Seblak Kobe, a culinary MSME located in Bontang City, still experiences limitations in presenting integrated digital product information, as its promotional activities are not yet supported by a centralized catalog system. This study aims to design and implement a web-based catalog and to analyze its effectiveness in improving product information accessibility. The research employed an action research method using a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The research subjects consisted of the business owner, one employee, one design expert validator, and 30 consumers as respondents. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires administered before and after the implementation of the web-based catalog. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, N-Gain Score calculation, and EPIC Rate analysis. The results indicate that the implementation of a web-based catalog developed using Google Sites significantly improved consumers’ ease, clarity, and speed in accessing product information. Posttest scores showed a significant increase compared to pretest results, with moderate to high effectiveness levels. This study confirms that utilizing a simple web-based platform can serve as a strategic and cost-effective solution to support digital transformation and enhance MSME competitiveness in the digital era.</em></p> Almasari Aksenta Eka Wulandari Syachrul Syachrul Naila Faradila Copyright (c) 2026 Almasari Aksenta, Eka Wulandari, Syachrul Syachrul, Faisal Razak https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-04-14 2026-04-14 4 3 197 211 10.70177/jiem.v4i3.3452 https://research.adra.ac.id/index.php/jiem/article/view/3947 <p>Zakat, as a fundamental Islamic socio-financial instrument, holds significant potential for poverty alleviation in developing nations. However, traditional zakat administration systems remain plagued by inefficiencies in collection, distribution transparency, and beneficiary targeting, limiting their socioeconomic impact This study aims to examine how digitalization of zakat administration systems can enhance operational efficiency and improve poverty alleviation outcomes in developing nations. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a systematic literature review of 87 peer-reviewed studies published between 2010–2024 with comparative case analysis across five developing nations Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sudan that have implemented digital zakat platforms. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and cross-case synthesis. Findings reveal that digitalized zakat systems significantly reduced administrative costs by an average of 34%, improved fund distribution accuracy by 41%, and expanded beneficiary reach by up to 58% compared to conventional systems. Digital platforms also enhanced donor trust through real-time tracking and automated reporting mechanisms. Digitalization substantially transforms zakat administration by bridging institutional gaps, reducing leakages, and accelerating poverty reduction. Strategic investment in digital infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and digital literacy among stakeholders is critical for sustainable implementation in developing nations.</p> Harun Masykur Sabik Khumaini Muhammad Nurzansyah Arif Hossain Copyright (c) 2026 Harun Masykur, Sabik Khumaini, Muhammad Nurzansyah, Arif Hossain https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-06-19 2026-06-19 4 3 212 229 10.70177/jiem.v4i3.3947
