Amid rising customer expectations for fast, consistent, and accessible services, business process innovation in marketing and the utilisation of new technology need to be urgently reviewed, as both have the potential to determine customer satisfaction and loyalty. This study aims to analyse the influence of Business Process Innovation in Marketing and New Technology on Customer Satisfaction and Customer Loyalty through Customer Service Optimisation in the context of the marketplace in Makassar City. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research type. The research population consists of marketplace users in Makassar City who have made transactions and used customer services. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a sample size of 320 respondents. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires and analysed using the PLS SEM method with the assistance of SmartPLS to test the measurement model and structural model.

The findings also confirm that customer service optimisation is an important mechanism that bridges the influence of process and technological innovation on satisfaction and loyalty.
