For this reason, the movement of “Belabeli Produk Mahasiswa” (Bedukmawa) offers solutions to millennial generation the entrepreneurial challenges. Bedukmawa is an entrepreneurial movement based on demand-pull or pulling needs with incentives from the campus to encourage the buying movement by students to other students, so that with this transaction movement there will be a producing and selling movement naturally. The producing and marketing actions are the atmosphere that is raised on campus so that the university has a role in making it happen by providing stimulative funds for it. Bedukmutu is a web-based application that uses the concept of IoT (Internet of Things) that upholds convenience and public acceptance for millennial generation students.
