Complete Asset Lifecycle Management

• See which assets are assigned, to whom, and their physical location
• One-click check-in and checkout with full audit history
• Group common attributes using Asset Models
• Require end-user acceptance (EULAs/Terms of Service) on checkout with optional digital signatures
• Mark assets as requestable so users can self-serve requests
• Pre-defined kits enable faster multi-item checkouts for new hires

License Management Track multi-pack software licenses with automated email alerts before expiration, helping you avoid compliance gaps and unexpected renewal costs.

Barcode and QR Code Support Integrate with most handheld barcode scanners and QR code reader apps. Generate QR code labels for rapid mobile lookups and physical audits.

Custom Fields and Reporting Add custom fields for any additional asset attributes your organization requires. Easily import and export asset data for reporting and migration.

• Two-factor authentication (2FA) for administrator and user accounts
• Bcrypt password hashing to protect stored credentials
• HTTPS-only cookies to prevent session hijacking
• SAML login integration for enterprise single sign-on
• LDAP and Google Secure LDAP sync for centralized user management
• SCIM support for automatic user provisioning and deprovisioning

Snipe-IT integrates natively with Jira (Snipe-IT for Jira), JAMF, Kandji, and Slack (checkout/checkin notifications). The robust JSON REST API enables custom integrations with your proprietary systems, CMDB, or automation workflows.

A 200-person school district uses Snipe-IT to check out Chromebooks each semester, scan them back in via barcode at year-end, and generate audit reports for grant compliance - all without per-device licensing fees.
