Where Sorbetto fits.

More structured than spreadsheets. More hands-on than generic inventory software. Lighter than a mid-market ERP project.

Spreadsheets Lowest software cost, highest cleanup cost.
  • Flexible at first, hard to control as the team grows.
  • Inventory, AP, production, and reports drift into separate tabs.
  • Month-end depends on manual reconciliation and tribal knowledge.

Best when the business is still simple and one person can keep the whole model in their head.

Sorbetto Guided setup, lower monthly commitment.
  • $3,500 setup, then $299/month.
  • No annual lock-in after launch.
  • Configured around your actual master data, workflows, and reports.
  • Slack workflow connectivity can be added when the team is ready.
  • Optional changes are scoped at $150/hour before work starts.

Best when spreadsheets are breaking, but a full ERP rollout would be too much cost, time, and process.

Inventory SaaS Useful tools, but you still adapt around the product.
  • Often priced by plan, users, locations, integrations, or order volume.
  • Setup can still fall on your team unless implementation is added.
  • Good fit when your workflow matches the standard product closely.

Best when you mainly need inventory/order tooling and can live inside the vendor's existing structure.

Mid-tier ERP More power, more commitment.
  • Can be the right long-term choice for larger, more complex teams.
  • Implementation, change management, and admin overhead can become the real cost.
  • Often asks the business to commit before the workflows are fully proven.

Best when the business already needs heavier controls, broad integrations, and dedicated internal ownership.

What's included

What launch setup includes.

Discovery + design
We map your existing spreadsheets, processes, vendor relationships, locations, and 3PL setup.
Data collection templates
You populate structured templates for master data and selected history: items, vendors, locations, BOMs, open POs, starting inventory, bills, or other records you want carried forward.
Configured Sorbetto instance
Item Master, vendors, locations, BOMs, payment terms, and lists populated with your data.
Connected operations
Purchase orders, receipts, work order builds, transfer orders, adjustments, and shipments wired to one operating record.
AP + reporting
Vendor bills, bill payments, AP aging, cash forecast, inventory valuation, and monthly COGS reports.
Training + handoff
Walkthrough sessions for your team. Documentation tailored to your workflows. Email support during onboarding.
Future customizations are optional. New report, new workflow, unusual import, automation, or integration work is billed at $150/hour. We scope it first, you approve it, then we build it. No retainer.
Slack add-on

Do the work from where your team already is.

Slack connectivity lets operators trigger Sorbetto actions without opening another screen. Sorbetto asks for the missing details, performs the task, and confirms the result in the same thread.

Trigger actions directly. Start a PO lookup, receipt, inventory adjustment, or other scoped workflow from Slack.
Answer follow-up questions. If Sorbetto needs a date, quantity, vendor, location, or confirmation, it asks before posting.
Move on with your day. The system completes the task and replies with a clear confirmation and reference number.
