ABSTRACTS

This research discusses the implementation of a web-based sales system at Meishop Cosmetic Store Bekasi using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method as an approach in software development. The purpose of this research is to design and develop a sales system that can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of transactions as well as data management at Meishop Cosmetic Store. The main problem faced by the store was the conventional system that still relied on brochure distribution and direct sales around the store location, which limited the market reach and complicated the processing of sales transaction data, often resulting in data accumulation or loss. This research applied the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method because of its advantages in shorter development cycles, strong user involvement, and the ability to produce prototypes quickly for iterative testing and evaluation. The stages of the research included system requirement analysis, design, development, and implementation. The results show that the designed web-based sales system can provide solutions to the existing problems by enabling customers to conduct product purchase transactions without having to visit the store directly, expanding marketing reach through online media, and assisting the store in processing sales transaction data more systematically. With the system, sales reports can be generated automatically and periodically, minimizing the risk of data loss and improving the accuracy of information. The conclusion of this research is that the application of a web-based sales system using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method at Meishop Cosmetic Store Bekasi proved effective in supporting store operations, providing convenience for customers, and enhancing the efficiency of sales data management.
