Abstract

Information technology plays a crucial role in enhancing company performance and driving business growth. Maintaining good customer relationships is essential, and Customer Relationship Management focuses on building customer commitment. Sales Force Automation systems automate sales processes and manage customer interactions. PT. Maju Jaya Kreasindo, a furniture company in East Jakarta, aims to automate its sales force and centralize operational information through a web-based Sales Force Automation system using Electronic Customer Relationship Management. The research adopts the "Prototyping" method, offering a shorter development duration and flexible implementation. Visual Studio Code and Xampp, along with PHP and MySQL, are utilized as development tools. The result is a Sales Force Automation system based on Electronic Customer Relationship Management that assists PT. Maju Jaya Kreasindo in automating its sales force. The design successfully automates tasks, supported by Electronic Customer Relationships and the prototyping method. The Sales Force Automation system passed the functionality evaluation, achieving high user acceptance test scores, and indicating its effectiveness in meeting user requirements.
