dc.description.abstractWhile the use of mobile apps has been very successful in developed countries around the globe, in Pugo La Union, Philippines especially in the wood carving industry, it does not have a significant presence. This research was conceptualized for the benefit of the woodcarving industry stakeholders, i.e., the wood carvers, market vendors, distributors, wholesalers, shop owners, and the government. Through this study, the researchers made an effort to examine the problems encountered by the woodcarving business owners and put forth a desirable recommendation, the design of a mobile application that is beneficial to the woodcarving industry. The researchers developed the KITIKIT, a mobile application to ease the searching for hand-carved wood products. KITIKIT has integrated Google Maps to allow users to trace the location of an establishment selling hand-carved wood products. Also, KITIKIT provides a facility for establishment owners to advertise by enabling them to upload pictures of their establishments and products, and provide relevant information such as price, contact details, customizations options. It is very significant for the woodcarving industry to develop and offer mobile apps to satisfy the purpose and needs of customers. Future researchers are encouraged to conduct a usability testing of the proposed mobile application. © 2019 Association for Computing Machinery.
