Hey, Warp It Members.

We’ve been receiving a few emails from users in recent weeks about how to filter search results by member, from a standard user account.

Has your organisation ever considered introducing an equipment/asset reuse system?

Perhaps you’ve got an existing system and it is in serious need of improvement?

Reuse is an activity that can have an enormous return on investment... when done right. The returns that can be gained are not only financial (due to budget and time savings), but also environmental, thanks to being more resourceful and avoiding sending useful assets to landfill. Warp It has solved all of the issues that (used to) come with reuse systems.

Projects within organisations come in all shapes and sizes, but there’s one thing that they all share in common, and that’s collaboration.

No matter how difficult or complex a project may be, its success is dependent on how well the various parties involved have come together to make it happen.

We believe in the value of training and support, which is why we are launching Stakeholder Buy-In Webinars to ensure your reuse system gets off to a flying start.

You have been working all day , your boss is asking for an update, you need to submit a committee report, things are stressful.

I am assuming you are here because you are interested to see how reuse can improve processes at your place of work.

Warp It webinars last about 30-40 minutes and give you a great overview of how our system is being used for organisations just like yours. The webinars are

• Convenient- join from anywhere
• Easy to follow
• Straight to the point
• Have the ability to ask questions and get immediate response
• You can dip in and out
• If you miss the session we send you a recording

Here are the main reasons you should attend the webinar to improve your job function. You are probably involved with one or more of the processes below. 

• Reduce unnecessary procurement: Here are 6 golden impacts that the procurement department can enjoy!

• Reduce waste; Here's are 4 reasons that the Waste Manager loves what we do. With a surprise in there that you would not think of !

• We improve sustainability. (No brainer!)

• Create better building clearances / decants and improve space efficiency; Here are 4 reasons ways that we help with the space management/ decant/ building clearance process.

• We improve the look and feel of the estate: Here are 8 reasons that this activity can help you towards your Estates/ Facilities/Operations objectives.

• Improve portering/ logistics. Here are 4 reasons Facilities Managers , the head porter and porters like what we do.

If you are interested in any of the process above and are the type of person who likes to see continual improvement then you will enjoy one of our webinars.

For me there are two main benefits to webinars...

1) Freedom from the office

Wouldn't it be great to get out for a bit and still be moving your objectives forward? This is where webinars can really shine. Because we are all more mobile and contactable you can learn on the go with a webinar.

2) Better quicker easier collaboration

Delivering any project at work involves cross-departmental collaboration. If for example you are rolling out a reuse project,  there are many actors in this play, including Sustainability, Waste, Procurement, Capital Development, Space Management, Logistics and Storage. 

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.

To really maximise your reuse system, you have to get people onto the platform or reuse system, uploading their items, searching for assets and making claims.

The usual distribution curve we see on Warp It is that early adopters and the early majority jump on quite quickly and work it out for themselves because we provide video learning and support. 

Some of the late comers are put off by learning a new system.

A lot of people are put off the idea of taking part because they don’t understand how to use new web services and Warp It is no different.

For these people we recommend doing one-to-one training, which is a quick and worthwhile activity.

We deliver the following support and training to get your reuse system off to a flying start, or to supplement an existing scheme.

You will find this article very useful for driving everyone's focus towards getting the system started and making it as automated as possible in the quickest period of time.

This quick and informative guide is going to show you one of the best tricks for finding a match for your surplus assets on the estate.

It’s really important to try and find a match for your surplus assets before they get moved to storage, as to avoid double-handling, or having the asset sat gathering dust in a corridor somewhere, or even worse, outside!
