This includes electrical equipment, office furniture, stationery, uniforms and corporate workwear, lab equipment, and medical equipment. But sometimes there are certain terms and conditions to be followed. This is when the tick box feature can be used. This feature also allows you to ask questions when members add items or claim items. What is the problem we are solving? When members are adding items or claiming items they may need to adhere to certain conditions. This might be to remove an item from the asset register, for instance, to check that an item has been disinfected, or to ensure any applicable regulations and legislations are followed. This helps you manage risk and expectations, and control behaviours when adding assets into the Warp It reuse system.
