DESIGN OF AN ANDROID-BASED DIGITAL FINANCIAL RECORDING SYSTEM: A CASE STUDY OF BRILINK KAHIYANG AGENTS IN SUKARAJA

Abstract

The development of digital technology encourages the need for an efficient and inte- grated financial recording system, especially for BRILink agents in rural areas such as BRILink Kahiyang agents in Sukaraja. The main problem faced is the recording of financial transactions that are still done manually, so there is often data loss, recording errors, and delays in making financial statements. Another emerging issue is the low literacy of digital agencies and limited technological infrastructure. Analysis of the problem shows that the manual system has not been able to meet the need for efficiency, accuracy, and transparency in day-to-day financial man- agement. As a solution, this study designed an Android-based digital financial recording system that is easily accessible and used by BRILink Kahiyang agents in Sukaraja. This system is ex- pected to automate transaction recording, minimize input errors, and provide real-time and structured financial reports. The research method used is the Waterfall model which includes the stages of Needs Analysis, System Design, Implementation, testing, and maintenance. Data col- lection was conducted through observation and interviews to determine the needs and con- straints of users directly. In the system design process, various tools are used such as Android Studio for application development, SQLite for local database management, and UML (Unified Modeling Language) for system modeling with use Case, Activity, Sequence, and Class dia- grams. The system designed includes transaction recording features, automatic report genera- tion, and data security based on login and password. The results of this study are expected to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and transparency of financial records of BRILink Kahiyang agents in Sukaraja, and support digital transformation in the microfinance sector.
