SMART PLS software is used to assess the suggested model and the data received from the questionnaire.FindingsAccording to the findings, availability of information, information quality and security influence user satisfaction. Therefore, considering the dimensions could be a great step in the improvement of the E-CRM effectiveness. The outcomes also showed that online shopping sites should help customers observe the accordance between the received services and their needs' features.Research limitations/implicationsDespite many efforts to complete the article, the low sample size is one of the limitations of this article. Also, the study has only been evaluated in one country, so generalization of results should be made with caution.Practical implicationsThe E-CRM process is a continuous learning process where information about the customer is transformed into a customer relationship. Also, customer satisfaction is the core concern of any system, and such systems must assess customer satisfaction levels by incorporating a procedure. Many research findings show that development managers try to enhance the quality of the relationship with development managers' customers. The study recommends that both designers and managers focus on security, system quality and access to information to boost customer satisfaction.Originality/valueThe research discusses and identifies the key factors that must be considered while providing the solutions of E-CRM. The study helps managers to accelerate E-CRM systems. Also, the paper supports the field of the managers-orientated perspective in E-CRM.
