Sortly

Avantages

Easy to use. Items are easy to add. We have office staff now using to update office supplies

Inconvénients

Sometimes hard to do a search for items.

Avantages

MAKES MOVING INVENTORY LESS OF A CHORE AS WELL AS KEEPING UP WITH REAL TIME TRANSACTIONS TAKING MOST HAND WRITTEN WORK OUT OF THE MIX

Inconvénients

MAKING IT WORK MORE FOR OUR NEEDS NOT WHATS PRE-LOADED

Avantages

can be access by computers and mobile phone, interface easy to understand

Inconvénients

To print out the QR code labelling sticker, the size dont have much option

Avantages

It’s very easy to use and set up. For a small business, it is exactly what I need to keep track of item movements.

Inconvénients

SKU changes are not reflected across different locations / folders. For example, if I update the title or pics, I have to do the changes in each of the location / folder

Avantages

Sortly is great for inventory management, especially knowing the value of supplies that are still in stock.

Inconvénients

I wish there was more reporting on the ins and outs of supplies.

Avantages

Sensibly intuitive. All the features without the complications.

Inconvénients

I really can't think of any. We don't use every single feature available but what we do use is simple and effective.

Avantages

Really easy to navigate in. You can create custom tags, categories, and folders to organize inventory in a way that fits your specific needs.

Inconvénients

Missing features. changes made on one device take a little time to reflect across others.

Avantages

Easy to use and simple to add or remove items from inventory

Inconvénients

It costs extra to use a barcode scanner. Would make things easier to use a scanner in the inventory room but its not worth the added increase to yearly fee. We just leave an old cell phone in the room instead. Sometimes search doesn't work well or an item scanned says not found but it's rare

Avantages

Sortly lets us have a mobile option for adding or replacing items into our load outs for events at sea. We have to have a pretty well managed inventory of items due to US Customs and cruise ship requirements for loading and unloading. Sortly made this easier.

Inconvénients

The thing I liked least about sortly was the cost and the limit per seat for that cost. Some of the barcode scanning as well can be hit or miss but I think that is understandable considering the amount of barcodes.

Avantages

I like the ease of use for Sortly. None of my employees have trouble navigating the website.

Inconvénients

The least thing I enjoy about Sortly would be the cost. While yes it can be a bit pricey it is well worth it though.

Avantages

It was so easy to set up the different folders with each category and item and it's very easy to navigate.

Inconvénients

I have no complaints about Sortly, it's been great!

Avantages

Ease of setup and flexibility to make it fit our companies needs.

Inconvénients

The browser version does not update quickly enough. I've lost data due to this.

Avantages

easy to use, it helps organize inventory in a customizable way. Multiple ways to use sortly that meets the needs of your business.

Inconvénients

It can be a bit difficult to setup in the beginning and the learning curve for the product is difficult for those who are less tech savvy

Avantages

Ease of use, flexibility for inventory input

Inconvénients

Sortly has been working well for us so far.

Avantages

The ease of use. It's super easy to navigate for all ages.

Inconvénients

What I least like about Sortly would be the cost but I would pay it just to use this app.

Avantages

The ease of entering our products into Sortly was a big plus. We also link our vendors to the products so any users can quickly replace stock.

Inconvénients

We would love the ability to change units on products already entered into the system. When changing how we record usage from feet to inches or feet to yards, would be a big benefit to flexibility to the user.

Pourquoi passer à Sortly

Avantages

Sortly is super simple to navigate! You do not have a lot of experience with inventory systems to use this product.

Inconvénients

I feel like the report options could be better. I would like to be able to pull a report on the inventory that was used for the week or month.

Avantages

Easy to use, and learn how to use. Doesn't have to take much to learn how to navigate.

Inconvénients

Not easy to integrate to other sites for orders and status.

Avantages

We inventory EVERYTHING with Sortly and use it for ordering to stay ahead of our constant supply flow.

Inconvénients

I wish the minimum levels and low stock alerts worked a little differently. They currently flag when they are at the minimum number, but we do not order until we are below the minimum. Thus we have to play the game of making our minimum one less than our actual preferred inventory, and train our staff to wrap their heads around this concept.

Avantages

This system has helped us keep up to date inventory and helped us to manage ordering.

Inconvénients

nothing! The hardest part was getting ALL of our employees on board and using it regularly. This is the type of system than has to utilized by everyone to be effective.

Avantages

Sortly is very easy to use. The desktop and mobile versions are very intuitive and work great!

Some features are a little tricky to get the hang of.

bar codes are very useful. mobile use is critical

Good inventory tracking ability to follow inventory from arrival and warehousing to when taken to the field.

The ability to build a packing slip within the app thru drag and drop or click and add as a group to a preloaded packing slip

Pourquoi passer à Sortly

Avantages

The app was very easy to use for my business. I was able to locate every category in an organized matter.

Inconvénients

The only thing that I don’t love was that there was only a limited amount of people that could be on one account. I think you had to pay for more people, but it would’ve been a little more convenient if the app would allow at least 4/5 people to use one account.

Avantages

Sortly has been a great tool to keep track of our uniform inventory. It keep us on track and it is a very easy friendly tool.

