The Fresh Portal™ will help our customers harness all emerging delivery options, to the benefit of keeping their families healthier and safer. The Fresh Portal’s™ new technology will facilitate a direct-to-consumer and eco-friendly supply-chain by inspiring concepts like farm-to-table, improving freshness and reducing single-use waste. 

The Fresh Portal™ Story

The Fresh Portal™ idea came to life in 2015 when three professionals in the Carmel, California luxury building market were trying to design a fresh food delivery solution so their customers could focus on enjoying the weather rather than running for groceries. We envisioned Fresh Portal™ owners waking up to freshly brewed Carmel Roasting Co. cappucino delivered and ready to be enjoyed. This was at a time when food delivery services were just emerging and before Amazon came out with their locker program. Since then, Fresh Portal™ has been fully designed, we have applied and been granted a patent, secured a local engineering firm, designed the software and PCB behind the product and now we are seeking to raise funds for the production-ready-prototype and we will then begin shipping and installations.

How Fresh Portal™ Works

Fresh Portal™ is an appliance installed into an exterior wall of your home or office. A securely locked exterior door is accessible to delivery persons using a unique one-time access-code sent to their device over your existing WiFi network. A locked interior door gives you personal access to the delivery products. Fresh Portal™ has the ability to safely control temperature based on the needs of the particular delivery – your meals can be kept cool or warm and you can adjust the temperature so that your temperature sensitive medications or packages can be kept safe. Fresh Portal™ units are designed with two temperature zones. In a single delivery you can have hot pizza in one zone and cold beverages in another. The Far-UVC disinfection light cycle automatically runs every time a delivery occurs. 

Reduced contact delivery keeps you healthier.

Fresh Portal’s™ ability to receive deliveries when you’re not home gives you peace of mind. You control everything from an app on your personal smart device. Notifications and live video allow you to monitor activity whenever activity occurs.

Fresh Portal™ Construction & Durability

The patented design of the Fresh Portal™ has three main components.  

Mount Box

Interior Door

Exterior Door

The mount box is permanently installed. It is made of the highest quality stainless steel and is corrosion resistive. The mount box contains zero moving parts – it will stand the test of time!

The interior and exterior door components include all of the Fresh Portal™ mechanical features. These parts are made of the most durable powder coated steel. They are the moving pieces of the Fresh Portal™ and, as such, may wear out over time. A manufacturer warranty will be available and replacement parts will be available.

How is Fresh Portal™ Installed?

Fresh Portal™ installation is much like adding a window to your home. 

A certified Fresh Portal™ installer cuts a template into your interior and exterior wall finishes between stud bays (or similar for masonry) using dust mitigation technology. The mount box is inserted and affixed and then insulated and waterproofed just like a window. We attach the interior component and the exterior component, together accounting for 100% of the moving parts. The Fresh Portal’s™ weather-proof seal is tested and perfected. Your installer will then power it on, connect it to your wifi and you will download and install the Fresh Portal™ app to your preferred devices. Once paired with your devices, your installation is complete. You can customize your Fresh Portal™ app settings and then simply enjoy.

How will the Fresh Portal™ app Integrate with Food Delivery Providers?

The Fresh Portal™ app will be your go-to app for food delivery – whether it’s fresh groceries or prepared foods. Within the Fresh Portal™ app you will have access to local farmers, grocers, restaurants and established food delivery providers. As our technology matures, we’ll continue streamlining vendor-partner communication with the goal of providing the one-click ‘Deliver to my Fresh Portal™’ option. 

For example, within the Fresh Portal™ app, order dinner by searching for your favorite restaurant, place your order and adjust the temperature zones. The app will notify the restaurant of your order and then provide a one time access code to be shared with the delivery driver. The driver uses the one time access code manually or the wifi and Bluetooth technology automatically open your Fresh Portal™ door as he approaches. He places your dinner inside the Fresh Portal™, he taps the door to auto close and he leaves (it will auto close if he forgot). You get a push notification that the Fresh Portal™ door has closed and your food has been delivered. Once the door is closed, the Fresh Portal™ runs a UVC light pulse to disinfect the package surface. You can even view your food with interior cameras so enjoy the rest of your leisure walk or stay on that call with your Mom a while longer, all while having the peace of mind that your food is safe inside your Fresh Portal™.

Why do I need a Fresh Portal™?

Convenience. It’s that simple.

Help Fresh Portal™ Advance From Concept to Shipping!

The Fresh Portal™ is turn-key and ready for production. We are raising $100,000 to work with our Berkley, CA engineering firm to refine the production-ready-prototype specifications (BOM).

What we’ve accomplished so far:

• Applied for and been granted a patent (USTPO Patent No. 10729265.7).
• Commissioned a market research study by Burke Market Research with exceptional results.
• Designed the environmental control (heating, cooling & humidity).
• Designed the electronic chip hardware (PCB).
• Obtained an Engineering firm in Berkeley, CA, that is ready to refine the production-ready-prototype specifications (BOM).
• Used our patented specifications to 3D print a scaled-down version of the hardware for proof-of-concept.
• Consulted with manufacturers to confirm each part can be sourced and manufactured at high volume.
• We have a Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement signed with Amazon and Amazon Key and continue to update our progress schedule.

   

What your contribution will help us accomplish next:

• We will fine tune our production ready prototype, 
• We will select the final colors and finish details.
• We will instruct our manufacturer to begin tooling for the first production run.
• We will train licensed general contractors on the installation protocol.
• We will approach wholesalers and home builders and work on getting our New-Home Model pre-installed in the modern homes built today.

We expect a timeline of 3-12 months for the prototype stage, and then only 60-120 days for the manufacturing stage. Our Berkeley, CA firm is capable of domestically producing up to 10,000 units per year economically. As sales exceed their abilities, larger manufacturing options will be utilized, and our costs will decrease without compromise to quality.
