Implementation of Geolocation and e-Payment Technology in the Location Booking Process to Increase Business Potential

Abstract

Minisoccer Kramat Jaya is one of the sports venues located in South Bandung Regency that provides field rental services in various sizes. However, the current manual reservation system causes several problems, such as time-consuming booking processes, difficulties in monitoring field availability online, scheduling errors, and potential loss of transaction data. This study aims to develop a web-based field reservation application integrated with e-payment and geolocation technology to streamline the booking process, provide real-time field availability information, and assist administrators in managing schedules and protecting data. The methods used include observation, interviews, and questionnaires, with the system developed using the Waterfall model. Based on black box testing of 23 features, as well as external evaluation through interviews and questionnaires, the application functions well and meets the specified requirements. The application has been proven to speed up the reservation process to less than 10 minutes (91%), simplify access to field availability information (94%), and reduce the risk of scheduling conflicts and data loss. Furthermore, the integration of e-payment facilitates secure and convenient transactions, while geolocation enables the system to collect and analyze user data based on their registered addresses. The testing results show that geolocation technology works perfectly and provides valuable insights for business owners, enabling them to identify regional demand and strategically plan the opening of new mini soccer branches in areas with the highest booking volumes.
