Top 10 Finalist & 1st Honorable Mention — Lomba Inovasi Daerah Masyarakat Berbasis Teknologi Tepat Guna (TTG) Kategori Digitalisasi Pembayaran
We built DIGICAKRA —a CMS‑powered digital platform that modernizes Fotocopy Cakrawala’s ordering and service workflow. The solution delivers: - Online document‑printing orders - QRIS‑based digital payments - Real‑time order tracking - A comprehensive office‑stationery (ATK) catalog and ordering system - Digital loyalty stamps and rewards Our objective was more than a website; we aimed to create a practical tool that enhances customer experience while streamlining business operations. This project sharpened our skills in product development, problem‑solving, teamwork, UI/UX, and translating real‑world needs into a functional digital product.


Thrilled to announce that our team was selected as one of the Top 10 finalists and earned a 1st Honorable Mention (Harapan 1) in the Lomba Inovasi Daerah Masyarakat Berbasis Teknologi Tepat Guna (TTG), Digitalisasi Pembayaran category.
For this challenge we built DIGICAKRA —a CMS‑powered digital platform that modernizes Fotocopy Cakrawala’s ordering and service workflow. The solution delivers online document‑printing orders, QRIS‑based payments, real‑time order tracking, a comprehensive office‑stationery catalog, and digital loyalty stamps—all designed to elevate customer experience while streamlining operations.
From Paper to Pixels: The Challenge
Fotocopy Cakrawala struggled with manual order slips, cash‑only transactions, and a fragmented inventory system. Our goal was to replace the legacy workflow with a single, intuitive interface that could be accessed from any device. By leveraging a headless CMS and a responsive front‑end built with React, we turned a chaotic process into a smooth, end‑to‑end digital experience.
Architecture & Features: Building DIGICAKRA - CMS‑Backed Order Management – Contentful powers dynamic templates for print jobs, allowing staff to update pricing and availability instantly. - QRIS Payment Integration – Customers pay via QR code, reducing cash handling and providing instant transaction receipts. - Real‑Time Tracking – WebSocket‑based updates let users see the status of their print job from submission to pickup. - ATK Catalog & Cart – A searchable, filter‑rich catalog of office supplies with bulk‑order discounts. - Digital Loyalty System – Gamified stamps unlock rewards, encouraging repeat business and data collection for future personalization.
Collaboration & Iteration: Team Dynamics The project was a true cross‑disciplinary effort. Product managers mapped user journeys, designers iterated on low‑fidelity wireframes, and developers implemented a micro‑services architecture with Node.js and PostgreSQL. Weekly sprint reviews with the client ensured that every feature met real‑world needs, while pair‑programming sessions accelerated bug fixes and knowledge sharing.
Key Takeaways 1. User‑Centric Design Wins – Iterative prototyping with real customers uncovered pain points that a purely technical solution would miss. 2. Modular Architecture Scales – Decoupling the payment gateway and inventory modules allowed us to swap components without redeploying the entire stack. 3. Data‑Driven Loyalty – Tracking stamp usage provided actionable insights for targeted promotions and inventory forecasting. 4.Team Synergy Matters – Regular cross‑team stand‑ups kept the project on schedule and aligned everyone toward the same vision. 5. Recognition Fuels Growth – Being a Top 10 finalist validates our approach and motivates us to tackle even more ambitious projects.
I’m proud to carry this achievement forward and excited to see DIGICAKRA transform how Fotocopy Cakrawala serves its community. 🚀
