Take a Tour of Warp-It

Loan or rent out surplus assets

As well as one way donations, the Warp It system also facilitates the loaning or rental of items. Think of it as a room booking system but for assets, equipment and any common items.

Popular uses

The loan facility is well used for items that are common in each office but are used infrequently, such as laminators, binders, fans etc. The loan feature is used extensively for high value, low use equipment like sport apparatus and laboratory kit- especially between schools and labs.

Booking out commonly held assets

The loan feature can also be used to book out items from a store, such as laptops, safety equipment and vehicles etc. The loan feature can also be used by staff who have a stock of equipment and traditionally book it out over email like table clothes, a frame, advertising boards, tools etc.

Loaning guidelines & liabilities

In the same method as standard donations there are guidelines to loans and Terms & Conditions. Organisations can customise this agreement for their own purposes.

I've claimed items from the Warp It site and it works very well :D

A very good update on what is available!

As part of the Facilities Service, we are often asked to source items for other departments which we do not have or indeed, would have the space for if we did have it.
It is great to know that this service is like the 'Attic' for us all when we need it.
Many thanks!
