Here we go through all the steps you take in your reuse hub
A reuse hub mirrors a storage or intermediate warehouse within the organization where you can show items available to your organization that can be reused.
You reserve the items you want, and when you then pick up your items from the hub, they are archived as internally reused. Your organization then receives statistics on the savings you achieve by choosing reuse over new purchases.
Step 1 - Create a location
Step 2 - Invite users to your hub
Step 3 - Inventory an item in the hub
Step 4 - Reserve and pick up an item in the hub
Step 5 - See statistics on what has been reused in the hub
Step 1 - Create a location for your reuse hub
When creating a location for your reuse hub, a good tip is to build the structure as it looks in reality. The clearer the location is set up in Palats, the easier it will be to keep track of where everything is. You need to be an administrator or owner of an organization to create a location.
Example 1: You have a storage room located on the 1st floor of a building. The storage room is small and easy to overview.
Example 2: You have a large intermediate storage area on floor 0, which is divided into different sections and shelves.
Step 4 - Invite users to your hub
To invite a user to your hub, you need to have admin privileges or be the owner of the organization. Invite those individuals who only need access to the hub as marketplace users; this way, they will only see what is in your hub(s) and will not have access to any other locations in your organization.
Step 3 - Deposit an item in the hub
Once you've set up your reuse hub, you can start depositing items into it. This can be done via the web app, but the most convenient way is to use the Palats mobile app, which you can download from the App Store or Google Play.
🚫 Make it a rule to only deposit items in the hub that you yourself would consider reusing!
Submit a new item to the reuse hub using the mobile app
Step 4 - How to reserve and pick up an item in the Reuse Hub
You can reserve and pick up items both via the mobile app and the web app.

Step 5 - View statistics on what has been reused in the hub
When an item is picked up, it is automatically registered as reused internally. Through analysis in Palats, you can see the savings you have achieved broken down by category, CO2e emissions, waste, and economic savings
Now you've completed this step!
