Sample setups and hardware

"What hardware do we need?" The short answer: one PC with Windows 7 SP1 or later, 2 GHz and 1 GB RAM runs a manifest workstation. The long answer depends on your dropzone — here are five setups with their license costs.

Not sure? We recommend Decent (b): with a Load-Viewer on its own screen, fun jumpers plan for themselves and tandem passengers see when their load goes — and stop asking the manifest.

Grow step by step

  • Start with Minimal (a) for 0.- EUR in the first season,
  • move to Decent (b) for 2,998.- EUR once or 55.- EUR per month in the next,
  • and to Medium (c) for another 1,000.- EUR once or 15.- EUR per month.

You pay the same whether you buy all licenses at once or one after the other (apart from the quantity discount 3)).

a) Minimal

For

Dropzones of any size that do not need a separate Load-Viewer, or want to try DZ-Manager without spending money — for example after pen and paper or another program on a single PC.

What it does

  • Any number of skydivers, aircraft and jumps
  • Appointments in the app, for example tandems
  • Reports on everything: jumps, money, aircraft, skydivers, your own SQL queries
  • Every mode — manifest, self-manifesting, Load-Viewer — but one at a time: the Load-Viewer cannot show while you manifest

Required hardware

  • One PC: Windows 7 SP1 or later, 2 GHz, 1 GB RAM

Optional hardware

  • A printer for waivers, jump certificates, statements and load lists
  • A card reader for DzM-Cards, to identify skydivers faster

b) Decent — our recommendation

For

Dropzones that want the loads on a big screen — for example when switching from another program, or to modernize the manifest.

What it does

  • Everything of Minimal (a), plus:
  • Work on one screen while the Load-Viewer runs on a second one

Required hardware

  • One PC with two monitor outputs: Windows 7 SP1 or later
  • Two monitors, one of them a big TV

Optional hardware

  • A printer for waivers, jump certificates, statements and load lists
  • A card reader for DzM-Cards, to identify skydivers faster
  • A way to send the Load-Viewer picture over the network, if the TV is more than 20 m from the manifest

c) Medium

For

Dropzones that also want skydivers to manifest themselves with DzM-Cards — to stand out and to take the fun jumpers off the manifest desk.

What it does

  • Everything of Decent (b), plus:
  • Two screens with any mode at the same time — for example the Load-Viewer and self-manifesting on one PC, switching by itself, while your staff work on the other

Required hardware

  • Two PCs: Windows 7 SP1 or later
  • A card reader for self-manifesting

Optional hardware

  • A printer for waivers, jump certificates, statements and load lists
  • A touch screen at the kiosk PC (otherwise a mouse)

d) Huge

For

Big dropzones with several staff workstations at the manifest, maybe one for accounting, a separate Load-Viewer and self-manifesting. Saves your staff a lot of time.

What it does

  • Everything of Medium (c), plus:
  • Six screens with any mode at the same time — for example Load-Viewer, self-manifesting and four staff workstations

Required hardware

  • A server for the MySQL database (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 or later, or Linux), 16 GB RAM
  • Five PCs: Windows 7 SP1 or later
  • Six monitors

e) Decent with Online-Tools

For

Dropzones that take tandem bookings online, let skydivers manage their account from home, and want the Staff-Module.

What it does

  • Everything of Decent (b), plus:
  • Online booking with payment, gift cards and vouchers
  • Skydiver accounts and the Load-Viewer on every phone
  • The Staff-Module in the browser, using the Professional license while nobody manifests at the PC

Required hardware

  • As Decent (b)
  • The Online-Tools on a PC at the dropzone (Windows 10 version 1607 or later, or Linux) with the free DZ-Cloud Redirector — or hosted in the DZ-Cloud

Any setup in the cloud

The desktop app also runs on a Windows desktop in the cloud — our DZ-Cloud Cloud-PC or Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop. At the dropzone you then only need a computer that opens a remote desktop.

1) Plus 19 % German VAT for invoice recipients in Germany and in the EU without a valid VAT identification number; recipients outside the EU, e.g. in the USA, are not charged VAT.

2) For services on site (not online), travel and accommodation are charged in addition.

3) For every 5 Professional licenses you get one free: 6 licenses for the price of 5.

4) One license per workstation that runs at the same time at one dropzone; you may install the software on any number of PCs (floating license).

5) We credit every license of a competing product that you trade in when you buy one-time licenses. If your product is not in the list, we make you an offer — as a rule about 25 % of what the competing product cost.

6) Your customer number is in the About menu of DZ-Manager and in your registration email. If you are not sure, enter -1 and we will contact you.

7) License agreement (all countries except Germany) / Lizenzvertrag (Germany)

8) All invoices are in EUR. Prices in other currencies use an estimated exchange rate that can change.
