Independent control of stock that secures finance
As an independent, B-BBEE Level 1 rail logistics operator with no vested interest in the commodity itself, Barberry is uniquely positioned to act as a trusted collateral manager — giving lenders and financiers the confidence to advance capital against product held at Barberry-managed facilities.
Barberry's collateral management service is built for mining and commodity clients who require structured financing against their stockpiles or in-transit product. We provide financiers and traders with an independent, reliable third-party service — combining proven commodity handling expertise, robust governance systems and deep rail logistics knowledge.
Our service covers stock monitoring and inspection, on-site stock movements and security, train loading and off-loading, vessel discharge supervision and logistics monitoring between origin (rail siding) and destination (port or customer stockpile). Barberry independently verifies grade, quantity, container seals, rail wagons, trucks and vessel holds — issuing inspection reports and certificates that are used to control payment and risk between trader, financier and producer.
