The mission goal

The employees in your company have the option of creating and/or updating the individual employee photo at a fixed location or at a location that changes on a regular basis (e.g. in the dining room or the company canteen or HR department).
It is essential that this takes place in the form of a self-service process and that you do not need extra staff on site.
You give your employees the opportunity to always identify themselves to 100% with their personal employee photo.

The personal photos can be automatically optimized to the appropriate format, removed from annoying elements in the background and optionally saved in different sizes and aspect ratios.

One possible solution

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

The monitor 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 so that the data is simply read from the employee ID card. The information recorded in this way will later become part of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Optionally, a data protection screen with a checkbox for internal/external use of the image can also be displayed.

After photographing the employee portrait, the background of the photo can be automatically replaced with one or various backgrounds specified by you. Likewise, the head of each photo is identified, scaled to a specified size and positioned at a specified location on the final image.

The recording is saved in a size and format you specify (eg square for Active Directory). A comparison between the stored portrait and the in-house employee data record takes place via the name of the file. We would be happy to help your IT department define the import interface.

A biometric check and a cut to a biometric ID photo are available as an option.
The image output can take place in different forms at the same time.
So you always have the ideal photo for
WhatsApp & Co, Outlook, XING, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, the CRM system
etc. within easy reach.

Of course, each file can also be "personalized" with company logos and/or the name and position of the employee can be visible on the image.

Special advantages of automated photo processes for reliable employee photos

• extra data acquisition before or during the recording sequence
• even the name of the employee can be automatically inserted into the picture without manual rework.
• automatic branding with your background and logo.
• Automatically produced perfect staff photos in the highest DSLR quality and studio lighting technology
• low workload
• the employee photo box is noticeably more cost-effective than a booked portrait photographer
• Employee portraits according to your corporate design

How does the photographed person get the photo?

So that not only the CRM system or the Active Directory comes into possession of the new photos, there are three different ways for the employee to get his photo as a file.

1. Download from an offline gallery via QR code
   The photo box provides its own WLAN, which the employee must dial into.
   At the end of the photo sequence, a QR code is displayed on the screen. The QR code leads to an offline gallery from which the employee can download his pictures. In contrast to the online gallery, this way only works in the immediate vicinity of the photo box.
2. Download from an online gallery
   At the end of the recording, a code is displayed on the screen or printed out, which the employee can use to download his original recording and the various formats for the various target systems.
3. Enter the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   In this case, the captured photo will be sent to the employee's email address immediately.

Other possible uses

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

• Photo attraction at customer events & conferences
• Photos of groups of visitors, for example after a tour of the company
• Employee photos (as already described)
• 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 organizations with around 100 employees or more.
Of course, there is also the opportunity 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 purchased immediately.

Customer ratings

Since the system was implemented in 2019, two photo boxes have been set up permanently in Germany and in Zurich.

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