Daniel B
Art Preparator
5.0

Daniel B.: Hi. My first name is Daniel. I'm an art preparator at Stanford University Department of Art. I have used Sortly for over a year now, and I would give it a 5 out of 5. Prior to Sortly, the department used spreadsheets to manage inventory, and it was just grossly inadequate. I quickly found Sortly. I liked it because it was local and efficient. I'm on the peninsula, so I'm close to customer servers, which is great. I went with Sortly because it basically checked all of our boxes. I didn't needed somebody to manage inventory. And I liked how the user interface was very easy to use. So that's basically why I chose it. It was very seamless. Getting everything going on Sortly, it took me a couple of days to input all the inventory into the system. But it's pretty intuitive how that happens. So if you have any experience doing that sort of thing online, you wouldn't have any issue. So, yeah, it was very quick and easy. If you're looking for a platform that's mobile-friendly and very efficient, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend someone to try Sortly.
