DONATION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM IN BAITUL MAAL MITRA USAHA MANDIRI USING THE WATERFALL METHOD

Abstract

Fund management in financial institutions is a fundamental thing. Baitul Maal Mitra Usaha Mandiri as a microfinance institution plays a role in collecting and distributing donations to those in need. Data recording of receipts and distribution of donations at the Baitul Maal is still done manually where staff enter data into Microsoft Excel and send WhatsApp messages one by one, causing data not to be integrated and allowing for errors such as repeated recording, data loss, or other human errors. This problem has led to the development of a website-based donation management information system that can be accessed online. The system was built to make it easier for staff to manage financial data, make it easier for managers to monitor financial reports, and as an effort to be transparent to the public. The system was developed using the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) waterfall model. System development is carried out using the Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) programming language with Laravel framework and MySQL database management system (DBMS). The system was tested using black-box testing and System Usability Scale (SUS). The results of this study are the creation of a website-based Baitul Maal donation management information system that can be used to manage data on receiving and distributing donations and publishing financial reports to the public. The system has been tested using black-box testing and System Usability Scale with a test result of 80.81.
