Sortly
Sortly is a cloud-based, visual inventory and asset-tracking platform that lets businesses photograph, QR-code, and organize their stuff into searchable folders on any device. Built for the non-warehouse crowd - construction crews, medical offices, electricians, interior designers, schools, and retailers - it swaps clipboards and spreadsheets for a mobile app with barcode scanning, custom fields, low-stock alerts, and offline access. Founded in 2012 by Dhanush Balachandran and bootstrapped to profitability, Sortly now tracks millions of items for well over 15,000 paying businesses.

Before Sortly he spent over 15 years across Intel, Apple, DJI, and Y Media Labs, where he forecast worldwide CPU demand, priced server chips, and built ResearchKit medical research apps.
