One approach to modern business is to pay attention to the factors of good relationships with customers, not only before the transaction, but also after the transaction. The Information Technology System used to manage customer relationships with the aim of increasing customer retention is called Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

This study tries to develop E-CRM software that is tailored to the business needs of MSMEs in Banten by using a local approach to facilitate users in their use. This feature in the E-CRM will help MSMEs in implementing customer relationship management so that they can increase their competitiveness with other companies in maintaining the business they are running and as a means to obtain a wider new market. The approach used by local policy is through observations made on MSMEs in the Banten region. The application developed in this paper is based on 9 characteristics of the Banten MSMEs produced in previous studies [1] and the E-CRM UMKM blue print model that has been published in international seminars [2]. This application development used the stages that exist in the waterfall model method, namely planning, analysis, design, and implementation.
