Abstract

One of the business models that is developing now is doing business through Android-based smartphone
applications. Android is a new generation of mobile platform, a platform that gives developers the ability to develop
according to their expectations. So many business people are switching to Android applications, including the climbing
equipment rental business. The problem in this research is that the community, especially prospective climbers, currently
still have difficulty finding information on renting climbing equipment and Polahi Adventure still has problems in the
process of collecting data on incoming and outgoing equipment because all transactions are carried out using books, so it
takes time and is less effective. in the reporting process. The design of an Android smartphone-based climbing equipment
rental application can provide equipment and ordering information to users, especially prospective climbers, with various
features in the application, namely equipment features, chart features for rental applications and chat features for
communicating with Polahi Adventure. The development method used is the waterfall system development method, which
includes the stages of needs analysis, system design, implementation, testing and maintenance. This application is designed
with main features such as searching and ordering equipment, real-time stock management, order status notifications, and
an integrated payment system. Test results show that this application is able to increase the efficiency of the rental process,
make it easier for users to make orders, and provide accurate information regarding equipment availability. This application
not only makes it easier for customers to rent climbing equipment, but also helps Polahi Adventure manage its business
more effectively and efficiently. This research ends with the conclusion that the application developed can be well received
by users and has the potential to be developed further by adding additional features according to market needs
