Abstract

Small and medium business (SMEs) are vulnerable to fraud especially when they have informal processes, unrecorded operating processes, and poor internal controls. The paper will explore the business processes within PT Global Intan Teknido (GIT), a small distributor of industrial instruments, in an attempt to identify areas vulnerable to fraud and develop a suitable fraud prevention system. The qualitative exploratory case study took place through the use of in- depth interviews, first hand observation and analysis of documents of the owner, the sales and finance employees and the customers and the vendors. Business Process Mapping (BPM) was used to represent the As-Is workflow, Fraud Triangle Theory to help evaluate the behavioral drivers, benchmarking to compare practices with others of similar companies, and Fraud Risk Management (FRM) framework as the foundation of creating a Stop-Loss System. The results demonstrate the risk of fraud based on the undocumented requests to personal WhatsApp accounts, the lack of documentation regarding the communication with vendors, issuing quotations not related to the system, purchase orders made not in the system, the creation of the invoice by sales employees, and payment made by customers to personal bank accounts. Opportunity was the prevailing determinant as shown by Fraud Triangle analysis and reinforced by the sales pressure and rationalization pertaining to speed and customer demands. Benchmarking confirms that systemized documentation and systems of multi-level approval of documents will make the fraud exposure significantly less. This paper is informed by these points, hence the proposal of an FRM-based Stop-Loss System, which is comprised of preventive, detective, and corrective controls. The research increases the body of literature on SME fraud prevention through proving the possibility of combining business process analysis and FRM in developing an effective and resource-friendly control mechanism applied to small businesses.

Abstract

This study examines the factors that contribute to inconsistent service quality among freelance tour guides at Timotravel, a newly established Indonesian SME operating in the outbound travel industry. As the company relies heavily on freelancers due to financial constraints and fluctuating demand, variations in guide competence, destination knowledge, time management, and professionalism have resulted in lower customer satisfaction and reputational risks. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with customers and freelance tour guides who participated in recent tours. The research applies the People, Process, and Technology (PPT) framework combined with Business Process Management (BPM) to analyze root causes and identify improvement pathways. Findings reveal three major sources of service variability: (1) people-related issues, including insufficient soft skills, limited destination knowledge, and lack of standardized competency requirements; (2) process-related weaknesses, such as incomplete or non-contextual SOPs that fail to guide real-time decision-making; and (3) technology-related gaps, including the absence of integrated systems for briefing, feedback collection, and knowledge sharing. The analysis highlights that inconsistencies are not solely the result of individual shortcomings but stem from systemic misalignment within Timotravel’s service design. Based on these findings, this research proposes an integrated improvement model consisting of enhanced competency training, redesigned SOPs aligned with BPM Level 1–3 process mapping, and the implementation of basic technological support tools such as CRM-driven feedback tracking and digital guide briefings. These recommendations are expected to improve service consistency, optimize operational performance, and strengthen customer satisfaction. The study contributes to service science literature by demonstrating how a PPT-driven approach can be applied to SMEs with limited resources to standardize service delivery while leveraging freelance-based human resources.
