Abstract
PT. Bonli Cipta Sejahtera is a company engaged in large-scale pastry producers those quality has been
guaranteed. The resulting products are distributed to distributors, agents and resellers throughout Indonesia.
Constraints experienced in this company is the distribution system that has not been computerized so that it can
slow down the distribution process. Companies need a distribution information system that can handle
distribution problems in order to run smoothly. Interviews and observations are used to collect primary data,
while documentation is used to collect secondary data. The research method uses a structured approach and the
system development method uses a prototype model. The software used to build information systems, among
others: Code Igniter Framework, Bootstrap Framework, XAMPP, Mozilla Firefox, Sublime Text Editor. The
result of this research is an information system that regulates the distribution system to facilitate the work of
the distribution division so that distribution can run more efficiently and data is well organized.

1. Introduction

The technological developments provide considerable influence on an agency or company. Technology can
be used for business processes that run in a company. Technology can provide the desired information from
data that has been processed by information technology. The use of information technology has been widely
used by many companies for transactions and reporting aimed at accelerating and simplifying all business
activities. Information technology is a part of the information system that provides information to support the

accelerate the accuracy of data into useful information (Purnamasari et al., 2014). The use of information
systems in companies that have distribution divisions will help the company in every sales transaction, because
every request for products that comes out will be recorded properly in the database system. With information
systems, business processes in the company can run efficiently, effectively and well organized. The planning
and implementation of information system are very important to business strategies on facilitate every activity
(Damayanti, 2020).
PT. Bonli Cipta Sejahtera, located in Bandung, is one of the companies that produces large-scale pastries
with guaranteed quality. The resulting products are distributed to distributors, agents and resellers throughout
Indonesia. In the business process in this company, there is a distribution system for products through the
distribution division. The products distributed by this company can reach thousands of units with destinations
inside and outside the city per week. Making manual company passport is less effective and inefficient, because
it takes a long time. The process of confirming the sent products is quite long because you have to wait for a
return letter from the courier or an email confirmation from the package service. The duration of reporting is an
obstacle faced by the distribution division because reporting still uses the manual method. Based on the above
