Development of an Information System with an Herbal Databaseof East Java Suppliers and Distributors

The development of an information system with an herbal database of East Java suppliers and distributors is necessary because the production and marketing activities of small businesses engaged in traditional medicine (UKOT) in Indonesia are heavily reliant on the choice and availability of distributors of herbal products and raw materials. Data were gathered via an interview with the Responsible Pharmacist (APJ) and documentation on PT X's records. Subsequently, the completed data generated from the chosen documentation was entered into the database which a component of PT X's internal information system. The analysis was conducted on PT X's internal database, with an emphasis on its completeness, correctness, and accessibility. Data preparation resulted in a number of suppliers (43 simplicia, 31 excipients and 13 packaging) and 80 distributors of finished products in East Java, which were entered into the PT X database. This result was obtained by 80% of data completeness evaluation ranges. All respondents properly answered questions about data about finished product suppliers and distributors from PT X's internal information system database. Ninety-three percent of respondents agree that the database in PT X's information system is very easy to access in terms of data display, language, and search feature functions
