Perancangan UI/ UX Untuk Website Kasir Toko Sembako Agung Berbasis Prototype Menggunakan Metode Design Thinking

Introduction

Perancangan ui/ ux untuk website kasir toko sembako agung berbasis prototype menggunakan metode design thinking. Rancang UI/UX website kasir toko sembako Agung berbasis prototype dengan Design Thinking. Solusi efisien untuk pencatatan transaksi & manajemen stok, mengurangi kesalahan manual.

Abstract

Toko Sembako Agung faces challenges in recording transactions that are still done manually, which has the potential to cause errors in calculating and managing stock. To overcome this problem, this study aims to design a user interface (Ui) and user experience (Ux) for a prototype-based cashier website using the Design Thinking method. The Design Thinking method is applied through five main stages, namely Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. In the Empathize stage, observations and interviews were conducted with users, namely cashiers and shop owners, to understand the needs and obstacles faced. The results of the study show that the application of the Design Thinking method in designing UI/UX is able to produce a cashier system design that is more user-friendly, efficient, and easy to use. This cashier website has main features such as transaction recording, stock management, and sales report generation. Testing of the prototype shows that the designed system can increase transaction efficiency and reduce recording errors compared to the manual method. Thus, UI/UX design based on the Design Thinking method can be an effective solution in developing a more optimal cashier system for grocery stores. Recommendations for further research are to develop this prototype into a system integrated with a real-time database and improve the security aspects of transaction data.

Review

This study effectively addresses a pertinent real-world problem faced by Toko Sembako Agung, namely the inefficiencies and errors associated with manual transaction recording and stock management. The paper proposes a user-centric solution through the design of a UI/UX for a prototype-based cashier website. The chosen methodology, Design Thinking, is particularly appropriate for this task, systematically guiding the development process from understanding user needs (Empathize, Define) to generating and validating solutions (Ideate, Prototype, Test). The research successfully articulates the stages followed and the primary features of the proposed system, including transaction recording, stock management, and sales report generation, indicating a comprehensive approach to the core challenges. A significant strength of this work lies in its practical application of the Design Thinking method, which demonstrably leads to a more user-friendly, efficient, and easy-to-use cashier system design. The direct engagement with users (cashiers and shop owners) during the Empathize stage is commendable, ensuring that the resulting prototype is genuinely tailored to their specific needs and pain points. The reported outcomes, such as increased transaction efficiency and reduced recording errors compared to manual methods, provide compelling evidence of the prototype's potential value. This initial validation underscores the efficacy of applying a structured UI/UX design process to solve operational challenges in small businesses, contributing to both practical knowledge and the application of human-centered design principles. While the study presents a promising prototype and a robust design methodology, it naturally faces limitations inherent to its scope. The primary output is a *prototype*, and its full potential remains to be realized in a live environment. The abstract thoughtfully provides crucial recommendations for further research, specifically advocating for the development of the prototype into a system integrated with a real-time database and improving the security aspects of transaction data. These are vital next steps for transforming the conceptual design into a fully functional and secure operational system. Future work could also consider scalability, potential integration with other business tools, and a more extensive user testing phase in a live setting to gather deeper insights into long-term usability and impact.
