This study has two purpose.First, this study aims to analyse the requirements of batik industry on effective and powerful software to select their supplier effectively.Second, this study aims to design, build, and test a web-based decision support system that using Geographic Information System (GIS) to select the best supplier for particular raw material.A prototype approach is used as a method for developing a web-based decision support system and several SMEs and supplier of batik industry in Central Java and Jogjakarta is used as a preliminary of object for proposed web-based decision support system.Thus, after the initial prototype of an information system was developed, this study use acceptance sampling with alpha and beta testing and also use system testing with positional accuracy testing as a tool for revising and enhancing the initial prototype.The result of all of those testing indicate that application of supplier selection based on GIS in the batik industry has been successfully used and did not experience an error, satisfied the user need and there was no differences between the coordinate of selected starting and ending point from GIS with the coordinate of selected starting and ending point from Global Position System (GPS).
