About the project

We helped the client to create an application, enabling users to categorize and keep track of all items in their possession with a few clicks and a clean UI. With its help, people can manage almost any kind of activity – from movings to art installations.
Among other solutions, the project provides the following:

Challenges to overcome

Initially, Sortly was divided into 2 separate applications. Both of them have served two different types of customers. However, when the client’s business grew, the targeted audience increased in numbers.
When these changes took place, stable architecture and dynamic requests remained on the “to-do” list. Thus, we decided to merge two apps into one.
Many customers were constantly suggesting and supporting the app core functionalities. They were regularly proposing new features and ideas to be added into the app. Our team took noticed, and decided to form a proper customer experience team and structure the process of producing features from the box of suggestions.

Our work

Having considered several possible options for conducting work on the project, we completely changed the backend structure and switched to a completely new data model that allowed us to easily scale the product.
After aligning the development process with our business interests, preparing plans for the development team and agreeing with the customer we drastically improved our dev team release managers who develop the tech leads.
Also, we added a refined onboarding plan for any developer who is going to be integrated into our Sortly team. It is performed quite simply and smoothly.​

JetRuby engineers became a core part of Sortly and collaborated in the development process of the World’s #1 inventory app. Sortly is trusted by the majority of small businesses and teams at large enterprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an inventory management app?

An inventory management app is a digital solution for tracking and organizing assets, products, and equipment in one place. It allows users to store information about items, including quantities, categories, locations, and other details. Such apps help businesses maintain accurate inventory records and quickly access important information about their assets.

An inventory tracking app allows users to create item records, organize assets into categories or folders, and update information as inventory changes. Users can add details, photos, locations, and custom fields to each item, then search and manage inventory through a centralized system.

A modern inventory management app should include item profiles, folders, categories, photo support, custom fields, search, reporting tools, and team access management. These features help users organize inventory data, monitor assets, and collaborate with team members while keeping information accurate and accessible.

Visual inventory tracking uses photos and images to make items easier to identify and manage. It helps teams quickly recognize assets, monitor their condition, and reduce confusion when handling large inventories. A visual approach also makes organizing and searching for items more intuitive.

Inventory management software can scale by supporting increasing numbers of items, users, and locations within a centralized system. A flexible data structure, reliable architecture, and expandable features allow businesses to manage growing inventory volumes while maintaining efficient workflows and easy access to information.
