The smooth running of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) by external factors such as assistance from the government and internal factors such as business management, one of which is recording. Record-keeping system integrated with database management system can create more powerful information system. Information systems can simplify the recording process by providing calculations that are able to store business data for the long term. Currently, the record-keeping information system is available in the form of a website-based application. Based on interviews, the use of these applications by MSMEs is still minimal. The lack of understanding of the MSMEs owners on the interface elements used and the way these elements are presented in these recording applications causes the minimal use. Therefore, this research proposed a web-based record-keeping application for transactions and goods with a goal to facilitate interaction and communication with MSMEs. User Centered Design method provides a more in-depth knowledge about user needs and preferences than other design methods. In business, record-keeping involves interconnected data such as the amount of goods sold in a transaction. Therefore, this research uses design patterns to be able to facilitate interaction and communication between MSMEs owners and record-keeping application for transactions and goods. The test results show that the protoype fulfills the usability goals with high user score.
