## Description

Snipe-IT is an open-source, web-based inventory management system designed to track organizational assets and digital resources. It functions as a centralized platform for maintaining detailed records of hardware, software licenses, and equipment assignments, providing a structured environment for managing company resources.

The system specializes in hardware lifecycle tracking, covering the entire journey of physical equipment from initial procurement and deployment to maintenance, repairs, and eventual retirement. It also includes dedicated functionality for software license compliance, allowing organizations to monitor usage and expiration dates to ensure adherence to legal agreements and budget constraints.

The application enforces security through granular role-based access control, mapping user permissions to specific administrative functions and inventory actions. It utilizes a relational database to maintain data integrity and supports complex querying across all asset metadata, purchase histories, and user assignments.
