Break free from overconsumption and reuse all year round

If electrical goods and gadgets are in good working order they can, and should, be reused.

In this post, we will be looking at a new feature we have added to the Warp It system that makes life easier for building clearance managers, and allows reuse to be maximised during clearances and decommissions.

To automate the reuse of assets around your organisation, at some point you'll have to give staff the ability to add their own unwanted items rather than relying on one person to do it.

Sometimes you may need to prioritise some members or organisations over others when it comes to reuse.

Collaboration can often mean the difference between failure and success. Our admin forums are designed to allow those running reuse projects to network, collaborate, and share ideas.

We try to automise reuse as much as possible so that you and your staff and your colleagues can get on with other priorities.

Sometimes it helps if we explain how an surplus asset flows through our system to demonstrate the benefits of an automatic reuse system.

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.

If circumstances change, an item listed on the Warp It reuse system may need to be removed to avoid disappointment or confusion.

"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.
