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.

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!

But we have no storage we cannot reuse!

Welcome! In this blog post we’re going to look at how you can use a thing called "the wishlist" to run your reuse program without the need for and take the pressure off storage.

What is a wishlist exactly? Remember when you were a child writing letters to Father Christmas? Well, it’s similar to that, it’s a list of things you would like to receive, except, with Warp It, they’re free, and you can get them all year round, not just on Christmas day!
