Development of Integrated Web Application for Fishery Trading in Indonesia

Indonesia is strategically located and has more sea and water than land, so it has a huge potential for marine fishery resources. The potential for implementing the Blue Economy in Indonesia is very wide open. The Blue Economy is a way of thinking about development that is based on the economic value of Indonesia's marine resources. This adds value to the supply chain, directly or indirectly, and could improve people's lives. However, we know that fishermen have a weak bargaining position in selling their fish catch, sometimes sold through mediators/bonded money systems or directly at fish auctions/TPI without going through an auction. Because of this, fishermen and fishermen's cooperatives need an open-source software application to help them track and report their finances, such as the number of fish caught, sales, loans (debt), expenses, and profits. This study aims to show an application called Electronic Fish Solution that can keep track of and report on entities and business processes in fishermen's cooperatives and fishing businesses. This research develops a prototype of a fishing trading application to make it easier for fishers to market their catch. In software development, the research method is based on prototyping and testing usability with the UAT (User Acceptance Testing). This study used a web-based app that can be easily accessed from computers and phones. The UAT score was analyzed and calculated, and the result was 77.25. This means that the fisherman's app works perfectly and can be accepted by users.
