Take a Tour of Warp-It

Loan or rent out surplus assets

As well as one way donations, the Warp It system also facilitates the loaning or rental of items. Think of it as a room booking system but for assets, equipment and any common items.

Popular uses

The loan facility is well used for items that are common in each office but are used infrequently, such as laminators, binders, fans etc. The loan feature is used extensively for high value, low use equipment like sport apparatus and laboratory kit- especially between schools and labs.

Booking out commonly held assets

The loan feature can also be used to book out items from a store, such as laptops, safety equipment and vehicles etc. The loan feature can also be used by staff who have a stock of equipment and traditionally book it out over email like table clothes, a frame, advertising boards, tools etc.

Loaning guidelines & liabilities

In the same method as standard donations there are guidelines to loans and Terms & Conditions. Organisations can customise this agreement for their own purposes.

Using Warp It is a great way of easily repurposing useful items you may no longer need, not only within your own organisation, but also in the wider area.
It's an awesome way to reduce our impact on the world from a CO2 point of view and also a way to manage the amount of unnecessary disposal we may generate.
