Last-Mile-Delivery System: IoT Lockbox with Temperature Control

Designed to preserve medications and food delivered to consumers and save retailers millions in contactless delivery, the product appeared on Shark Tank on April 2.

The system, which has not launched yet commercially, is courier agnostic so that any delivery service, grocery pharmacy, big box retailer, or friend or family member can leave deliveries in the secure, temperature controlled lock-box.

DynoSafe, a climate-controlled, IoT enabled lockbox, appeared on ABC’s entrepreneurial-themed reality show, Shark Tank, Friday, April 2.  The show sees 40,000 applicants apply each season, and DynoSafe made the cut as an opportunity to address the “last-mile” in deliveries, the actual placement of goods on a consumer’s front porch. Unattended items are prone to theft from porch pirates or damage from the elements. These “last-mile” problems cost retailers millions and frustrates consumers: more than 1.7 million packages are reported stolen, lost or spoiled, at a cost of at least $25 million, every day. A deal was made with Robert Herjavec during their appearance, noting promise if the patent holds up.

“I was inspired to create DynoSafe as a solution for veterans suffering from PTSD and other disabilities that find going to the grocery store or pharmacy difficult,” said Rebecca Romanucci, CEO and founder, DynoSafe. “I saw many veterans receiving home deliveries for food medication that must be stored at an appropriate temperature to ensure their integrity remains safe for consumption and use. In the Arizona heat, this meant they were waiting by the door for hours to accept their package. Then in 2020 when the pandemic hit and general adoption of e-grocery skyrocketed, I knew DynoSafe was the solution that consumers and retailers alike have been looking for to ensure safe, temperature controlled, contactless home delivery.”

The company reports that DynoSafe is one of the only patented options on the market that integrates with a smartphone app, giving consumers the ability to lock/unlock, set and change temperatures, and to remotely assign names and temperature settings to one-time use codes.
