Design and Development of a Marketing and Educational Information System for Oyster Mushroom Cultivation Using a Rule-Based Method

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to develop an oyster mushroom marketing and cultivation education information system integrating baglog transactions with rule-based maintenance consultation. Method: The system was developed using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method. Data were collected through observation, interviews with farm managers and farmers, and literature studies. The system consists of a customer mobile application and an administrator web dashboard, providing product catalogs, transactions, educational articles, and consultation features based on temperature, humidity, placement, and lighting parameters. Evaluation involved nine functional testing scenarios and two environmental simulations. Results: All nine functional scenarios produced the expected outputs, resulting in a functional testing success rate of 100%. The two simulations generated different maintenance recommendations based on temperature and ventilation conditions. Conclusion: Tiramku successfully integrated marketing and cultivation consultation functions within the tested scenarios. The 100% result represents functional testing success rather than agronomic recommendation accuracy. Therefore, expert validation and field evaluation are still required.
