This project aimed to improve the financial
management practices of Bentuco National High School
Faculty Cooperative by developing and implementing a
Loans and Savings Management System. The project
objectives included identifying current loan and savings
management practices, determining the technical
requirements for an automated system, assessing the
potential benefits of implementing the system, and
developing a functional system with a detailed timeline,
budget, and risk management strategy. A mixedmethods approach was used, involving both qualitative
and quantitative data collection and analysis. Data was
gathered through interviews, surveys, and observations
to identify current practices and common problems
faced by cooperative members. Based on these findings,
a Loans and Savings Management System was designed
using the MERN stack, anchored in Organizational
Information Processing theory, and developed using
Agile Methodology in software development. The
prototype was evaluated using Chi-square analysis,
based on ISO 9241-11, and the actual system was
evaluated using ISO/IEC 25010. The results showed that
the system improved the efficiency, transparency, and
accountability of financial transactions within the
cooperative. Users were satisfied with the system and
found it easy to use. The project provides insights into
the benefits of implementing an automated system for
financial management in a cooperative setting, and the
use of a mixed-methods approach can provide valuable
data for designing and evaluating such systems.
