Hello Warp It Admins, this article is for you.

We want to clear up a little idiosyncrasy that crops up every now and again on our platform - the case of rejecting staff members…

What's happened?

Our customers often have different ways of dealing with electrical items.

Some customers use Warp It to redistribute surplus electricals around their estate and beyond.

However some customers have this feature turned off all together. 

In the hope of  increasing the reuse of electrical items we are tweaking this process on feedback from existing customers.  

What is the the problem we are seeking to solve?

Once an electrical item is added the person adding the item doesn't necessarily know what happens next with the item. They might assume it is put up for donation or collected for recycling. 

Nik Hunt from Loughborough University rightly pointed out that this ambiguity was not a good way to manage that part of the process.  So in the hope of giving the end user as much info as they need in order to make the process smoother we have introduced a new feature.

Sometimes you do not find a match for your surplus assets internally or even within the community. But you do not want to send those assets to landfill. 

You work in a massive organisation with loads of staff. Have you ever thought that your staff might want to take away your surplus assets?

What happens when you have a department within the organisation that only wants to reuse their assets within the department?

Then you set up a private network within your Warp It portal.

This could be due to the nature of the asset e.g. speciality assets (such as lab equipment) or high value assets that a department would like to keep in-house.

Or it might be that space managers only want to redistribute specific items?

The ability to have a private network within the system would be highly beneficial for these purposes.

Read on for a guide on how this can be done.....

This might be the easiest blog post I have ever written. 

What is it?

We have introduced a feature whereby the admin can get notified on any donations the institution makes to 3rd parties (external donations).

We are very pleased to be introducing an exciting new feature to our members, a feature which will enable Admin to allocate uploaded assets directly to an internal member or an external partner (including charities), saving a great deal of communications time in the process.
