The WareSquared mobile app provides a guided picking experience with barcode scanning.
Starting a Pick

- Tap a pick list to begin
Picking Workflow
For each item on the pick list:
- Navigate — The app shows the location code and name
- Scan Location — Scan the location barcode to confirm you're in the right spot
- Pick Item — Take the specified quantity from the shelf
- Scan Product — Scan the product barcode to verify the correct item
- Confirm Quantity — Enter the actual quantity picked
- Next Item — Move to the next line
Short Picks
If a location doesn't have enough stock:
- Enter the actual quantity available
- The system records the short pick
- Remaining quantity may be sourced from another location or back-ordered
Completing the Pick
After all items are picked:
- Review the summary
- Note any short picks or substitutions
- Tap Complete Pick
- The pick list status updates to Picked
Tip: Keep your phone's camera clean for reliable barcode scanning. If a barcode is damaged, you can manually search for the product by SKU.
