Change is inevitable and deadlines need to be adjusted from time to time.

When an item is added to Warp It a deadline can be set. This is the last point the owner can have the item in their possession. 

However as items are added to the ruse system circumstances can change and deadlines impacted. To increase the chance a match will made within time frames, and ensure the item finds a new home, you can cancel notifications and alter deadlines.

Here's a guide on how to use this feature. 

While the default deadline of three weeks is usually enough, you can change it.

See below. 

We want to make reuse mainstream.

So do our customers.

“Got. Got. Need. Need. Got. Got. Got. Got. Need. Need. Need.”

Are you seeking to improve how your organisation is currently donating surplus assets to charity?

Are you trying to find a way to effectively donate furniture to charity on a big scale?

This resource will be handy for anyone who is donating or planning to donate assets to charity as part of a surplus assets reuse program or a furniture reuse network.

If the CEO and senior management abandoned an organisation overnight and did not come back for one month.

The staff probably would not notice the difference.

If the porters did the same, after 3 days the organisation would not be able to function.

Let’s give the floor to Micaela Basford, Corporate Sustainability Officer at Bath and North East Somerset Council, who has kindly joined us to talk about ethical and sustainable building clearances.

As items are rehomed, its status changes from active to claimed. 

When the item is collected or delivered to the new location, the new claimant can set the status as collected.

This keeps everything tidy and ship shape. 

It also gives the new owner a chance to cancel or reject the claim if that's required.

Here's a guide on how to use this feature. 

The new owner will get five reminders to update the status to collected. These reminders are grouped into the daily round up so they're sometimes missed.

Furthermore, the status may not does not get updated because people are busy. See below.

Procurement Pam and Procurement Paul

"Good morning, good afternoon, good evening! We are Pam and Paul, and we both work in procurement departments throughout the land! We are here to show you a little more about our work, and we are going to look at the problems faced, responsibilities managed and particular reasons that other people working in Procurement would be aided by the use of Warp It too."

You may deal with people from a few organisations when running your reuse project and want them to access Warp It. When this happens you will need to add and approve members based on various email suffixes.

To maximise the reuse of assets around your organisation, you need to involve as may members of staff as possible. And this means adding them all to the Warp It system.
