saran that sells various types of processed chips, such as sweet potatoes, bananas, and other tubers. This company relies on direct sales from its production house and retailing at kiosks, minimarkets, and supermarkets in Kisaran, Asahan Regency. Also, they have to face the impact of the pandemic by surviving and trying to continue producing their products. One of the causes of declining sales during the post-COVID-19 pandemic is the need for promotional media to expand the market. Just expecting regular customers significantly influences declining sales because the economic turnover of the people in Asahan Regency is limited due to the impact of COVID-19. Apart from that, digital business competition is also a challenge for the Kisaran souvenir chips business.
Using observation methods and providing direct training to partner locations, implementing a website and e-catalog is essential for the Selasih Chips business in facing business challenges after the COVID-19 pandemic. Technology can help companies to improve operational efficiency, increase customer trust, and expand their markets in this digital era. Implementing a website and e-catalog can also help Pak Selamat expand its customer reach.

riculum, and accessibility often makes it difficult for parents. Decision-making tends to be based on subjective word-of-mouth recommendations, which risks triggering bias. This research aims to develop an adaptive and objective web-based elementary school selection Decision Support System (DSS) framework to minimize such bias. The system is designed using a hybrid model that combines the Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) method as a dynamic criteria weighting engine based on parents' preferences, and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to rank ten alternative schools. System testing was conducted through black-box testing functionality and empirical accuracy testing using Spearman Rank Correlation involving 40 respondents. The black-box testing results confirmed that all main system operations ran perfectly with a 100% success rate. Validity testing demonstrated very high accuracy, with a Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.89, demonstrating significant alignment between the system's recommendations and actual choices on the ground. Thus, the SMART-TOPSIS framework has proven reliable as a data-driven approach to helping parents choose the best elementary school.
