<![CDATA[Selecting an appropriate inventory management application is a challenge for business actors, especially SMEs, due to the variety of features, costs, and complexities offered. Manual selection is often carried out without a clear systematic approach and tends to be influenced by bias, resulting in suboptimal decisions. This study aims to integrate the Rank Order Centroid (ROC) and Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) approaches in developing a Decision Support System (DSS) to determine the best inventory management application. ROC is used to assign proportional weights to criteria based on priority ranking, while ARAS evaluates alternatives using these weights and relative utility values against the ideal solution. The developed system includes key features such as data management for criteria, alternatives, and values, as well as the ability to generate recommendations through alternative ranking. Based on a case study, the best alternative identified is Sortly: Inventory Simplified, with the highest utility score of 0.8627, followed by Housebook - Home Inventory (0.8528), inFlow Inventory (0.8336), and Inventory Stock Tracker (0.7056). Usability testing showed an average user acceptance rate of 91%, categorized as "Excellent". The main contribution of this research is the implementation of a practical and efficient combination of ROC and ARAS for selecting inventory management applications. The findings can be adopted by businesses to support more accurate and efficient decision-making.]]>
