Karangploso District. Malang consists of two different type, vegetable peddlers, which is known as mlijo, that sell their goods by moving from one place to another in an area, and settled traders, which has a permanent stalls. These vegetable traders on average have limited capital so they do not have a high level of trading competition. They only buy vegetables from the wholesale market and resell them by going around or selling them at their stalls. Their living standard are relatively constant, without no increasing rate, since they do not have the ability either in capital, knowledge or technology to add facilities to increase their turnover. On the other hand, with the rapid growth of digital technology, almost all of our needs can be fulfilled Many conventional businessman has converted their traditional based business into online-based to be able to avoid bankcruptcy. With the rise of online business, now many online vegetable traders have emerged and there are also many people who enjoy the convenience when shopping for vegetables online (Chamhuri & Batt , 2. With an online vegetable trader, people no longer need to go to the market / vegetable stalls when they need vegetables. they just need to order via their mobile phones. Jurnal Sinergitas PkM & CSR Vol. No. Oktober 2019 p-ISSN: 2528-7052 | e-ISSN:2528-7184 The emergence of online vegetable traders is a serious problem for traditional vegetable traders. are not likely to migrate to online businesses because of their limited capital and technological The rise of online vegetable sellers does not rule out the possibility of traditional vegetable traders going out of business because of the limitations they have. Figure 1. Vegetable peddler Figure 2. Settled Vegetable Trader Jurnal Sinergitas PkM & CSR Vol. No. Oktober 2019 p-ISSN: 2528-7052 | e-ISSN:2528-7184 Both traditional vegetable traders, vegetable peddlers and settled traders currently rely on buyers from their loyal customers. Figure 1 shows one vegetable vendor circumference, he has a fixed route that has been set in accordance with the trajectory of his ordinary trading route, while the settled traders need the customer around their area or that is in passing to come directly to their stall as shown in Figure 2. The problem that arises in this system is limited buyers. trading transactions will only occur if the two parties meet directly. If a vegetable peddler is passing the area but the prospective buyer does not know, then the sale and purchase transaction will not take place, while for settled vegetable traders will receive a sale and purchase transaction if the buyer has time to visit the trader. Noting the above facts and the rise of online business, this service will provide an online vegetable buying and selling application named Mlijo Online to help vegetable traders find potential buyers. Problems faced by our partners in this community service include the following: . Limited number of buyers, due to the trading can occur only if there is a direct meeting between the seller and the buyer. The buyer must wait for the arrival of a vegetable peddler whose schedule is uncertain or the buyer must visit the food stall / vegetable sales location. The buyer must provide specific time to conduct the transaction. The emerging of online vegetable traders who use digital technology. Vegetable traders still have limited knowledge and capital to implement digital technology. The proposed online mlijo application is a development of a web-based application resulting from the final assignment of D3 Telecommunication Engineering Students in State Polytechnic of Malang and has been developed into an android-based application in an innovation research program funded by the State Polytechnic of Malang via DIPA fund. This application is equipped with the latest GPS technology that is still not widely used by the other online trading systems to find out the exact location of traditional vegetable traders / couriers or buyers so that the closest distance could be chosen for delivery route. This application is expected to be a solution to the problems faced by vegetable peddlers and buyers in conducting trading transactions. The advantage of this online mlijo application is that buyers can shop through their android devices. There is a map display and location from GPS that can show the location of the nearest Mlijo. Buyers can make transactions through the application thus efficient in time and make their daily activity easier. On the other hand, vegetable traders could promote their goods easily, such as giving discount, pay with purchase, etc. The proposed android-based vegetable trading application has an online vegetable messaging service, deposit confirmation, provide suggestions and view user profile data. It aims to facilitate the vegetable trading that can be done easier through a smartphone. Our application has two different types, namely client and server. The client side is built for Android-based mobile devices using the HTML programming language. JavaScript with the jQuery framework, and data transfer using AJAX, while the server side is built with the PHP programming language with the CodeIgniter framework and database management using MySQL (Malik. , 2. The integration of location based service aims to improve the service for both customers and traders. (Agustia, 2016. ) proposed a Location Based Service application on an Android mobile device that is able to help to find information and tourism location from the user's location and the route that can be taken to the tourism location. (Gunawan & Purnama, 2. proposed an application that can help users to find information on tourist locations in West Nusa Tenggara. This application uses GPS connected to google maps which can show the location and the closest route to the tourist location. Embedded GPS and user location as information Jurnal Sinergitas PkM & CSR Vol. No. Oktober 2019 p-ISSN: 2528-7052 | e-ISSN:2528-7184 to the seller could be used to find the best route to reach customers, such that it could facilitate traders to deliver the groceries (Sultana. Enayet, & Mouri, 2. The origin mlijo online application that was the initial idea of this community service has been granted an Intellectual Property Rights from the Director General of Intellectual Property Rights with a Certificate of Registration. The number and date of application: EC00201703129. September 6, 2017. This online mlijo application is originally web-based software, which was developed into an android application where the user must be connected to an internet network with a certain bandwidth and has a sufficient data package so that the GPS feature installed on the application can function perfectly. The greater the bandwidth, the application access, location map from GPS, as well as the display of available product images can be quickly displayed (Masudia. Sarosa. Rakhmania. Muhammad, & Putri, 2. Several drawbacks on previous application are the appearance may be less attractive, but the features of this application are still rare in other applications. Second, the previous application search system on vegetable products are still scattered on the scope of the Malang, it makes the competition among sellers of vegetables to be high and impact on a far delivery distance, thus the delivery fee is more expensive. Third, when the purchase is made to a settled vegetable trader then it must find a vegetable peddler who is willing to take vegetables and deliver to the buyer's house, this might make the buying and selling process take a longer time. METHODS This community service was done to assist and protect the greengrocer tradusional offered several solutions including: .

In addtition, to facilitate transactions and accountability, improvements are still being made to the transaction system and readiness for cooperation with banks. CONCLUSION This community service has been carried out with the results in the form of an online mlijo application, which is an online vegetable trading application with several vegetable traders in the Joyogrand Housing and Griya Permata Alam Malang area as members. The enthusiasm of the participants to follow the explanation of application and testing the application shows that this activity is needed, hoping that this online based business for traditional vegetable peddler will be officially launched once the agreements with banks is signed. This application uses the zoning system and the shortest path algorithm when delivering orders to reduce shipping costs such that it could be able to provide competitive prices with existing online vegetable traders.
