As far as we know, no other service allows organisations like schools, municipal councils, healthcare , central government, charities and private sector, to trade and reuse surplus assets with each other for free.

We provide an equipment and furniture reuse network where you can always find homes for your unwanted items and where you can always find 2nd hand supplies!

 

• 60% of the trades on the system take place within the same organisation. 

 

• The rest of the trades are inter agency- that is between organisations!

Welcome! If you’ve seen our other signpost articles on getting people to buy in to your ideas, and the benefits of Warp It to the healthcare sector, just to name a couple, then you’ll know how this page functions.

If it’s your first visit to one of our signposts, here’s a quick explanation:

We have collected all of our articles and interviews that relate to a certain topic and we give a link and an introduction to each one, all on this page. In this instance, we are talking about how to improve collaboration and build support for reuse.

We assume you are here because you want to get reuse embedded into your organisation.

 

We also assume you have tried "word of mouth" reuse and realised you did not get the scale you needed.

 

We also assume you tried to carry out reuse using emails,  but realised that is was way too messy, too hard to track and took too much manual input for all parties.

 

We also assume you might have also tried using a spreadsheet and realised the downfalls. 

 

The next obvious step for any forward thinking organisation is to develop your own system!

 

So you are thinking about developing a software system to track all the trades so that reuse becomes almost automatic?

 

Great!! You are in the right place!

If you want reuse to become 2nd nature in your organisation you need to get the wishlist function working for you!

When wishlists are maximised three great things happen.

• The disposer gets rid of their item straight away
• The recipient gets an item straight away
• There's no need for storage

In this blog post we explain what the wishlist is, why it is good and how to get your staff adding items to their wishlist!
