The development of project monitoring information system (Case study: PT Tetapundi Prima Kelola)

PT Tetapundi Prima Kelola (TPK) is a small information technology company located in Jakarta established in 2012 to bridge the technology gap between Indonesia and other Asian countries, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. The customers of this company come from various locations in or outside Jakarta capital city. Owing to several obstacles to monitor any particular project progress, this company needs a system to connect Technicians, Sales Department Staffs, and Manager of Sales Department for transforming the project progress data into project progress information. As a result, project-monitoring systems can be employed in this company, where Web-based system can help the Sales Department staff to create project progress, which can be easily previewed by the Manager of Sales Department. The creation of database in this system can help the user to store data and information for the order details and project progress. Waterfall Model is used in developing this information system of project monitoring. The design of the system used is a notation of Unified Modeling Language (UML). In the implementation phase, system coding is done using PHP and MySQL, and blackbox testing is conducted to test the system. The outcome of this research is a system design that could help the Manager of Sales Department at PT TPK in monitoring a particular project progress.
