Saat ini proses bisnis pembelian, persediaan, dan penjualan barang yang berjalan di Toko Soviah  masih dilakukan secara manual serta belum adanya data pelanggan tetap ditoko tersebut. Hal ini menyebabkan beberapa permasalahan antara lain, sering terjadi kesalahan pencatatan pembelian dan penjualan barang, perhitungan transaksi yang lama, lambatnya informasi ketersediaan barang di gudang serta belum adanya upaya untuk meraih loyalitas pelanggan dalam bisnis yang dijalankan. Oleh karena itu, perlu penerapan Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) dan Customer Relationship Management (CRM) untuk sistem informasi pembelian, persediaan, dan penjualan barang serta pengelolaan hubungan dengan pelanggan yang bertujuan untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut. Tahapan penerapan ERP ini dimulai dengan studi pendahuluan. Aktivitasnya yaitu pengenalan perusahaan dengan wawancara dan observasi, mengidentifikasi proses bisnis pembelian, persediaan, dan penjualan barang yang sedang berjalan kemudian membuatkan usulan sistem secara terkomputerisasinya, yang digambarkan dengan menggunakan Business Process Model Notation (BPMN), serta penggambaran model kerja sistem yang akan diterapkan menggunakan use case diagram. Tahapan selanjutnya adalah melakukan studi literatur dari berbagai buku dan jurnal untuk mencari landasan teori dan penelitian terkait. Kemudian melakukan pemilihan perangkat lunak ERP, setelah itu melakukan konfigurasi dan kustomisasi modul perangkat lunak ERP tersebut, serta terakhir melakukan penerapan dan pengujian. Hasil yang diharapkan dari penelitian ini adalah dapat mengatasi permasalahan pada Toko Soviah.

This article mainly aims to verify the moderating role environmental turbulence plays on the relationship between customer relationship management and business performance. The research was performed based on the survey performed in Ghana telecommunication sector, and the sample included 579 staff from MTN Ghana, VODAFONE Ghana, ALTEL/TIGO Ghana, ESPRESSO Ghana and GLOBACOM Ghana. The statistical analysis of the obtained results was carried out using multiple linear regression analysis with STATA and AMOS statistical software package. The obtained results clearly show that all constructs of CRM namely information sharing, customer involvement, joint problem solving, long-term partnership and technology-based CRM have a significantly positive impact on business performance. The moderation analysis indicated that technological turbulence positively moderates the relationship that existed between the various constructs of customer relationship management and business performance indicating that technological turbulence significantly strengthens the relationship between these variables. On the contrary, market turbulence significantly weakens the relationship between the various customer relationship management constructs and business performance. These findings contribute immensely to literature and knowledge by indicating which moderating environmental turbulence significantly strengthens and weakens the existing relationship between customer relationship management and business performance within the Ghanaian telecommunication sector.
