Inventory is more than numbers. In retail, it is how you forecast, how you plan, how you order, and how you serve. But staying on top of it accurately and consistently can become one of the biggest operational burdens store teams face. That is why Datascan offers full-service inventory counting solutions tailored for retailers of all sizes. Our service does not just deliver a number, it delivers insight, accountability, and peace of mind.
From department stores and big-box retailers to specialty shops and regional chains, Datascan brings together trained professionals, easy-to-use technology, and clean, comprehensive data. We count every item, document every result, and give you the tools to use that information well. And we do it in a way that respects your space, your schedule, and your standards.
You do not have to coordinate dozens of temporary workers, troubleshoot scanning errors, or spend hours sorting spreadsheets. With Datascan’s full-service approach, your entire count is handled from start to finish by a team that lives and breathes retail inventory. The outcome is not just a list of SKUs, it’s a reliable, organized snapshot that supports business decisions across departments.
Our solutions are built on three pillars: people, process, and technology. We invest in all three so that your store can operate with confidence. The people we send are vetted and experienced. The process we follow is structured and tested, and the technology we deploy is intuitive, robust, and scalable. The result is an inventory count that empowers retail leaders to see, solve, and succeed.
When we say full-service, we mean it. Datascan handles every aspect of the inventory count from pre-count planning to post-count reporting. Our process is thorough, adaptable, and designed to minimize stress for your store teams while maximizing accuracy and visibility.
Before a single scanner is powered on, we coordinate with your store managers or regional leads to understand layout, SKUs, peak hours, restricted areas, and any department-specific needs. Then, we schedule and staff accordingly. Our teams arrive prepared and trained to operate within your protocols, ready to begin without adding pressure to your internal staff.
During the count, we use Datascan inventory tracking technology to ensure accuracy at every step. That includes live data capture, real-time syncing, and mobile dashboards so leadership can monitor progress as it happens. Whether we are counting a single location or conducting a chainwide program, our process is structured, professional, and efficient.
After the count, you receive a complete inventory snapshot, including:
We don’t leave you with data that needs decoding. We walk through results with you, answer questions, and help you use your inventory information to make informed operational decisions.
Our inventory professionals are more than counting help, they are trained, experienced, and trusted. Each Datascan team member undergoes specialized training for retail environments, including instruction on scanning accuracy, handling of sensitive merchandise, and working around active sales floors without disruption.
We match team size to store size, count complexity, and operational pace. From small specialty stores to large-format department retailers, our goal is the same: deliver a complete inventory count that is accurate, fast, and professionally managed.
Every team is led by an onsite supervisor who ensures procedures are followed, questions are answered, and quality checks are completed. Our people do not simply follow a checklist, they understand why accuracy matters and how it affects retail performance. This sense of ownership and attention to detail is part of what sets Datascan apart.
Our staffing model is structured for consistency. That means clients who schedule recurring counts often see the same faces on site. That familiarity improves communication, speeds up workflow, and strengthens trust. Retailers appreciate knowing that the team showing up is aligned with their standards and store culture.
Datascan’s full-service inventory counting solutions are built to scale. Whether you operate five stores or five hundred, we can mobilize trained teams to meet your timeline. Our infrastructure supports:
We can schedule counts overnight, before opening, or in rolling shifts depending on your hours of operation and customer flow. Our clients include national retail chains, luxury boutiques, outlet stores, flagship locations, and everything in between. What they have in common is a need for reliable inventory support and a partner they can count on.
We understand that each retail format has its own challenges. Some require high-volume counting with speed, while others prioritize precision in complex assortments. We adjust our methodology and staffing approach based on your goals. Whether your layout includes oversized furniture, high-value locked items, bulk displays, or seasonal floorplans, we adapt our strategy to match.
Behind every Datascan inventory count is industry-leading technology. Our systems are designed to make the process easier for your team and more insightful for your business.
Our scanners are lightweight, fast, and intuitive. They minimize fatigue and support rapid data capture. We pair these with real-time dashboards and inventory tracking software that offers:
You don’t have to wait for a final report to know how your count is going. Our platform updates as the count unfolds, giving you the confidence and control to manage issues in real time.
Technology also ensures consistency across locations. For large retailers with multiple stores, this means a standardized process, centralized oversight, and clean data you can trust.
Our clients choose us because they are tired of inconsistent data, stressful audits, and inventory blind spots. With Datascan, they know every item is counted correctly, every zone is covered, and every result is delivered with speed, clarity, and accountability.
