Abstract
Delivering milkfish pond products to industries, restaurants or end consumers should be done as soon as possible in real time so that the process of milkfish distribution does not take a long time. The middleman’s involvement in the distribution process will require a lot of time and lots of people so that it dramatically affects marketing and price fluctuations. This research has found a solution to minimize the situation that occurs, a website framework with a supply chain concept approach successfully designed. A website with an integrated system can be accessed with an android mobile device to facilitate the process of uploading images of milkfish and other information about milkfish so that it does not require users to use personal computers (PC/laptop), while computer administrators can control the activities of pond farmers in marketing. The results showed that the website was able to connect between fish farmers and industries or restaurants before the results of the milkfish ponds were harvested and provide information about fish weight, fish prices, the location of lakes and order facilities for purchase transactions. If this happens, the middleman’s involvement in marketing begins to decrease, and this will undoubtedly cut the chain of the dependence of the farmer farmers with intermediaries. This is a way to accelerate the marketing process, and increase the income of fish farmers and reduce dependence on intermediaries.
