What we love in May 2019 - choose hope. Choose action. Choose a future.

By now, you’re probably quite familiar with the process of internal claims, but what about opening up your assets to third parties? In this article, we are going to talk about one of the features we’ve introduced to help smoothen the communications between you and third parties.

One thing that we are occasionally asked is whether customers can account for assets that have been claimed outside of the system either internally or by 3rd parties. 

The reason this is asked is that there may have been a period of reuse before implementing the system that you want to track, or a charity may have turned up on site and taken extra assets that you want to account for. 

One thing that we are occasionally asked is whether customers can send assets straight to a charity and bypass the internal reuse phase.

The reason this is asked is that when you add an asset usually, it gets advertised to internal and then later to whoever has been defined as ‘priority two’, and ‘priority three’ (see this article about share days).

However there are some cases where you might want to avoid internal reuse- the item might not be corporate colours, the item might be non compliant or outdated. As such you donot want internal staff to claim it!

Welcome back! In part four of this series looking at organisation and city level sharing of surplus assets, we are focusing on the University of London.

Giving assets to charity just got a whole lot easier!

We are here to tell you about a new feature we've recently added to the Warp It reuse platform.

The Warp It reuse system is a network whereby schools can access free corporate assets like stationery,  chairs, desks, cabinets, sports equipment etc. There is no charge to join and the surplus assets are free, too. Please register here to start to access free corporate assets in your area. 

We have just introduced free access for all schools!

We used to charge £50 for schools for the year but we have dropped this to remove the financial barrier and give schools free access.

This move was inspired by news articles like this and also hearing the same sort of story locally where we live.

We see surplus stationery and educational equipment everyday on a massive scale so we think making this move is actually a duty of ours to take advantage of the power of our network.

We have big news for Warp It members who are looking to donate assets into their local community, who really want to boost their CSR, and would like to help those who need and want it.

Right now, schools really need help.

They’re struggling.

Schools need stationery, they need chairs for pupils, they need sports equipment, and they need desks of all sizes.

The purpose of this blog post is to help existing customers increase their charity donation capacity in the local area.

As you may know, a large part of Warp It is designed to facilitate the passage of surplus corporate assets into the charity sector, and so far we have helped our customers donate over £2m worth of assets.

In part two of this series we are going to talk about the first of our four case studies (part one).

I’m Daniel, Head of Customer Happiness at Warp It, and I’m the narrator of this article. What I encourage you to do, before or after reading this article, is to watch the video of the people from these organisations talking about how the system works in their city. These videos are between 3 & 5 minutes long.
