CSLDrive: A Web-Based Management Information System for the Center of Student Leadership and Development (CSLD) Student Unit at Urdaneta City University

Abstract

This study presents CSLDrive, a web-based Management Information System developed for the Center of Student Leadership and Development (CSLD) Student Unit at Urdaneta City University. The study addresses the inefficiencies of manual processes in handling student organization documents, approval workflows, event management, participation monitoring, and report generation. Existing practices often result in delays, misplaced records, incomplete participation tracking, and limited accessibility of organizational data. To address these challenges, the researchers designed and developed a centralized digital platform that streamlines administrative operations and improves transparency and accessibility. The study employed a descriptive-developmental research design to assess the existing processes of the CSLD Student Unit and to guide the design, development, and evaluation of the proposed system. The system was implemented with key modules including document management with access permissions, document submission and approval workflows, event management with QR-based attendance tracking, feedback collection, analytics and report generation, and Progressive Web Application (PWA) support for improved accessibility across devices. The Progressive Web Application feature enabled users to access the system through mobile and desktop devices with faster loading performance, responsive design, and application-like usability. The system was evaluated by selected respondents composed of CSLD personnel, advisers, officers, and students to determine its usability, functionality, and effectiveness. Results of the evaluation revealed that CSLDrive was rated highly acceptable in terms of usability, functionality, efficiency, and security. Respondents agreed that the system significantly improved the speed and accuracy of document processing, enhanced transparency in approval workflows, and strengthened the monitoring of student participation in events. The centralized document repository, event management module, and Progressive Web Application functionality were identified as key features that contributed to operational efficiency, accessibility, and reduced manual workload.
