About The Position

ScanScape Retail Scan Associates visit a designated selection of stores each week to scan product barcodes on displays and in aisle locations, including aisle end caps. The collected data is analyzed to improve product and retailer sales performance. Associates use a downloadable app on their mobile phone and provide quantities for about 45% of the products scanned.

Associates perform in-store data collection at assigned local retailers every week for 52 weeks a year, including holiday weeks. Weekly work includes scanning the entire store’s displays and may take several hours. Custom Projects, which request more specific product details in main stocking locations, occur almost every week and can add 30 minutes to two hours of work per store.

The route includes grocery stores in Urbana, IL 61802 and Savoy, IL 61874, with available workdays on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday in Urbana and Wednesday or Thursday in Savoy. The role averages 7–9 base hours per week across all stores, depending on store size and workload. Additional hours, typically 1–2 hours per week per store, are frequently assigned for special projects, with higher demand from January through June. Associates must report to stores within specified deadlines. The role offers workplace independence and some flexibility in hours, and involves continuous physical activity throughout the workday shift.
