What the study found
The study found that an Android-based beverage sales application prototype had a clear user flow, aligned with user needs, and reached a good level of usability.
Why the authors say this matters
The authors say digital transformation is essential for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to improve competitiveness and operational efficiency, and the study suggests the prototype can support MSME digitalization in Nabire Regency.
What the researchers tested
The researchers designed an Android-based beverage sales application prototype using the Design Thinking approach, which included empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test stages. They used activity diagrams to model business processes and built the prototype in Figma as an interactive visual representation. Usability was checked through limited testing with the Single Ease Question (SEQ) and System Usability Scale (SUS).
What worked and what didn't
The results indicate that the prototype provided a clear user flow, aligned with user needs, and achieved good usability. The abstract does not describe any specific features that did not work well.
What to keep in mind
The study reports a prototype and limited usability testing, not a full implemented application. The available summary does not describe detailed limitations beyond the scope of the prototype and testing.
