As time goes by and times change, various changes accompany our lives, including the cost of living. With inflation, or a general and continuous increase in prices over a certain period of time, an increase in the costs of various basic needs is inevitable. Do you feel the same way?

Facing conditions like this, of course we need to increasingly adapt to our own circumstances. Employees and independent entrepreneurs need to move quickly to maintain finances and purchasing power to remain stable, for example by looking for more effective strategies for business development, or working on various side businesses. Getting used to today's demands requires sensitivity to see existing business opportunities, both in the product and service business sectors.

If we talk about the Indonesian economy in general, there are various economic sectors that play a role in it. Examples of sectors that may be easier for us to observe are the manufacturing, agricultural, mining and many more sectors. This is known as the tradable sector, which contains a variety of industries whose output is traded internationally and involves conventional production processes. Well, apart from this sector, Indonesia's economic growth is also supported by the non-tradable sector, the results of which are not traded internationally. We are more familiar with this sector as the service sector, for example transportation, health, finance and tourism.

From the report of the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) in Coverage 6, Indonesia's economic growth throughout 2018 reached 5.17% and became one of the highest achievements in Indonesia's economic growth since 2014. According to economist Faisal Basri, the main support for economic growth in 2018 is still the same as in previous years, namely the service sector or non-tradable sector. The majority of existing service sectors were found to grow above the growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In general, the service sector plays an important role in the development of the Indonesian economy.

The service industry sector, apart from being a pillar of the country's strength, is also a more easily accessible job opportunity. Armed with the expertise we have, we can offer services as soon as possible without large capital. Because this business sector prioritizes skills and not products, this option can be a promising source of income.

Behind its large contribution, the service sector has its own difficulties. An article from the business management platform, Sleekr, reviews a number of challenges often faced by entrepreneurs in the service sector. For example, it is not uncommon for entrepreneurs in the service sector to have difficulty recording financial reports, especially with many and detailed administrative tasks. Some examples are recording invoices to clients, checking financial transactions at the bank, and a neatly organized financial data storage system. Apart from that, service entrepreneurs also need to deal with the problem of cash flow, or financial turnover. Business people, both in the product and service sectors, often have problems maintaining stable financial conditions in cash. When we don't master basic management in the financial sector, the business we have will certainly not run optimally, whatever the type.

So, what can we do?

With its rapid development, technology can be said to be a solution to various problems and brings convenience to various things. Its existence has become an inseparable part of human life, from the past to the present. Not only does it offer assistance, advanced technology also provides new, easier and more efficient ways of working, learning and communicating. When able to use it properly, technology can have a tremendous impact on the productivity and efficiency of our businesses.

In Yogyakarta, a veterinarian managed to “juggle” the grooming and pet medical care business that he built with the support of technology, from using conventional methods to now being a shop with a more neatly organized system.

It's been two years since Drh. Sucianti Edianaputri, or more familiarly known as Suci, started a clinic and pet supplies shop by renting a shop on Jl. Nusa Indah, Sleman, DIY. Aged 30, this mother of two chose to open a veterinary practice near where she lives so she can always be close to her children, without having to leave her profession as a veterinarian.

This pet shop Business is named Pet City. Apart from selling pet care services, Pet City also provides various pet needs, ranging from pet food, medicine, vitamins, pet body care products, to cages. Suci hopes that the existence of this pet shop can support her veterinary practice, and vice versa.

In the past year, apparently Suci has begun to have difficulty managing her business finances. Every night, he has to record sales of goods and doctor services. Not infrequently his calculations are wrong, so he has to start calculating again from the beginning. Her intention was to open a business so she could be close to her children, but Suci felt like she was running out of time to play with them.

Suci also received a recommendation from her husband to use the help of a point of sales (POS) application, or a system that supports sales transactions. Because he had no experience with this kind of technology, he started to find out what POS was suitable for his business. For him, the right POS must be cheap, easy to use, and have complete features. He then tried downloading a number of existing applications, but after trying to use several types of POS, the choice fell on Qasir.

"Used POS before, visually it was lacking, the application was also difficult. Searched again, finally I found Qasir. The data is simpler, the sales application is also simpler," said Suci regarding his experience with Qasir. Apart from that, the ease of accessing the application for free and being able to use it directly at no cost makes Qasir a special application for Suci. One feature he really likes is the Sales Summary feature. "We can check every day, what items are selling the most, what items are coming out the most." Suci also hopes that Qasir will continue to offer applications that support ease of business for free, so that more and more small entrepreneurs who are starting out will be helped and will be more enthusiastic and focused in running their businesses.
