Never forget a toothbrush again with ZUJI's Packman app

SINGAPORE – 15 March 2012 – Known as Packman, ZUJI's innovative app helps travellers organise their itinerary, coordinate their holiday packing and connect with fellow travel partners. Available for free from the iTunes store, the app enables travellers to create multiple packing lists, share travel schedules, set personal reminders to complete holiday errands, assign trip mates packing lists and see what others are packing.

ZUJI managing director Asia Pacific James Gaskell says Packman's simplicity and ease of use has already made it a winner with travellers.

"Packman turns your mobile device into a complete holiday management tool and effectively removes much of the headaches people commonly have when packing. It's fast, simple and easy to put together a list, share it with your friends and get out the door, safe with the knowledge that nothing has been left to chance," says Gaskell.

"Holiday packing is an integral step of the journey and the ZUJI Packman is designed to help organise this process whilst making travel planning fun and more efficient. It really encapsulates our company’s vision of empowering individuals on their travels."

Since launching last month, the app has been downloaded more than 3,600 times.

ZUJI Packman is available in Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong, with an Android version to launch soon.

In a recent Facebook survey, ZUJI customers admitting to regularly leaving toothbrushes, cameras, sunscreen, socks and – in rare occasions – passports sitting at home as they set out on holiday.
