Jobs gives your team one structured way to track the items tied to every job, project, work order, ticket, event, or internal request.

Keep job-related items organized, visible, and easier to update as they move across warehouses, trucks, job sites, storage areas, teams, and locations. Better data and visibility means you can reduce over-ordering, lower the risk of lost or stranded inventory, and keep work moving on schedule.

With Jobs, you can:

• Track all your job-related inventory together from start to finish
• Organize jobs however your team works
• Make mobile updates as the job progresses
• Close completed jobs with a record your team can trust

Jobs is now available to all Sortly plans on web and mobile. Note: Plans are limited on the number of concurrent jobs. Closed jobs do not count toward the limit.

✨What’s New?

You can now manage Purchase Orders (POs) directly in the Sortly mobile app. Whether you’re in the field or on the go, you can create a new purchase order, add items, and mark items as received—no need to wait until you’re back at your desk.

This new mobile functionality gives you full control over ordering and restocking inventory, all from your pocket.

New mobile layout: Meet Workflows (and say goodbye to the Dashboard)

With this update, we’re also making two important changes to streamline your inventory tasks:

• The mobile Dashboard tab is being replaced by a new Workflows tab.

• Pick Lists are moving out of the Menu and into Workflows, right alongside Purchase Orders.

These new enhancements make it easier to manage day-to-day inventory processes in one place.

✨What’s New?

You now have access to edit your items’ existing units of measure—no more workarounds needed! Simply change it on the fly with single-item or bulk item edits.

Why this Matters:

Inventory isn’t one-size-fits-all, so your units of measure shouldn’t be either. These new enhancements help keep your system accurate without deleting data or starting from scratch.

Whether you're correcting an error, adjusting for a vendor change, or simply making your units easier for your team to understand, these updates give you the flexibility to keep your inventory clean, consistent, and perfectly aligned with how your business operates.
