UNS — Untal or digital invitation was developed as a business idea by three students of Diploma Program (D-3) in Informatics Engineering (TI) Vocational School (SV) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta. Through this business plan, the team won 1st prize in the Business Plan Competition “Millenials Creative Entrepreneur of Digital Marketing”, Saturday (19/6/2021).
Untal is an adaptive business concept amid the Covid-19 pandemic proposed by Adila Arya Kusumastuti, Daffa Mudia Athifah, and Destya Vinka Wahyu Rosa Adinda in “Tim Angels”. Their business proposal titled “The Application of Website as Digital Invitation Production Process in the Millennials Era” was developed based on three backgrounds, including the number of firms that perform innovation through the use of information technology and the internet.
“We also see the number of benefits for firms that utilize information technology advancement and the internet. Particularly, due to the Covid-19 pandemic that brings limitations to people activities,” Daffa Mudia Athifah explained.
Under the supervision of Yudho Yudhanto S. Kom., M. Kom, Tim Angels saw the opportunity of digital invitation business and considered the benefits of such invitation. “Such as reducing outdoor activities. With the digital invitation, the distribution is easier because it can be done through email, link, or WhatsApp,” Daffa Mudia Athifah said.
The preparation for Untal took two weeks because the team started from finding references and shared the proposal works among team members. The preparation process was held fully online because each member lives in a different city. The team also conducted the preparation during their final semester exam, which according to Daffa Mudia Athifah, did not affect their seriousness in preparing the proposal.
“We need to manage our time to work on the proposal while doing assignments and preparation for final semester examination. We need to manage our focus,” she said.
With their achievement, Daffa Mudia Athifah stated that Tim Angels is preparing to put their proposal into real business to help community members preparing digital invitations through their website. “After winning this (competition), we hope to develop our digital invitation website design further so that other people could feel the benefits,” she concluded.
