The mission goal

The employees in your company have the opportunity to photograph and/or update their personal employee photo at a fixed location or at regularly changing locations (e.g. in the dining room or company canteen or HR department).
It is essential that this takes place in the form of a self-service process and that extra employees are not needed on site.
You give your teams the option to identify themselves at any time to 100% with their individual employee photo.

The personal photos are automatically cut to the appropriate format, freed from disturbing elements in the background and optionally saved in different shapes and aspect ratios.

One possible solution

You can position a photo booth optimized for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the HR department, at the ID or at the reception in a relaxed corner.
The space required is approx. 1.5 mx 1 m.
There, the employees can stand in front of the photo box and read the instructions for the necessary steps on the touchscreen, just like with the passport photo machine.

The screen serves as a touch screen at the same time as an input terminal for the necessary information such as B. Employee ID, first name, last name and/or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photo box can also be programmed in such a way that the data is read in immediately from the company ID card. The employee data recorded in this way is then an element of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Optionally, a data protection screen with a confirmation option for internal / external use of the image can also be displayed.

After the employee portrait has been taken, the background of the photo can be automatically replaced with one or more backgrounds specified by you. The head is also determined for each photo, adjusted to a specified size and positioned in a specified position on the final image.

The photo is saved in a size and aspect ratio you specify (eg square for Active Directory). A comparison between the photographed portrait and the internal employee data record takes place via the name of the picture. We would be happy to support your IT department in clarifying the interface.

A biometric check and a cut to a biometric ID photo are also available.
The image output can happen in several forms at the same time.
So you always have the right photo for
Outlook, Instagram, WhatsApp & Co, XING, Twitter
etc. lying ready.

Of course, each file can also be “personalized” with the company logo and/or the employee's name and position will be directly visible on the image.

BENEFITS of automated photo processes for professional employee photos

• Employee photos according to your corporate design
• digital branding with your background and logo.
• additional data acquisition before or during the acquisition sequence
• RAW data is also backed up as required
• Independently created professional staff photos in the highest DSLR quality and studio flash technology
• the employee photo box is noticeably cheaper than a booked portrait photographer
• optimized throughput speed when many employees have to be photographed in a small period of time

How does the staff get their photo?

So that not only the CRM system or the Active Directory can benefit from the new recordings, there are three different ways for the employee to choose from to receive their picture as a file.

1. Enter the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   In this case, the captured photo is immediately sent to the employee's e-mail inbox.
2. Download from an offline gallery via QR code
   The photobooth provides a private WLAN which the employee has to dial into.
   At the end of the sequence, a QR code is displayed on the screen. This QR code leads to the offline gallery where employees can download their pictures. In contrast to the online gallery, this path is only possible in the immediate vicinity of the photo box.
3. Download from an online gallery
   At the end of the recording, a code is displayed on the touchscreen or printed out, which the employee can use to copy his original recording and the various sizes for the different target systems.

Further deployment options

To get the most out of your investment, you have the following options:

• Production of biometric passport photos and ID photos
• Photo attraction at customer events & congresses
• Photos of groups of visitors, e.g. after a lecture
• Employee photos (as already explained)
• Use at employee parties (summer party, Christmas party ...}
• Use at trade fairs to produce personalized “flyers”

The cost frame

The investment for the purchase of a photo box adapted in this way starts at around €4,400 plus VAT and is therefore worthwhile for companies with around 100 employees or more.
Of course, there is also the chance to test the system beforehand on a rental basis for € 650 + € 1 / employee photo plus VAT per week.
1/2 of the rent will be credited to the subsequent purchase if the photo box is purchased directly.

Customer ratings

Since the system was introduced in 2019, two systems have been set up permanently in Germany and Switzerland.

Both at WWZ AG in Switzerland and at Haufe Lexware, the system is very well received by employees.
