E-Marketplace Prototype for Tailor and Confection SMEs in Indonesia

Abstract

The field of e-commerce is currently on the rise, but it has not been able to be enjoyed by the majority of SME tailors and confection in Indonesia. On the contrary, fashion is one of the most purchased items via e-commerce. Inability of SME human resources to adopt e-commerce makes ordering erratic and causes their living far from prosperity. Customers also feel some dilemma when buying clothing online, for example, the items purchased are not as good those at picture gallery. Another problem the customer is often confusion in determining the tailor or confection when making clothing directly. Doing it in the city is expensive, whereas doing it in the village leading to poor quality. To overcome this, the need to develop a system of e-marketplace specifically for SMEs of tailor and confection. The development of this system is based on the analysis of problems and needs. This analysis is obtained by directly interviewing the twenty-four SMEs tailors and confection. The developed system has been tested using functional testing and UAT (User Acceptance Test).
