Sortly

Sortly completely disrupted the barcoding industry by realizing that 80% of small businesses do not need a massive, complex ERP system; they just need an incredibly simple app on their phone to stop losing expensive tools and supplies. Sortly operates on the philosophy of "Visual Inventory." Instead of forcing a user to buy a $1,000 rugged laser scanner, Sortly relies entirely on the high-definition camera built into standard iPhones and iPads. A construction foreman at a job site can open the Sortly app, scan the barcode on a $3,000 power drill using their iPhone camera, snap a photo of the drill's physical condition, and assign the drill to "Job Site B," completely eliminating the need for complex IT hardware. It is heavily favored by design agencies, event planners, and medical clinics because of its folder-based interface. Instead of a massive, terrifying Excel grid, Sortly looks like a photo album. You click on a folder called "Supply Closet A," and see beautiful photos of all the items inside, along with their barcode numbers and current stock levels, making it incredibly intuitive for non-technical staff.
