KOPTIHUB: A WAREHOUSE APPLICATION PROTOTYPE FROM COOPERATIVE PERS PECTIVE

Effective warehouse management is crucial for ensuring the availability of raw materials and smooth product distribution, particularly at Sentra Industri Kecil Somber (SIKS) Balikpapan, which specializes in soybean-based industries. Manual record-keeping has presented significant challenges, leading to recording errors, stock discrepancies, and delays in raw material procurement. To address these issues, a digital warehouse management prototype, "KoptiHub," was developed using a User-Centered Design (UCD) approach. This approach aimed to enhance inventory tracking efficiency, streamline raw material ordering, and improve overall product distribution. The prototype was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) with 15 cooperative administrators at SIKS Balikpapan. The evaluation yielded an SUS score of 82.17, resulting in an "A" grade, which indicates high usability and strong alignment with user expectations. Compared to previous warehouse management solutions, KoptiHub demonstrates superior usability, particularly in cooperative settings. However, further improvements, such as a simplified user interface and an AI-driven inventory forecasting feature, could enhance efficiency and accessibility. The results suggest that KoptiHub could serve as a scalable model for digitizing warehouse management in MSMEs and cooperatives, aligning with emerging trends in smart inventory management and supply chain optimization.
