Abstract

Parishes are places for meetings of religious believers and, in the organizational processes, there are practices of financial control of expenses and incomes. In certain parishes, incomes are recorded on paper during masses and, later transferred to computerized worksheets, generating the risk of loss of information during the process. Among the main incomes are the contributions, whether in the form of tithing or donation. In this work, we present the development of a web system for parish communities to improve their control of contributions receipts. The objective is to implement the process of digital transformation in parishes, that are still not computerized. It is developed a solution to contemplate the real needs of the target audience, which aims for a more secure and effective process of contribution registration. The MEAN Stack, used in the process, covers all technologies used for the solution development. The design followed the concepts of User Experience (UX), aiming for a better experience in using the application regarding fluidity and facility when performing operations. It was verified, in the validation process, that the system improves the organization of the processes involved, bringing improvements to the control of financial activities.
