There’s a question we’ve been asked by some of our members, and whilst on the face of it, it may seem like a tricky question, we’ve managed to simplify our answer.

We welcome Daniel O’Connor to the podium to tell his story...

If you are a frequent reader of the Warp It Blog, you will know that Daniel is the proud founder of Warp It, a man who has dedicated his adult life to resource efficiency and ending the curse of wastefulness. This mantra has led him through a very interesting journey, which he has shared below.

This story is being retold in the hope of giving others a way forward if they are problem solvers, change makers and/ or seeking to be an entrepreneur. 

Your big issue = How to manage transport

This guide is here to provide a couple of simple, bite-sized tips for more effectively managing transport and logistics on a large estate. We have various features which mean that transport of items is made as easy as possible.  You cannot get away from the fact that items have to be transported but this article will help you get your transport as effective as possible.

How will implementing Warp It affect transport?

When items become surplus they have to be moved.  They can either be moved to the skip/dumpster...or they can be moved for reuse.

Will the transport department be overwhelmed with new transport jobs? We do not see this happening at new customer system because behaviour change and culture change is slow. It never changes over night. The transport department will see a slight rise in requests which will grow slowly over time.

If you are concerned about the transport system being overwhelmed you might seek to roll out your system incrementally. See here.

Welcome! We are pleased to introduce a new feature for the benefit of admins on the Warp It system.

Admins will now see some changes in terms of what they are able to delete and remove on active items.

"We do not have storage, so we cannot reuse"

This is one of the most common reasons institutions do not explore reuse after the first assessment meeting.

However, we say to customers, ‘Why would you want storage? It’s expensive to own, expensive to run, and time consuming to manage.’

If we could match surplus assets with new homes, while they are still in their original position, would that change things?

It would. We know it would.

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

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!

Most projects aren’t doomed for failure at the beginning; but the reality is that sometimes things fall apart, for a whole lot of reasons.
