What drives Portal? We’re on a mission to make every stay - hotel room, apartment or villa - feel friction‑free and memorable.
01
Design Excellence
Better by Design. Red Dot & Good Design Gold aren’t stickers—they’re proof that intuitive, elegant hardware can also be rock‑solid. We obsess over the details guests feel, but never notice.
02
Choice
Any Door. Installed by Anyone. Pandemic lessons were clear: low‑touch beats locked‑in. We can upgrade any electronic lock with Module + install the SmartLock PRO on any door - removing third party dependencies and unecessary costs.
03
Sustainable
Retrofit, don’t landfill. Module revives existing locks, cutting tonnes of e‑waste and 20 kg CO₂ per door. Better for the planet and the P&L.
04
Connection
More hello, less admin. Automating key‑coding, late‑night lockouts and audits, Portal frees teams to focus on what matters. The Guest.
