We define special projects as any warehouse or distribution center (DC) initiative that falls outside the scope of traditional inventory counting. These projects are typically labor-driven and tailored to meet the specific operational needs of our clients. Whether it’s reorganizing a warehouse layout, updating signage, relabeling products or fixtures, or assisting with overflow tasks during peak seasons, our team is equipped to support a wide range of logistical and operational challenges.
Special Projects often arise during transitional periods or high-demand times when internal resources are stretched thin. For example, during the busy season, our team can assist with unloading inbound shipments, relocating pallets, or clearing operational zones to maintain workflow efficiency. If additional labor is required, whether for short-term assistance or more structured tasks, we step in to ensure that your operations continue without disruption. Our goal is to provide reliable, hands-on support wherever it’s needed within your warehouse or DC environment.
Datascan's full-service warehouse capabilities are second to none. We didn't have to worry about the process at all, Datascan came in prepared with supplemental labor for our count, it was a complete success and we didn't have to worry about not having enough people for our count.

What qualifies as a special project in a warehouse setting?
Special projects include any non-standard or one-time warehouse initiatives such as relocations, consolidations, system transitions, audits, reconfigurations, or custom inventory tasks that fall outside routine operations.
How is a special project scoped and planned?
We begin with a discovery session to understand your goals, timeline, and constraints. Then we develop a tailored project plan with milestones, resource allocation, and success metrics.
How do you ensure minimal disruption to operations during a special project?
We plan around your operational schedule, offer after-hours or weekend support, and use phased approaches to reduce downtime and maintain productivity.
Is this service available for one-time or recurring needs?
Both. We support one-time initiatives and recurring special projects, such as seasonal inventory prep, annual audits, or overstock receiving.
