The research results conducted by Hartini, Wijaya, and Margaretha (2021) state that financial inclusion plays a crucial role in running a business, and product sales require attention. Introduction to digital marketing has also been carried out for several entrepreneurial groups, as done by Wijaya, Rahayu, and Hafiz (2020). To facilitate online transactions, Siswanto, Maripurwanto, and Syafudin (2021) introduced and provided training on the use of Odoo software, which can assist entrepreneurs in conducting transactions.
In the implementation of this PKM program, the team also collaborated with Vastu Prajna Vatayana as a creative industry with experience in animation, virtual reality, motion graphics, brand activities, and as a provider of applications for the Trisakti Online Shop.
The PKM was carried out in December 2021, conducting training and mentoring both offline in Cordova, Jl. Japos Raya No. 9 Pondok Jati Jurang Mangu Barat Pondok Aren South Tangerang, and online using the Zoom Meeting platform and WhatsApp Group.
