Implementation of the Baznas Management Information System at the National Board of Zakat in Bekasi City

“…The results of this research have similarities and differences with Latief's research (2019), which revealed that SIMBA has much dependence on internet connections, and there is a lack of human resources to run the SiMBA application, so these things become weaknesses in the operation of SiMBA (Latief, 2019). Meanwhile, this research shows similarities in research objectives to determine the supporting and inhibiting factors for SIMBA implementation in each location.…”

“…The National Zakat Amil Agency (BAZNAS) must make breakthroughs in making zakat management efficient (Rachman & Nur Salam, 2018;Wulan et al, 2019). It is done through a webbased application called the BAZNAS Management Information System or SiMBA (Latief, 2019;Wulan et al, 2019). SiMBA is a BAZNAS innovation in controlling national zakat reporting (Fadhil & Machdum, 2023).…”

It indicates that BAZNAS is experiencing idle cash, meaning that the amount of ZIS funds available have not been fully absorbed by ZIS fund distribution programs to the mustahik party [10]. This study will attempt to find new indicators that will be used as alternatives to address research gaps in measuring ZIS fund management's performance, which is reflected in the organizational capacity variable.…”
