Abstract

Information asymmetry in the offline retail market imposes substantial "search costs" on purchasing professionals, who frequently lack visibility into real-time product availability across physical stores. Existing solutions, such as generic store locators, fail to provide inventory context, while traditional e-commerce platforms are unable to meet immediate, same-day procurement needs due to logistical delays. This research addresses this gap by developing a Real-Time Location-Aware mobile artifact aimed at optimizing offline procurement efficiency in Batam City. Grounded in Design Science Research (DSR), the system employs a short-polling architecture implemented via Expo (React Native), Express.js, and PostgreSQL to ensure data freshness. Technical performance testing validated the system's "Near Real-Time" capabilities, achieving an average API response time of 180 ms and a stable synchronization interval of 5 seconds under 4G network conditions. Furthermore, a usability evaluation involving 40 purchasing professionals yielded an average System Usability Scale (SUS) score of 71.81, categorizing the application as "Good." These results empirically demonstrate that lightweight polling architectures can effectively mitigate cognitive load and search latency, offering a scalable software engineering solution for the "Offline-to-Offline" (O2O) retail sector.

Abstract

Traditional voting methods in competitions often face challenges related to transparency and fraud, undermining fairness. This research presents the design and implementation of a hybrid e-voting system built on Ethereum blockchain technology to mitigate these issues. Specifically, this research integrates an off-chain HMAC-SHA256 privacy mechanism with Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus to ensure that voting records remain immutable and publicly auditable, while preserving voter anonymity. A prototype was developed using a decentralized architecture, leveraging smart contracts to automate the entire electoral process from registration to tallying. An evaluation involving 153 participants based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) demonstrated high user acceptance, with scores of 76.6% for Perceived Usefulness, 73.4% for Perceived Ease of Use, and 72.8% for Acceptance of Technology. Although the system demonstrates effectiveness in competitive settings, current testing is limited to small- to medium-scale implementations. This research concludes that the proposed framework provides a secure, transparent, and efficient alternative for competitions, significantly enhancing trust in the election outcomes.