Inconvénients

We think the purchasing order capability has room to improve. If it somehow can select items from an specific folder instead of all folders, it will be faster to add items to the purchase order.

Avantages

Sortly checks all the boxes for a good inventory management system. Its mobile app is great, the system allows you to assign and create barcodes to items. You can count stock easily.

Inconvénients

It is what you’d expect and nothing more. There are no graphs or useful analytic tools. They charge an insane amount for what it is and it goes up even more for multiple users. The website is not intuitive at times (can’t open products in a new tab, pressing the back button causes a slow page reload, etc). Customer support isn’t that helpful or flexible, they’re quite greedy at times and have locked features behind paywalls. It’s just a database to count items yet they charge thousands a year. But I’m still paying it so it must be worth it to us! Saying all this, I haven’t found a better alternative so I’m going to keep using and recommending them. I just wish they’d create interesting features, nothing new gets added ever it seems.

Avantages

Decent mobile interface, easy to search when you know what you’re looking for and tagging feature is very helpful.

Inconvénients

Photo quality is terrible. No spell check makes for long edits. No way to upload a mass edit update (unless that’s changed).

Avantages

Sortly is easy to use and to set up. Good support that is always responsive to questions. inventory is easy to move around as needed. Import process is very easy to use as well.

Inconvénients

We use thermostat serial numbers so it would be great if those could be put in some kind of alphabetical order when you are searching through a pick list. It does have limited number of items unless you pay for the Enterprise edition; that is fair but sometimes limited when you have alot of inventory over time.

Avantages

The ability to search quickly and find what information I need on the inventory we have in stock.

Inconvénients

At this time I havent found one thing that I dislike about Sortly.

Avantages

Easy to scan in items and print bar codes for the team to track inventory.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the reporting can be a little glitchy.

Avantages

I love that we can get a snapshot of our inventory at any given time. I also like the ease at which we can add new products and discontinue old ones.

Inconvénients

The clone feature is a little confusing, it sometimes overrides the original product.

Avantages

Ease of use, feature options, flexibility

Inconvénients

Not a dislike, but I have reported features I would like available and the Sortly team is quick to respond, explain why the feature is not available, appreciates the feedback and puts in on their 'list' of things to consider.

Avantages

Ease of uses for salesmen while on the road

Inconvénients

I think the reporting exporting to numbers could be cleaner

Avantages

The precision of the searches and the ability organize multiple projects.

Inconvénients

I have nothing bad to say about the Sortly software as of yet.

Avantages

Sortly is a highly customizable solution, effective for businesses with one-of-a-kind inventory requiring custom fields and tracking. Set-up was seamless and easy. Maintaining inventory with the mobile/online accessible versions means I can access the tool wherever I am. I’m a very happy customer with no plans to leave.

Inconvénients

I wish Sortly integrated inventory management with my Shopify website, but it’s core functionality is so helpful that it’s not enough to sway my decision to use them.

Avantages

Easy to use and very organized. Easy for everyone to use since we use it at 2 different locations.

Inconvénients

No downsides to Sortly currently. It's easy to use and we really like that alerts that are setup to let us know when inventory items are low.

Avantages

Nothing really. It works well, but it is another tool using excel like sorting method; not adding value to our process in my pov.

Inconvénients

Interface is busy, we need to get familiar to understand and avoid mistake. But, we are just using it twice a year (we cannot select the proper frequency of use in the next page. I would put "6 months")
I see an extra tool as an extra possibility for mistakes.
I would aim to have the same tool for VA and displays so we have all info at the same place.
No confirmation of order is a pity.

Avantages

1. Ease of use. It is a simple plus and minus app
2. You can categorize items thru folders
3. Easy report generation
4. App developers listen to clients suggestion on ways to improve the app

Inconvénients

Limited units of measurements considering the many items that cannot be defined by the default units if measurement

Avantages

Believe it or not, its the Recent Activity feed that I like the most. I can see what is getting consumed by our team and can react accordingly.

Inconvénients

I wish there was a dark mode in the browser. Not sure if there is a mobile app but I will check to see if there is as well as a dark mode.

Avantages

Sortly is a very innovated and amazing application to keep businesses running smoothly.

Inconvénients

Wished Sortly was free! But either way it’s the best.

Avantages

Keeps multiple UPC’s Organized and easy to use - onsite and offsite inventory alike

Inconvénients

Would have liked if there was an option to use the scan gun at all levels

Avantages

The barcode functionality is wonderful.

Inconvénients

I would like the most purchased and/or used items.

Avantages

It is inexpensive comparatively and it easy to use.

Inconvénients

Sometimes searching transactions are cumbersome.

Avantages

I've used sortly in a previous company and was really excited to put it to work at my current employer! The ease of use and accessability are great!

Inconvénients

I can't think of anything I don't like! Everything about Sortly has been great.

Avantages

The customer service is easily the best thing about Sortly. I receive a response to any questions typically within minutes and always within 24 hours. The customer service is helpful and kind!

Inconvénients

We occasionally will have lagging issues with inventory, items showing they are not there or in two places at once. This is usually just a quick fix with the sync feature.
