# Real Estate Developers: ERP Data and Integration Requirements in Bahrain

The data you should prepare and the systems to connect when implementing ERP for real estate developers.

Quick answer

Developers coordinate land, construction, sales, payment plans and handover across multiple projects. In Bahrain, real estate developers typically need: project and unit inventory, sales and reservations, payment plans and collections, construction cost control. CRM-to-finance continuity and instalment handling matter most.
- Unit and payment data in spreadsheets
- Weak link between sales and finance
- Manual collection follow-up
- Key records: projects, phases and units, customers and buyers, payment schedules
