Track & Trace IoT
Finance
IoT asset sensors, RFID systems and forklift telemetry — integrated directly into asset leases so you fund the visibility layer alongside the equipment it tracks.
Track & Trace IoT finance in South Africa
Dynamic Rental Solutions finances asset tracking and IoT technology for South African supply chains, warehouses and logistics operations. IoT asset sensors, RFID systems and forklift telemetry turn equipment and packaging pools into data sources — but they are usually funded as a separate, painful capital item.
Through tailored asset finance structures, businesses can acquire RFID infrastructure, gateways, sensors and telemetry platforms bundled directly into their equipment lease, so visibility becomes a predictable monthly operating cost rather than a capex hurdle.
Our track and trace IoT finance supports operations looking to right-size fleets, reduce idle assets, recover lost returnable packaging and strengthen cold-chain compliance — funded alongside the equipment it tracks.
Why finance track & trace iot with DRS
You can't optimise assets you can't see. Track & trace technology turns forklifts, fleets and packaging pools into data sources — but it's usually funded as a separate, painful capital item. DRS bundles it into the lease.
Finance sensors, gateways, RFID infrastructure and telemetry platforms as part of your equipment facility, so visibility is a monthly operating cost, not a capex hurdle.
What you get
Bundled into the lease
One facility for equipment and the intelligence layer that tracks it.
Operating-cost visibility
Turn a capex project into a predictable monthly line item.
Data-driven utilisation
Right-size fleets and reduce idle assets with real telemetry.

RFID vs Barcode — See the Speed Difference
Watch a real-time inventory count update as a portal scans a mixed returnable-packaging pool. RFID reads a batch of tags in a single pulse; barcode needs line-of-sight, one tag at a time.
Lost assets vs telemetry subscription
Quantify the annual replacement cost of lost returnable-packaging and handling assets against the telemetry subscription that recovers them.
Lost Assets vs Telemetry Subscription
Compare the annual cost of replacing lost returnable-packaging and handling assets against the monthly telemetry subscription that recovers them. Adjust the assumptions to model your own fleet.
Indicative model for illustration only. Actual loss rates, recovery performance and subscription pricing vary by asset type, site and tracking deployment — confirm with a DRS specialist for a tailored assessment.
Tracked packaging pools across SA supply chains
Real-world outcomes from DRS-financed returnable packaging pools equipped with IoT and RFID tracking — across agriculture, retail, logistics and cold chain.
Returnable Packaging Pools with IoT Tracking
Anonymised, illustrative case studies drawn from DRS opportunities and completed transactions across South African supply chains. Select a case to explore the challenge, the funded tracking solution, and the measured outcome.
Recovered 1,400 lost harvest bins in season one
A citrus export operation was losing an estimated 9% of its 4-way agricultural bin pool each season between packhouse, cold store and port. Replacement spend was eroding margin, and missing bins delayed loading schedules.
DRS financed a refreshed bin pool together with RFID portal infrastructure at the packhouse exit, cold-store gate and port staging area. Tags were financed into the lease so visibility became a monthly operating cost rather than a separate capex project.
"We stopped buying bins to replace bins. The tracking paid for itself before the first season closed."
