Quick Summary
Internship: Laravel Developer - Snipe-IT Asset Management POC (Public Hospitals)
Patrimoinestate, a subsidiary of Habentis technologies, specializes in the inventory, management, and valuation of assets belonging to the State and public institutions.
We are seeking a motivated intern to join our Research & Development team. The core mission involves evaluating and customizing Snipe-IT, an open-source asset management solution built on the Laravel (PHP) framework. This internship focuses on developing a Proof of Concept (POC) to demonstrate the technical and functional feasibility of integrating Snipe-IT specifically for public hospital asset management needs.
Internship Objectives & Key Responsibilities
The intern will drive the Proof of Concept (POC) development by executing the following tasks:
- Market Benchmark & Analysis: Conduct a comparative analysis of competing Asset Management solutions (e.g., GLPI, OCS Inventory, Asset Tiger). Evaluate features, integration complexity, cost, and performance metrics.
- Hospital Needs Assessment: Gather and analyze functional and technical requirements for public hospital asset management (including medical equipment, furniture, and vehicles). Identify functional gaps between hospital needs and native Snipe-IT capabilities.
- Functional Specification Development: Draft detailed specifications outlining use cases, target workflows, and required customizations for Snipe-IT integration. Propose potential enhancements, modules, workflows, and dashboard extensions.
- System Installation & Deployment: Install and configure the Snipe-IT solution on a Linux server. Deploy the environment using Docker containers. Thoroughly document all installation and integration procedures.
- Test Data Setup & Configuration: Create and integrate relevant fictitious data (equipment, departments, users, licenses) for demonstration purposes. Configure hospital-specific roles, permissions, and asset workflows.
- Documentation & Presentation: Develop a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation showcasing the solution, POC outcomes, and projected benefits for the healthcare sector.
- Technical Documentation: Produce complete documentation, including Installation Guides (Linux and Docker), Integration/Configuration Guides, and a Data Dictionary for the database structure.
- Business Intelligence Reporting: Generate a business intelligence report utilizing Power BI based on the asset data.
Required Skills & Experience
- Strong foundation in web development technologies: PHP/Laravel, HTML/CSS, and JavaScript.
- Basic proficiency in Linux system administration (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian).
- Familiarity with containerization technologies: Docker and Docker Compose.
- Understanding of relational databases (MySQL/MariaDB).
- Proven ability to produce clear, structured technical documentation.
- Demonstrated autonomy, rigor, and technical curiosity.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience or knowledge of open-source IT Asset Management (ITAM) or Configuration Management Database (CMDB) solutions.
- Familiarity with version control systems (Git and GitHub).
- Strong analytical skills and the ability to communicate complex technical processes clearly.
Expected Deliverables
- Needs Analysis Report.
- Detailed Functional Specifications.
- Operational Snipe-IT Environment (Linux + Docker deployment).
- Integrated Test Data Set.
- Front-end Customization implementation.
- Comprehensive Technical Documentation (Installation, Integration, Configuration).
- Comparative Solutions Benchmark Report.
- Database Data Dictionary.
- PowerPoint Demonstration Presentation.
