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.

Very simple, very clear and we've reduced landfill, found a resource we need and saved a fortune!

Over the years on occasion I have seen a lot of reusable stuff nearly go to waste as there was no facility for services who would welcome the stuff to know it was available.
In the past I have physically taken lever arch/ring binder files that one dept on one site was chucking over to another at another site where I knew these were needed.
I use the bus and made several trips using black bags to carry them in.
Well done for undertaking this!
