What It Can't Do
- •Requires Frappe Framework and ERPNext – not a standalone app; 2. Docker setup needs at least 2GB RAM; 3. Local development requires understanding Frappe Bench – beginners may face a learning curve.
Use Cases

- Growing companies: Need scalable, customizable HRMS with ERP integration
- Distributed teams: Multi-region leave policies, taxation rules, and multilingual support
