Who repleno is not for

repleno is deliberately not the right solution when:

A full-scale ERP system is needed

repleno deliberately has NO:

• Financial accounting or controlling
• CRM (customer management)
• Time tracking or payroll
• Quote creation or invoicing
• Project management tools

→ If you need these functions integrated, an ERP system is a better choice.

Complex production logic is required

repleno deliberately has NO:

• Multi-level BOMs (only single-level for assembly)
• Production planning or machine control
• Production scheduling or monitoring

→ Example: If you manufacture nested assemblies (assembly contains assembly), you need a production system. For simple assembly (control cabinet from individual parts, safety vest from cut pieces) repleno with BOMs fits well.

Industries with special requirements

Typically NOT suitable:

• Gastronomy (perishable goods, recipe management, allergens)
• Retail (POS integration, cash register system required)
• Complex production (multi-level BOMs, production control)

Businesses without reliable internet access

repleno requires an internet connection. Without Wi-Fi or mobile data, neither lookups nor bookings are possible. An offline mode with sync on the next connection is planned but not yet available.

Vehicle stock or mobile inventory in the field

repleno is designed around the main stockroom. Vehicles or job sites cannot currently be set up as dedicated location types.

→ Vehicle stock and mobile inventory are planned.

Complete replacement for Kanban/RFID

repleno does NOT replace existing Kanban or RFID systems, but can be used in parallel for items outside these systems. repleno deliberately omits many complicated functions of large systems to remain simple, understandable, and maintainable.

Less complexity is not a shortcoming here, but part of the concept, so it actually gets used in practice.
