantages

The ease of using it, it is not overly complicated and can train on it very easily.

Inconvénients

App can be clunky at times, works better more time than not

Avantages

The scanning feature is nice; QR codes are easy to scan and print. Data is downloadable to Excel files.

Inconvénients

QR code labels are deleted when the quantity reaches zero; these must be recreated and reprinted each time. The basic version does not allow the administrator to prevent users from deleting inventory items. This occurs a lot, which causes me to add the item and amount back and recreate and print the QR code.

Avantages

We like that it was considerably less expensive that the other inventory programs that we have used and it is somewhat more user friendly.

Inconvénients

We have had trouble with the search functions.

Avantages

Simple interface. It is very easy to use and modify the setting.

Inconvénients

The annual subscription cost is high. I could have used an app with less than half the cost.

easy to use and track our inventory also to track cost of parts.

Inconvénients

need to work on search part sometimes it does not recognize search words.

Avantages

Ease of access between phones, pc and tablets

Inconvénients

Great resource if everyone would use it! In house problem!

Avantages

Ease of use
Real time data for users and us

Inconvénients

The flow of folders and files and items

Avantages

Ease of use: we have a number of users at different levels and across different countries inside the company that need to update and interpret stock levels daily. The simplicity of the platform has enabled us to achieve smooth coordination between the users.

Inconvénients

The speed of being able to update stock levels up or down requires multiple clicks

Avantages

The ability to track my inventory and my staff to add and deduct things

Inconvénients

it can be difficult to navigate and the lack of locations for materials

Avantages

We love the convenience of Sortly. Being able to track our inventory that is constantly going out and coming in. It saves all of our products including photos for ease of updating. We are able to give accurate costs of what is in our warehouse at any given time.

Inconvénients

We havent been able to implement the barcoding system. I beleive there was an issue integrating with our main management system.
