Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin Indonesia), Arsjad Rasjid, consistently encourages all Kadin in Indonesia to strengthen the economy both at the regional and national levels. One of them is through the Kadin Impact Award event, where all Kadin in provinces, districts and cities throughout Indonesia are invited to showcase excellent programs that have had a significant impact in their respective regions.<\/p>\n
After making his second visit on April 14 2023 to the Kadin Bandung City, Arsjad Rasjid together with the Kadin Impact Award assessment team visited the Surakarta City Chamber of Commerce to evaluate a flagship program known to the Solo people as the Solo Great Sale (SGS) which has now been transformed into an SGS GO platform.<\/p>\n
Solo Great Sale is a program initiated by Kadin Surakarta City to develop MSMEs according to inclusive, collaborative and progressive values. All business actors from various sectors can join to be part of the Solo Great Sale.<\/p>\n
This program was introduced in 2015 in order to improve the regional economy, especially during the low season period in February by providing one coupon for people who make buying and selling transactions of IDR 50,000 and multiples apply. The program, which initially only involved traditional market traders, then expanded its coverage to malls, hotels, booking train tickets, etc.<\/p>\n
After running for 3 years, the Solo Great Sale program developed into the digital realm by transforming into the SGS GO application, which was a solution for MSME sellers during the Covid-19 pandemic. This application facilitates public transactions and the process of exchanging promotional coupons from home without having to meet face to face.<\/p>\n
Transactions of tenants who are members of SGS GO also increased by 171.7% from 2020 (Rp. 809 billion) to 2022 (Rp. 2.2 trillion). In addition, the number of tenants joining SGS GO continues to increase, reaching 23 thousand.<\/p>\n
Regarding digitalization, Arsjad explained, \"Most of our friends who switched to digitalization have managed to survive, but until now, only 20.9 million MSMEs have joined the digital ecosystem. SGS GO is a tool that can increase the level of digital literacy for MSME actors so that they can take advantage of digitalization opportunities,\" said Arsjad.<\/p>\n
\u201cDigitalisasi dapat membawa perubahan signifikan pada dunia bisnis, termasuk dalam hal peningkatan produktivitas dan penyerapan tenaga kerja. Harapan kami, melalui pemerataan digitalisasi, kedepannya dapat meningkatkan perekonomian serta pendapatan devisa negara,\u201d jelas Arsjad.<\/p>\n
Chairman of the Solo Kadin, Ferry Septha Indrianto, explained that Kadin Surakarta City will continue to increase the strengthening of the digital transformation of the MSME sector. \"One of our priority work programs is to strengthen and encourage MSMEs to be digitized. One of them is through the SGS GO application and the Adipati QRIS Movement, which we have planned since 2021 together with Bank Indonesia,\" said Ferry. He also has the ambition that the SGS GO application can become a one stop marketplace for the solo region.<\/p>\n
In closing, Arsjad emphasized that Kadin in all provincial, district and city should improve digital literacy so that all Indonesian regions can compete in the global era. Moreover, Indonesia has the opportunity to host the ASEAN-BAC (Business Advisory Council) at the 2023 ASEAN Summit. Digitalization is an aspect that continues to be developed considering that the ASEAN region is currently implementing the ASEAN QR-Code. Digital transformation is an important aspect of regional and national economic synergy.<\/p>\n
