Sortly vs. Voxme: Which is Better?

Although the Sortly software is an undisputed leader on Google for the search query “inventory software”, in practice, it functions more like a warehouse management system. This is frequently mentioned in user reviews. Here's an example of one such review on Reddit:

The solution that the author of this Reddit post is likely looking for is Voxme Bingo Portal. This system allows drivers, crew leaders and foremen to create a human readable digital packing inventory with photos in PDF format, send it directly to the client from their phones or tablets, and upload the data to the Voxme cloud portal where it gets stored and can be later retrieved from anywhere by job number or client details.

Within the Bingo Portal, it’s also possible to print barcode labels — but specifically in the context of moving and storage jobs. Two decades of industry experience have shown that the best label printer for this purpose is Zebra. It uses a field tested type of an adhesive label that reliably sticks to packing cardboard and plastic. A batch of job specific labels, calculated based on the estimated move volume with a safety margin, is handed to the packing crew along with the work order and other necessary paperwork in advance.

Sortly, according to its description, also allows users to print individual labels in PDF format on standard office printers. However, for this to work, one must use sticker sheets or, alternatively, attach paper labels with tape or apply casing glue to the back, the way hockey sticks were once taped.

One of the Sortly's strong features is the ability to generate QR codes for specific products on a shelf. In one of the higher-tier plans, the software even enables automatic notifications when a product is running low.

In contrast, the solution from bingo.voxme.com encodes the job number and the piece number into the QR code, turning it into a unique identifier. This makes it possible to use the Bingo mobile app on any device to check job inventory completeness at various stages of the moving process.

And finally, the most important aspect - pricing and terms of use. Understanding Sortly's pricing may require a degree in economics or, at the very least, a lot of patience and solid shopping skills to navigate its complex plans, packages, and conditional discounts. All pricing plans are based on a limited number of items a month plus some extra on top, which doesn’t match any movers reality.

Bingo Portal pricing is much simpler and more transparent:

• $300 per year for platform access;
• $3 per job (regardless of the number of users, devices, or items in each job inventory).

The price also includes the option to have your company logo on Inventory and Bingo PDF summaries, as well as on labels.

On the voxme.com website you can find a simple and straightforward, one-page purchase order sample. All one needs to do is to fill in the company details, receive a $300 invoice, pay it via credit card directly from the Voxme website, and start using a solution that has already become part of the daily routine for hundreds of companies around the world.
