Abstract
Cooperatives serve an important social and economic function in Indonesia for the organizations and people in charge of their management. A robust information system is required for the financial recording system to operate transparently and efficiently, given how crucial it is for cooperatives and farmers to collaborate. Utilizing the existing advanced technology through digitalization is one of the potential initiatives. This study aims to develop a digital recording instrument that smallholder dairy farmers can use to obtain an up-to-date business evaluation. The Waterfall methodology comprises five phases: analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance, and it was used to construct the financial recording system utilizing an Android 5.0-based smartphone application. The research demonstrates functional and non-functional requirements for the infrastructure supporting the dairy farm^s financial recording system. It was determined to explain the functions and properties of the system that was being designed. In addition, use case diagrams are utilized to describe the interactions between actors and information systems in the past. The interface implementation process was illustrated using an Android application. All user page features, including the login procedure, profile modifications, milk deposit and milk quality input, and invoices, were evaluated at this level. The test findings revealed some intriguing outcomes, with all features being assessed to produce the desired result. Additionally, the user test highlighted that 80% of users are completely satisfied with the support features of this application. Users have overwhelmingly agreed that this program generates information that is accurate and easily accessible.
