The problem in 2008: spreadsheets, then chaos
Dinámica Tecnológica SAS was founded in Medellín, Colombia in 2008 by Jhovan Lopera and Carolina Zapata. The original business: selling IT equipment to Colombian SMBs. Standard B2B distribution.
By 2015, customers were asking the team to manage the equipment, not just sell it. Renting (Technology-as-a-Service) became the new model. Customers paid monthly for laptops, servers, networking gear — Dinámica handled procurement, deployment, support, replacement, end-of-life resale.
It worked. By 2018, the team was managing 500+ SMBs. Then the workflow started to crack:
- QuickBooks for the books
- Mailchimp for monthly invoices
- DocuSign for contract renewals
- Zendesk for support tickets
- Three different spreadsheets to reconcile everything
- One person dedicated full-time to "consolidating data"
"We were losing 18 hours every Monday just figuring out what we'd billed, what got paid, and which customers were 30 days past due. That's a full week of payroll, every month, on spreadsheet reconciliation." — Jhovan Lopera, Co-founder & CEO, Dinámica Tecnológica / RentingOS
The decision: build vs. buy
By 2020 the team evaluated every alternative on the market. ServiceTitan (too expensive, English only). NetSuite (enterprise complexity at SMB scale). HubSpot + QuickBooks combo (still 5 disconnected tools). Salesforce CPQ (six figures of consulting).
None of them were built for a Colombian SMB managing 500 monthly recurring contracts in Spanish, with local payment gateways (Wompi, ePayco), local tax structures (IVA + retención en la fuente), and local labor cost ($25/hour engineers, not $250/hour SaaS reps).
So they built it themselves. The first version of RentingOS shipped in October 2020.
The numbers, 6 years later
Today, Multitech Cloud Latam (the spin-out that operates RentingOS as a platform for other LATAM operators) serves:
- 1,500+ active SMB customers across Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama
- 2,418 active rental contracts — from individual laptops to full office IT
- ~140 invoices per day, all auto-generated, auto-sent, auto-reconciled
- 0 spreadsheets for billing reconciliation. The data lives in one place.
- 1 full-time admin doing what used to require 4 people
What changed operationally
Before RentingOS (2018)
- Monthly billing cycle: 4 people, 18 hours/week, 3 weeks per month
- Failed payment recovery: manual, 8% silent churn
- Contract renewals: spreadsheet alerts, 30% missed deadlines
- Customer self-service: zero (everything went through email)
- Time from quote to signed contract: 14 days average
After RentingOS (2024)
- Monthly billing cycle: 1 person, 2 hours/week, fully automated
- Failed payment recovery: smart dunning, 1.2% silent churn
- Contract renewals: 60-day automated workflow, 95% retention
- Customer self-service: bilingual portal, 78% of support questions self-resolved
- Time from quote to signed contract: 2 hours average
The compounding ROI
The savings aren't a one-time number — they compound. Every new customer added uses the same automated infrastructure. The 1,501st customer requires the same admin time as the 500th. That's why the team can serve 1,500+ SMBs with the same back-office headcount they had at 500.
"RentingOS is the reason we could grow 3x without growing the team 3x. The platform absorbs the operational complexity that used to require humans." — Paola Vargas Rendón, Co-founder & CMO
