The Design of Goods Data Storage Application based on Android using Barcode Scanner

Abstract

Currently, technology and information system undergoes developing process rapidly. The meeting of information need is also very important, especially since the information produced contains useful, fast, and accurate value. Therefore, anyone who uses this information can deal with various occurring problems. An application is a very important thing to support various issues, one of which is in terms of goods data information systems. The use of data information system application is not only an automation process for accessing information, but also provides speed, accuracy, and completeness of an application system. The reality in the real life, especially for the middle to lower class entrepreneurs, shows that there are lacks of efficient and accurate data information system application. A store that still doesn't have the application is Toko Irawan. Toko Irawan is a department store that sells various kinds of home needs. This shop is still doing a manual recording, namely by recording the name of the item and its price in a notebook. Moreover, when the large number of items was being sold, they sometimes forgot the price of certain items. Therefore, an Android-based goods data storage application was designed using a Barcode Scanner to simplify checking names and prices of goods process easily and quickly. This application is designed based on Android using the App Inventor, so that the shop owner can input goods data and prices easily via a smartphone.
