Snipe-IT Hosting in Germany
We implement and operate Snipe-IT as a central IT asset platform - including data migration, roles, LDAP or SAML, integrations, backups and documented operating processes.
About the technology
Traceable IT assets instead of distributed spreadsheets
Snipe-IT manages devices, accessories, components, consumables and software licences. Check-in and checkout show who an item is assigned to, while unique asset tags and labels support physical inventory work.
WZ-IT connects the application to directories, existing inventory sources and support processes. We separate technical availability from data quality: ownership, locations, asset classes and lifecycle rules must be defined with the responsible teams.
Snipe-IT features for a reliable asset register
Assets and lifecycles
Manage devices with asset tag, serial number, model, status, location, cost and lifecycle information in a structured register.Checkout and check-in
Assign assets, accessories and licences to people or locations, return them and retain a traceable assignment history.Software licences
Track licence inventory, seats, assignments, terms and procurement information together with associated assets.QR and barcode labels
Generate labels with QR codes or barcodes and open asset records directly during inventory and service work.LDAP, SAML and SCIM
Synchronise or authenticate users through LDAP and, depending on the target system, integrate SAML for login or SCIM for provisioning.REST API and data imports
Import inventory data through CSV or the REST API and connect Snipe-IT to MDM, discovery, helpdesk or procurement processes.
Operations beyond installation
Operate Snipe-IT as a reliable asset register
An IT asset system is only as reliable as its data model, processes and operations. We combine Snipe-IT, its database, file storage, identity, imports and backups with clear responsibilities.
Asset and licence data
Fields, asset tags, status models, locations and lifecycles are structured to fit existing inventories.Imports and integrations
CSV, REST API, LDAP, SAML and SCIM are connected through controlled processes instead of overwriting data blindly.Roles and processes
Permissions, checkout, check-in, inventory and approvals are aligned with the responsible teams.Operations and protection
Monitoring, updates, database and file backups plus restore tests protect the technical platform.
Area
Who is responsible for what?
We separate technical platform operations from business responsibility for asset data and processes.
| Area | Responsibility | Scope and boundaries |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture and provisioning | WZ-IT | Web application, MySQL or MariaDB, email, TLS, storage and reproducible deployment. |
| Snipe-IT runtime and updates | WZ-IT | Maintenance of the agreed instance including backup, release assessment and controlled updates. |
| Monitoring and backups | WZ-IT | Monitoring and backup of database, uploads, private attachments and relevant configuration. |
| Data model and initial import | Shared | WZ-IT maps and validates data; the customer confirms fields, states, assignments and authoritative systems. |
| Identity and user synchronisation | Shared | WZ-IT implements LDAP, SAML or SCIM; the customer defines groups, permissions and source systems. |
| Inventory and data maintenance | Customer | Completeness, physical verification, checkout, check-in and business accuracy remain customer processes. |
| Discovery and helpdesk integration | Optional WZ-IT service | Connections to existing MDM, discovery, ticketing or procurement systems are specified separately. |

Business, Priority, Production and Critical include the first covered workload in a customer environment. Further covered workloads cost €29.90, €39.90, €49.90 and €59.90 per month respectively. For monitoring-only servers, we notify within the level's window for €14.90, €19.90, €24.90 and €29.90 per server and month respectively; without a service level, during service hours.
The flexible operations allowance applies to planned work during regular service hours and expires at month end. Operations, monitoring, backups, maintenance and updates within the agreed scope do not reduce it. Additional work beyond the agreed operations and the allowance, as well as further incident work, is billed at the hourly rate of the service level of the affected environment. The standard rate applies to commissioned work without a service level. Hour packages and fixed prices have their own prices. All prices are net and exclude statutory VAT. The offers are addressed to businesses.
SLA & Service Levels →Sizing and deployment
Size Snipe-IT by data volume, usage and integrations
Asset count is only one factor. Concurrent users, images and attachments, imports, API synchronisations and reports affect compute, database and storage.
| Usage scenario | Technical starting point | Key factors |
|---|---|---|
| Small inventory with few administrators | S or M, MariaDB | A suitable starting point with moderate attachments and infrequent imports. |
| Several locations or regular inventory work | M or L, separate database and file backups | Data volume, label generation, reports and access peaks are assessed. |
| Regular API, LDAP or SCIM synchronisation | M or L plus planned jobs | Intervals, direction of change, conflicts and rate limits must be defined in advance. |
| Central asset register for several organisational units | Custom architecture | Roles, separation, data quality, recovery targets and integrations determine the target design. |
- Data cleansing, initial import, label design and custom integrations are project services and are not included in the generic workload price.
Sizing and deployment
Run Snipe-IT as a managed service or in your environment
The standard workload covers one managed instance. Migration, large file inventories and complex synchronisation are assessed separately.

- No. WZ-IT does not limit the number of users. How many users can work smoothly at the same time depends on usage and the chosen instance size XS to XL.
- Snipe-IT Hosting can be cancelled monthly, with no minimum term and 30 days' notice to the end of the month.
- Germany, Switzerland and Austria are available at the same prices. All three locations are data centres without US clouds that are ISO 27001 certified within the scope of the respective data centre operator; in Germany we additionally operate with a German provider whose data centres are BSI C5 attested. A confidentiality agreement under Section 203 German Criminal Code (StGB) is also available for app hosting on request, at the German location only; the separate Section 203 Managed Cloud for professional-secrecy holders is available in Germany only.
- Yes. Besides Germany, Switzerland and Austria are available as locations, at the same prices in euros. The operator of the data centre in Switzerland is certified to ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 and sources electricity from renewable sources; the data centre in Austria is ISO 27001 certified. State the preferred location in your request; it is recorded in the proposal.

- Yes. We clean and map the data, verify unique asset tags and mandatory fields and test the import with a subset. The customer confirms business accuracy and completeness.
- Snipe-IT documents LDAP synchronisation and login, SAML authentication and SCIM provisioning. We verify the specific combination with your identity provider and test attribute and deactivation behaviour before rollout.
- In addition to the MySQL or MariaDB database, public uploads, private attachments and relevant configuration must be included. We automate protection and test recovery for the agreed setup.
- No. The platform supports unique tags, assignments and history but does not replace ownership for inventory, checkout, check-in and data maintenance. We define these processes with the responsible teams.
- Yes, provided the participating systems offer suitable APIs or exports. Data direction, authoritative system, conflict rules, error handling and permissions are defined before implementation.

Networking & Provisioning
WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.
