Analysis obtained the functional requirements of the system is formulated with the ability to search by name of farmer groups, districts, type of groups and commodities and display the route to the location of farmer groups. The application is built on the web using Google Maps as the base map. Spatial data processing utilizes PostGIS features. System testing is done with blackbox testing that focuses on the functionality of the system. The results of tests conducted by seven testers on the 7 functional requirements indicate that the system built has been in accordance with the functional requirements of the system designed.
