Then there is a Photo Box from Photo Booth Deluxe worth considering.

The use of a photo box for employee photos

The employees in your company have the option to create and / or update their own employee photo at a fixed or periodically changing location (e.g. in the casino or the company canteen or HR department).
It is important that this takes place in the form of a self-service process and that additional personnel are not needed on site.
You give your employees the option to identify themselves to 100% around the clock with their own employee photo.

The staff photos are automatically cut to the appropriate format, removed from annoying elements in the background and optionally saved in various dimensions and aspect ratios.

One possible solution

You place a photo box set up for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the Katine, at the ID or at the reception in a relaxed corner.
The space requirement is approx. 1.5m x 1m.
There, the employees can sit down in front of the photo box, similar to a passport photo machine, and read the instructions for the required actions on the screen.

The monitor serves as a touchscreen in parallel 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 can simply be read from the company ID card. The information recorded in this way is then part of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Optionally, a data protection screen with a checkbox for internal / external use of the recording can also be displayed.

Following the photograph of the employee portrait, the background of the recording can be automatically exchanged for one or different backgrounds you have specified. The head is also determined for each photo, adjusted to a specified size and positioned on the final image at a specified position.

The image is saved in a size and aspect ratio that you specify (e.g. square for the ActiveDirectory). The file name is used to compare the photographed image and the in-house employee data set. We would be happy to help your IT department clarify the interface.

A biometric check and an adaptation to a biometric ID photo are available as an optional expansion stage.
The image output can happen in several dimensions at the same time.
So you always have the ideal photo for
the CRM system, XING, LinkedIn, WhatsApp & Co, Facebook, Instagram
etc. at hand.

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

Advantages of automatic photo processes for reliable employee photos

• low workload
• Independently created professional staff photos in the highest DSLR quality and studio lighting technology
• the employee photo box is significantly cheaper than a booked portrait photographer
• even the name of the employee can be digitally inserted into the picture without manual rework.
• RAW data can also be saved on request
• perfect throughput speed when many employees have to be photographed in a short time frame
• optional data acquisition before or during the recording sequence

How does the employee get their photo?

So that not only the CRM system or the ActiveDirectory comes into possession of the new photos, there are three different ways for employees to receive their picture as a file.

1. Download from an offline gallery via QR code
   The photobooth provides its own WLAN which the employee has to dial into.
   At the end of the recording, a QR code is displayed on the screen. The QR code leads to the offline gallery in which employees can download their pictures. In contrast to the online gallery, this path only goes in the immediate vicinity of the photo box.
2. Enter the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   In this case, the photo taken is sent directly to the employee's mailbox.
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 down his or her original photo and the different sizes for the various target systems.

Additional uses

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

• Pictures of groups of visitors, e.g. after a lecture
• Creation of biometric passport photos and ID photos
• Employee photos (as explained above)
• Use at trade fairs to create personalized “flyers”
• Use at company parties (summer party, Christmas party ...}

The need for investment

The investment for the purchase of such a customized photo box starts at around € 4,400 plus VAT and is worthwhile for companies with around 100 employees.
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 later purchase if the system is purchased immediately.

Since the system was introduced in 2019, two photo boxes have been set up permanently in this country and in Zurich.

Both at WWZ AG in Switzerland and at Haufe Lexware, the system is very popular with employees.
