• Manufacturing: Simplifies the production cycle, helps track material consumption, exhibits capacity planning, handles subcontracting, and more!
• Asset Management: From purchase to disposal, IT infrastructure to equipment. Covers every branch of your organization, all in one centralized system.
• Projects: Deliver both internal and external projects on time, budget and profitability. Track tasks, timesheets, and issues by project.

New passwords will be created for the ERPNext "Administrator" user, the MariaDB root user, and the Frappe user (the script displays the passwords and saves them to ~/frappe_passwords.txt).
