Moom

Mall in Mobile

Comment 1

Inspiration

Usaha Mikro Kecil Menengah or in short UMKM is one of the economic pillars in Indonesia. UMKM managed to provide more than 60% of the national Gross Domestic Product (PDB) (Kompas, 2019). UMKM contains many Indonesian small businesses ranging from food to non-food businesses such as clothing and other daily needs. Aside from that, small businesses such as UMKM are located in shopping centers or malls all around the nation. In order to empower those who strive in the small business, Moom is here to support the small business in Indonesia.

What it does

Moom is an application that will help match sellers with potential buyers. This application will work as an aggregator on the trading process. This application will make it easier for buyers to find goods with the criteria listed by each seller. This application will give priority to those who are still struggling in the world of microeconomics or small businesses in Indonesia. This application will also be a directory for every buyer when visiting a mall and trade centers that mostly contain small businesses such as traditional markets and wholesale markets. Aside from that, this app will help prospective sellers to market their business and look for empty stalls to run their business. From the seller's perspective, this app will provide the information needed when starting a business such as the average buyers and review the stores around to map out competitors. That information will make it easier for every prospective entrepreneur to set a business strategy and empowerment tool to grow their business.

How I built it

In the beginning, 4 of us were brainstorming about what topics we wanted to choose for this Hackathon. We then decided to tackle the problems in the small business sector. We wanted to build an application that could empower small businesses. In the process, Ancilla contributed to the UI/UX design of this application. Mario worked on the front-end, while Michael worked on the back-end. Meanwhile, Mahardhika was responsible for managing the team and applications.

Challenges I ran into

From the programmer side, we faced difficulties when we integrated the front-end and the back-end. The back-end also failed to be deployed to the server since the programmer’s IP was banned by DigitalOcean. However, we succeeded in delivering every feature that we wanted it to be

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We are proud that we have built an application that will both benefit shop owners and customer. With this application, we can make shop owners more widely known by their customers, and we can also help customers get what they want more easily. We are proud that in the course of around 30 hours, we managed to build all UI/UX design, front-end, and back-end that are all fully functional

What I learned

We learned that building an application needs a balanced amount of time, patience, and skill. We are aware that we might not make the perfect product, but we surely have learned a lot of skills from each other.

What's next for Moom - Mall in Mobile

We will continue to join hackathon and develop more awesome products that will revolutionize the way people live in the future.
