INFORMATION SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT FOR WEB-BASED URSKYND SKINCARE E-COMMERCE USING RAPID APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT METHOD

Abstract

The rapid advancement of information technology has accelerated the adoption of digital solutions across various business sectors, particularly through web-based e-commerce systems. This study aims to design and develop a web-based e-commerce information system for URSKYND Skincare using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method, which emphasizes rapid development cycles, iterative prototyping, and continuous user involvement to support dynamic business needs.The research methodology consists of requirements planning, RAD design workshop, and implementation stages. System requirements were identified through observation and stakeholder discussions, while system design was modeled using Unified Modeling Language (UML). The developed system implements core e-commerce features such as user authentication, product management, shopping cart, order processing, invoice generation, and customer ratings. The results show that the system effectively improves transaction efficiency, data management accuracy, and user experience, demonstrating that the RAD method is suitable and effective for developing web-based e-commerce systems for small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly in the skincare industry.
