Loan return date

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.

Loan information section

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.

Loan out stored items

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 and terms

What our customers are saying



Had a few things from Warp It that the department wouldn't have been able to afford .

Items have been in good condition :)

This is also good for the environment!

Excellent, can just put on the site and forget about it - very easy for other people to contact you if they are interested and with very clear instructions on what to do next.

I think it's a great innovation at a time when resources are scarce.

I'd rather see staff preserved and furniture relocated and given an extended life than the alternative.
