Case Study: Dead House Designs achieves streamlined mobile inventory management and $6,000 annual savings with Sortly

This Prop and Set Design Company Modernized and Mobilized with Sortly

Dead House Designs, a Jefferson, Louisiana studio that designs and produces haunted props and staging for escape rooms and films, struggled to track thousands of custom items using pen-and-paper and spreadsheets. They needed an easy, smartphone-based inventory system that could handle photos, barcoding, and location breakdowns—so they turned to Sortly, a visual inventory and asset tracking solution.

Sortly provided QR codes, high-resolution image support, easy sharing, and mobile-first inventory tools that matched Dead House Designs’ on-the-go workflow. The company cut inventory time from six hours a day to about one hour, saved roughly $200/month on software plus $300/month in productivity (about $6,000 a year), and found onboarding painless for non-technical staff. Sortly’s features directly enabled these measurable time and cost improvements.
