The Application of "UMKM Kita" as a Solution to Digitize MSME Financial Administration: a Case Study of UD. Sidosermo Jaya

Abstract

The "UMKM KITA" application aims to be a solution to digitize financial administration for MSMEs, with a case study at UD. Sidosermo Jaya, Surabaya. The background of the research is based on the low digitization and financial bookkeeping of the majority of MSMEs in Indonesia, which causes administrative disorder and a high potential for recording errors. The research uses the Research & Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model approach, including the stages of needs analysis, application design, development, implementation in MSME partners, and evaluation. The results of the study show that the "UMKM KITA" application is able to facilitate the digital financial recording process, automation of financial statements, stock management, and provide good educational and data security features. The implementation of this application at UD. Sidosermo Jaya has a positive impact by facilitating the recording process, accelerating financial evaluation, and increasing the understanding of MSME actors related to financial administration. However, the evaluation also found a need to improve the performance of the application before it is applied more widely. The "UMKM KITA" application is an effective solution for digitizing financial administration and has the potential to be developed in other MSMEs in Indonesia.
