My Merchant Pertamina Order Management application is a comprehensive suite of mobile apps tailored for kiosk owners, seamlessly managing incoming orders for a range of Pertamina products, including fuel, LPG, vehicle lubricants, and other kiosk items, while also facilitating efficient delivery order services.

ABOUT COMPANY

Pertamina (Persero) is Indonesia’s state-owned enterprise responsible for managing the country’s energy resources. Pertamina operates an extensive distribution network including SPBU (gas stations), Pertashop, LPG agents, and various B2B channels.

FINAL DESIGN

CHALENGGES

Key Challenges in Merchant Order Operations

The main problems that became my reference in making this application design are as follows
Operational Challenges in Merchant Order Management

Pertamina merchants handle multiple product types through fragmented ordering channels, leading to inefficiencies, order mismanagement, and poor visibility into delivery status, while existing systems lack tools for daily operational order management.

Business Challenges in Merchant Order Operations

Pertamina faces low visibility into merchant orders, inefficient fulfillment processes, and heavy reliance on manual coordination, limiting scalability and impacting service reliability, merchant satisfaction, and brand trust.

Merchant Challenges in Daily Order Operations

Merchants struggle with order tracking due to the lack of a single source of truth, relying on manual coordination for deliveries and risking missed or duplicated orders during peak hours.

PROJECT GOALS

Centralizing and Simplifying Merchant Order Operations

How might we help Pertamina merchants manage multi-product orders and delivery processes more efficiently in one unified, easy-to-use system without increasing operational complexity?

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS + THE GAP

Market Learnings & Opportunities for Pertamina

USER INTERVIEW

Analysis of User Interview Results

To gain a deeper understanding of user behavior within the market, and due to limited timeline and budget, the research was conducted through merchant partners.
Key Insight: After collecting the survey results, I listed 3 key findings. Here's what was decided after discussing the survey results
Fragmented and Manual Order Management

The absence of a centralized order tracking system forces merchants to rely on manual records and scattered communication channels, increasing errors and eliminating reliable order history.

Inventory Visibility and Planning Challenges

Lack of real-time stock data and manual tracking make demand forecasting inaccurate, leading to overstocking, understocking, and time-consuming inventory management.

Customer Communication Challenges

Manual updates and the lack of automated notifications result in slow response times and inconsistent, less professional customer communication.

IDEATION

Collect Insight & Brainstorming

During an hour long "brainjam" session with the Product Manager. We identified three main focus areas to be implemented in this project.
Creating a Single Source of Truth for Order Management

Centralizing all orders into one dashboard enables clear status tracking, reduces errors from fragmented channels, and improves customer satisfaction and repeat orders.

Optimizing Revenue Through Inventory Visibility

Real-time inventory dashboards and predictive restocking alerts help prevent stockouts and overstocking, increasing sales, reducing waste, and improving cash flow.

Eliminating Delivery Bottlenecks Through Automation

Automated driver assignment, delivery tracking, and customer updates reduce operational workload, increase delivery capacity, and drive direct revenue growth.
