Are you able to keep your inventory of employee portraits up to date for one of the following areas?

• Passport photos for travel planning
• Exchange
• Employee IDs
• Internet

Then a photo booth is from Photo Booth Deluxe worth a moment of your time.

What should be achieved?

The employees in your company have the opportunity to photograph and/or update their personal employee photo at a fixed location or at a periodically changing location (e.g. in the dining room or company canteen or HR department).
It is important that this takes place in the form of a self-service process and that additional employees are not required on site.
You give your staff the chance to identify themselves completely at any time with their own employee photo.

The staff photos can be automatically adapted to the appropriate format, removed from annoying elements in the background and saved in a number of dimensions and aspect ratios if desired.

One possible solution

You position a photo box set up for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the HR department, at the ID or at the reception in a quiet corner.
The space requirement is approx. 1.5m x 1m.
There, the employees can sit in front of the photo box, similar to the photo booth, and see the operating instructions for the necessary steps on the display.

The monitor serves as a touchscreen at the same time as an input terminal for the necessary information such as e.g. B. EmployeeID, name, surname and/or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photobooth can also be configured so that the data can be read directly from the employee ID card. The information collected in this way will later become part of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Alternatively, a disclaimer screen can be set up with a confirmation option for internal / external use of the photo.

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

The photo is saved in a size and format you specify (eg square for Active Directory). A comparison between the saved image and the internal employee data record takes place via the file name. We would be happy to support your IT department in specifying 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 synchronously in various dimensions.
So you always have the ideal photo for
Instagram, Outlook, Twitter, Facebook, XING, LinkedIn, WhatsApp & Co
etc. are available.

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

ADVANTAGES of automatic photo processes for professional employee photos

• optional branding with your background and logo.
• the employee photo box is significantly cheaper than a hired photographer
• Employee portraits according to your corporate design
• RAW data can also be saved on request
• extra data acquisition before or during the recording sequence
• minimal labor
• The name of the person photographed can also be digitally inserted into the picture without manual rework.
• perfect throughput speed when many workers are to be photographed in a short period of time

How does the photographed person get his picture?

So that not only the CRM system or the Active Directory can enjoy the new photos, there are three different ways for the employee to choose from to get his photo digitally as well.

1. Download from an online gallery
   At the end of the sequence, a code is displayed on the touchscreen or printed out, which the employee can use to load his original image and the various sizes for the various target systems.
2. Enter the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   The photo taken is immediately sent to the employee's e-mail address.
3. Download via QR code from an offline gallery
   The photo box provides a private WLAN that the employee has to dial into.
   At the end of the sequence, a QR code will appear on the screen. This QR code leads to an offline gallery from which the employee can copy his pictures. In contrast to the online gallery, this way only works in the immediate vicinity of the photo box.

Additional deployment options

In order to make the best possible use of the acquisition, you have the following options:

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

The cost frame

The cost of purchasing a photobooth adapted in this way starts at around €4,400 plus VAT and is worthwhile for organizations with around 100 employees or more.
Of course, there is also the option to try out the system in advance 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 purchased immediately.

recommendations

Since the system was introduced in 2019, two systems have been permanently installed in Germany and Zurich.

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