The problem Prepper solves

Preparing for travel can be a tedious task. Often the packing done before a trip turns out to be insufficient especially due to some unforeseen circumstances. Changes in the destination's weather can cause health problems to travellers that are sensitive to those conditions.

Prepper is a solution that can help you prep for your journey. Prepper provides you the functionality to create your custom travel plans for which it provides valuable insights. Knowing beforehand the weather conditions of the travel itinerary can help you pack all the necessary things and medicines. Additionally, Prepper sends you reminders about your medicines and also manages their stock for you.
