Convenience store operators know that inventory does not stop moving. In fast-paced retail environments, where every SKU matters and shelf turnover is rapid, even a small miscount can throw off the entire operation. For c-store managers dealing with staffing gaps, audit pressures, or seasonal spikes, Datascan offers a solution that is both fast and precise: supplemental inventory staffing designed specifically for the convenience store setting.
The pace of the convenience store industry leaves very little room for error. Products arrive daily, stock is replenished in real time, and customer traffic rarely slows down. Managers and staff are often balancing multiple responsibilities at once, including assisting customers, managing deliveries, rotating stock, running registers, and maintaining safety and compliance standards. Adding a comprehensive inventory count on top of those responsibilities can stretch even the most efficient teams beyond their limits. When that happens, accuracy suffers, audits become stressful, and operational visibility starts to fade.
That is where Datascan fits in. We deliver trained, reliable inventory professionals who specialize in convenience store operations. Our teams understand the unique pace and flow of your business. They work quickly without sacrificing accuracy, and they are respectful of both staff and customers throughout the process. We provide a seamless integration that allows your team to stay focused on what they do best, which is serving customers and keeping the store running smoothly.
Unlike general retail staffing solutions, Datascan’s services are tailored to meet the distinct needs of c-stores. We know your footprint is smaller, your traffic is higher, and your timelines are tighter. We understand that shrink control, compliance reporting, and shelf availability are critical to your store’s success. Our teams are trained to move efficiently in compact spaces, identify inconsistencies quickly, and produce clean, actionable data.
Whether your store is part of a local chain, a national brand, or an independent operation, our staffing model flexes to meet your needs. We can support overnight counts, fill in during high-traffic weeks, or provide recurring inventory support throughout the year. Every count we conduct is backed by Datascan inventory tracking technology, giving you real-time data and easy-to-digest reports that help drive smarter decisions across your operation.
Inventory should not be a headache. It should be a tool for clarity, control, and profitability. Datascan makes that possible by putting experienced people and powerful tools exactly where you need them: inside your store, working on your timeline, and aligned with your goals.
C-stores aren’t just mini versions of larger retailers. They present their own unique challenges: limited shelf space, high SKU diversity, frequent restocking, and customer flow that rarely slows down. Add to that lottery tickets, regulated goods, tobacco products, and multiple beverage zones, and you’ve got a complex operation packed into a small footprint.
That’s where Datascan’s convenience store staffing model shines. Our teams are trained for rapid, accurate counts in high-density layouts. They know how to navigate tight aisles, high-turnover products, and the back-of-house quirks that come with convenience retail. From verifying planograms to reconciling promotional inventory, we make sure your counts reflect reality—not guesswork.
We know c-stores don’t shut down for inventory. Our staffing approach is designed to work with your store hours and your business rhythm—not against it. Whether you operate 24/7 or follow fixed daily hours, Datascan builds shift-ready staffing plans to match your busiest times, off-hours, and everything in between.
Our teams are prepared for:
We show up on time, communicate clearly with store managers, and execute counts with minimal impact on customers and cashiers. That’s part of what makes our staffing so reliable. We don’t disrupt—we deliver.
From snack aisles and endcaps to refrigerated units and backstock rooms, Datascan counts it all. Our supplemental staffing for convenience stores covers full-store counts as well as targeted audits, seasonal resets, or vendor-specific reviews. We support:
Convenience store inventory staffing has to be quick, but not sloppy. That’s why we equip every team with handheld scanners, mobile tracking, and access to Datascan’s full-service inventory counting solutions. With real-time syncing and 24/7 reporting dashboards, you don’t just get a count, you get visibility, accountability, and data you can act on.
Our supplemental staffing isn’t a standalone solution. It’s part of a broader system that includes:
Convenience store inventory support shouldn’t mean extra work for your team. We bring the tools, the data, and the trained personnel to make inventory simpler—not more stressful.
Speed matters. So does precision. Datascan has earned the trust of convenience store operators because we deliver both. Our professionals are briefed before they enter your store, trained to handle regulated items, and committed to maintaining the same standards you expect from your in-house staff.
Whether you operate a dozen stores or hundreds, we tailor our staffing model to scale with you. And because we’ve worked with national and regional chains, we understand the operational complexity of keeping every location in sync. That’s where our real-time syncing and consistent processes make the difference.
