The use of a photo box for employee photos

The employees in your company are given the opportunity to create and / or update their individual employee photo at a fixed or periodically alternating location (e.g. in the casino or the company canteen or HR department).
It is essential that this takes place in the form of a self-service process and that additional employees are not needed on the spot.
You give your teams the option to fully identify themselves at any time with their personal employee photo.

The staff photos can be automatically optimized for the best format, removed from annoying elements in the background and, if desired, saved in several dimensions and aspect ratios.

Our proposed solution

You place a photo box set up for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the HR department, at the ID card office or at the entrance in a quiet corner.
The space required is approx. 1.5 mx 1 m.
There, the employees are allowed to stand in front of the photo box, similar to a passport photo machine, and read the instructions for the necessary actions on the display.

The monitor serves as a touch screen at the same time as an input terminal for the necessary information such as B. Employee ID, name, surname and / or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photo box can also be configured in such a way that the data can be read directly from the company ID card. The information collected in this way is then a component of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Optionally, a disclaimer screen with a checkbox for internal / external use of the employee report can be set up.

Following the recording of the employee portrait, the background of the recording can be automatically exchanged for one or various backgrounds you have specified. The head is also analyzed for each photo, adjusted to a specified size and placed in a defined position on the final image.

The image is saved in a size and format that you specify (e.g. square for the ActiveDirectory). A comparison between the photographed photo and the internal employee data record takes place via the name of the picture. We would be happy to help your IT department determine the interface.

A biometric check and a cut to a biometric ID photo are available as an optional extension.
The image output can take place in different sizes at the same time.
So you always have the best possible photo for
LinkedIn, XING, Twitter, the CRM system
etc. are available.

Of course, each file can also be “personalized” with the help of the company logo and / or the name and position of the employee are directly visible on the picture.

Special advantages of automated photo processes for professional employee photos

• the employee photo box is noticeably more cost-effective than a booked photographer
• extra data acquisition before or during the recording sequence
• Automated professional staff photos in maximum DSLR quality and studio flash technology
• RAW data can also be saved on request
• Employee portraits according to your corporate design
• automatic branding with your background and logo.
• perfect throughput speed when many employees need to be photographed in a small time frame

How does the employee get the photo?

So that the CRM system or the ActiveDirectory alone does not benefit from the new recordings, there are three different ways for the employee to receive his picture as a file.

1. Download from an online gallery
   At the end of the photo sequence, a code is displayed or printed out on the touchscreen, which the employee can use to download the original image and the different formats for the various target systems.
2. Download from an offline gallery via QR code
   The photo box provides a private WLAN that the employee has to dial into.
   At the end of the recording, a QR code is displayed on the screen. That QR code leads to an offline gallery from which the employee can save his photos. In contrast to the online gallery, this path only goes in the immediate vicinity of the photo box.
3. Enter the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   Then the captured photo is immediately sent to the employee's mailbox.

Other possible uses

In order to get the most out of your investment, you have the following options:

• Creation of biometric passport photos and ID photos
• Use at trade fairs to create personalized “flyers”
• Photo attraction at customer events & conferences
• Use at employee parties (summer party, Christmas party ...}
• Employee photos (as explained above)

The cost frame

The investment for the purchase of such a perfected photo box starts at around € 4,400 plus VAT and pays off for companies with around 100 employees.
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 system is adopted immediately.

Since the introduction of the system in 2019, two systems have been set up permanently in this country and in Switzerland.

The system is very popular with employees at WWZ AG in CH as well as at Haufe Lexware.
