PERANCANGAN SISTEM E-COMMERCE BERBASIS WEB PENJUALAN PRODUK FURNITURE PADA TOKO ALRISON INTERIOR MENGGUNAKAN METODE RAPID APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

Introduction

Perancangan sistem e-commerce berbasis web penjualan produk furniture pada toko alrison interior menggunakan metode rapid application development. Rancang sistem e-commerce web untuk Toko Alrison Interior menggunakan RAD, PHP, MySQL, CodeIgniter 4. Tingkatkan efisiensi penjualan furniture dan jangkauan pasar. UAT berhasil 84,18%.

Abstract

Perkembangan teknologi informasi pada saat ini telah membawa banyak perubahan yang signifikan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari termasuk dalam berbisnis. Toko Alrison Interior masih menggunakan sistem manual dalam pencatatan laporan penjualan, transaksi dan stok barang. Hal ini menyebabkan keterlambatan layanan toko yang diberikan kepada konsumen serta adanya potensi kesalahan dalam pencatatan. Maka dari itu, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memberi solusi dari permasalahan yang sedang dihadapi oleh toko Alrison Interior, penelitian yang dilakukan ini merancang sistem informasi penjualan berbasis web menggunakan metode Rapid Application Development (RAD), kemudian memanfaatkan MySQL sebagai DBMS, bahasa pemrograman PHP, dan framework CodeIgniter 4. Perancangan sistem dilakukan dengan diagram UML (Unified Modelling Language) seperti use case diagram, activity diagram, sequence diagram dan class diagram untuk memvisualisasikan alur proses perancangan sistem. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk meningkatkan efisiensi operasional bisnis toko Alrison Interior dalam penjualan produk furniture, meningkatkan daya saing di bidang industri furniture, dan menciptakan aplikasi berbasis web agar toko Alrison Interior dapat menjangkau konsumen produk furniture atau pasar yang lebih luas. Adapun melalui User Acceptance Testing (UAT), telah berhasil menunjukkan bahwa sistem informasi penjualan yang dirancang menghasilkan persentase keseluruhan sebesar 84,18% sebagai nilai akhir dari pengujian tersebut dan menyimpulkan bahwa sistem ini diterima dengan cukup baik oleh pengguna.

Review

The paper, titled "PERANCANGAN SISTEM E-COMMERCE BERBASIS WEB PENJUALAN PRODUK FURNITURE PADA TOKO ALRISON INTERIOR MENGGUNAKAN METODE RAPID APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT," tackles a common and relevant challenge for small businesses: modernizing traditional, manual operations through technology. The abstract clearly identifies the problem of service delays and potential errors stemming from manual sales, transaction, and inventory management at Toko Alrison Interior. The proposed solution, a web-based e-commerce system, is aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, boosting competitiveness, and expanding market reach, positioning this research as a practical application of information technology to address tangible business needs. Methodologically, the authors employ the Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach, which is often suitable for projects requiring quick development cycles and close user involvement, aligning well with the stated objectives. The selection of PHP, CodeIgniter 4, and MySQL demonstrates the use of a robust and widely-adopted technology stack for web application development, suggesting a practical and potentially maintainable system. A notable strength is the explicit mention of using various UML diagrams (use case, activity, sequence, and class diagrams) to visualize the system's design, indicating a structured and systematic development process. Furthermore, the inclusion of User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with a reported 84.18% overall acceptance rate provides early validation of the system's usability and effectiveness from the end-user's perspective. While the abstract provides a solid overview, the full paper could benefit from further detail in several areas. A more in-depth discussion on the specific challenges encountered during the RAD implementation, especially within the context of the furniture retail business, would add valuable practical insights. Although UAT results are promising, elaborating on the UAT methodology—such as the number and profile of participants, the specific test scenarios, and the criteria for calculating the acceptance percentage—would significantly strengthen the evaluation section. Finally, given this is an e-commerce system, a more explicit discussion on aspects like security measures, scalability considerations for future growth, and long-term maintenance strategies would enhance the paper's completeness and practical implications, moving beyond the functional acceptance.
