Retail inventory accuracy is the foundation of smooth operations. From replenishment planning to merchandising resets, shrink tracking to supplier audits, every piece of your retail ecosystem relies on one thing: knowing what is actually on your shelves. But when store teams are short-handed, stretched thin, or focused on serving customers, inventory precision suffers.
That’s where Datascan comes in. We provide supplemental staffing for retail stores that need to stay on top of inventory, without pulling focus from day-to-day operations. Our teams are trained, efficient, and backed by powerful tracking tools. Whether you need help with quarterly full-store counts, seasonal product launches, or partial audits across departments, Datascan delivers the people, process, and technology to get the job done right.
Our approach is different from standard temp labor. We don’t just send warm bodies, we send skilled professionals who understand retail, follow protocol, and work respectfully within your store environment. And because every count is supported by Datascan inventory tracking technology, your results aren’t just fast, they’re also accurate, transparent, and immediately actionable.
Inventory doesn’t have to be stressful or disruptive. With the right team in place, it becomes a strategic advantage. That’s the Datascan difference.
Retail inventory is not just about keeping shelves full. It impacts forecasting, ordering accuracy, customer satisfaction, and even staffing models. Whether you’re managing multiple floors of merchandise, seasonal stock rotations, or just trying to stay compliant with internal audits, your inventory processes must be seamless. The stakes are high, and miscounts can have ripple effects across the business, from vendor disputes to margin loss. That’s why retailers come to Datascan. We take a comprehensive approach to staffing, technology, and reporting to ensure your stores are not left behind in a competitive, customer-driven market.
Retail is diverse. You might operate a big-box department store, a specialty boutique, a regional chain, or a national footprint with hundreds of locations. Each store layout, product mix, and operational standard is different, but the pressure to maintain accurate inventory is the same. That’s why Datascan’s retail inventory staffing model is built for flexibility.
Our professionals are trained to work across various store formats and departments. They can support counts in apparel, electronics, health and beauty, sporting goods, home essentials, seasonal areas, and more. Whether your operation involves high-SKU shelves, oversized items, locked cabinets, or bulk floor displays, we send staff who know how to work with it. Our job is to integrate smoothly with your team, deliver a count you can trust, and get out of the way without disrupting your day.
We are not guessing how retail works. We’ve spent decades in it. That’s why leading brands choose Datascan when they need accurate counts and professional staffing. We know how to move through the store, count thoroughly, and leave no shelf unchecked.
Staffing flexibility is essential in retail. You might need help in one location or a hundred. You might need weekend help, off-hours support, or urgent same-week coverage to prepare for a corporate audit. Datascan can accommodate all of that and more.
We scale with your team, location count, and timeline. Our inventory staffing services include:
Every staffing engagement begins with a detailed conversation. We align on your needs, schedule, count scope, preferred processes, and existing tools. Then we deploy staff who are briefed, equipped, and ready to go. And because we handle logistics, coordination, and reporting, you and your store teams stay focused on daily retail operations without getting bogged down.
Technology is a critical part of our approach. Our teams do not walk in with clipboards and hope for the best. Every Datascan inventory count is backed by real-time tools that ensure accuracy, visibility, and control.
We provide:
Our technology does not complicate your process, it complements it. Our goal is to help you streamline the count, not slow it down.
When we step into your store, we adapt to your flow. We don’t come with a rigid system or force your staff to change how they operate. Instead, we work within your floorplan, cadence, and store culture. We communicate clearly with department leads and store managers to ensure everyone is aligned.
Your customers will not be disrupted. Your staff won’t be overloaded. Your merchandising will not be derailed. We coordinate carefully to make sure the count is completed on time, on budget, and with minimal interruption to the business.
We respect your space, your standards, and your customer experience. That’s what makes Datascan more than a vendor, we’re a partner you can rely on every time.
Our clients choose us because they need more than labor. They need consistency, professionalism, and accuracy. They need someone who understands how stores operate and can deliver results without creating friction.

We understand the unique requirements of retail and how inventory accuracy affects shrink reporting, visual compliance, P&L statements, and vendor reconciliation.
