Why choose a provider in Germany over one in the USA?
repleno is a German vendor: contracting party in Bielefeld, German law, data in Germany, billing in euros, support in German. Follow-up questions do not land in a ticket system, you talk directly to the founder. Sortly is based in San Francisco, and that affects more than the server location: under Sortly's own Terms of Service the contract is governed by the laws of the State of California, with the courts of San Mateo County holding exclusive jurisdiction. Both routes work, and thousands of businesses are happy with Sortly. The difference is not whether a vendor can work GDPR-compliant, both can. It is who you are dealing with when something needs sorting out. Support follows the same pattern: Sortly points to a ticket form on its pricing page and offers pure self-service. With repleno, self-service with a help center is included, and you add personal consulting, training, or onboarding on top, on-site or remote.
How do repleno and Sortly react at the reorder point?
Sortly offers reorder points, alerts, and orders: from the Ultra plan you create an order in a few clicks and send it to your supplier. repleno goes a step further here. Per item you decide what happens at the reorder point: nothing, a stock alert, a draft order for approval, or an automatic order with the supplier. That pays off for items that run down constantly and where the ordering click otherwise gets left undone.
Define what happens when the reorder point is reached.
How do repleno and Sortly differ on reporting and audit trails?
Sortly offers more individual report formats, PDF/CSV export, and custom dashboards, gated by tier. repleno goes further on records and automation: every stock movement stays GoBD-compliant and traceable for 8 years, while Sortly only offers this from its Premium tier. repleno also automatically flags movers and non-movers per item and derives suggested minimum and reorder points from that, with no report-building required. That pays off when you want stock decisions right at the item level instead of piecing data together in a dashboard first.
What does repleno cost compared to Sortly?
Sortly tiers its price across plans with a fixed number of user licenses in US dollars; as the team grows, the plan grows. It is worth reading the fine print: the prominently advertised prices apply only in the first year with a 50 percent new-customer discount, and from the second year only 20 percent remains per Sortly's pricing footnote, so the price rises accordingly. repleno charges by item count in euros, all users included, with no first-year effect. Check the current prices directly with each provider.
