The mission goal

The employees in your company have the opportunity to photograph and / or update the individual employee photo at a fixed or regularly changing location (e.g. in the casino or the company canteen or HR department).
It is essential that this is the case in the form of a self-service process and that you do not need additional staff on site.
This gives your teams the option of fully identifying themselves around the clock with their personal employee photo.

The staff photos are automatically cut to the optimum 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 set up for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the Katine, at the ID card or at the entrance 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 in the same way as with a passport photo machine and see the operating instructions for the necessary steps on the touchscreen.

The screen serves as a touchscreen at the same time as an input terminal for the necessary information such as B. Personal identification, first name, last name and / or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photo box can also be set up so that the data can be read directly from the employee ID card. The information recorded in this way then becomes a component of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Optionally, a disclaimer screen with a checkbox for internal / external use of the photo can also be displayed.

After the photo of the employee has been taken, the background of the photo can be automatically exchanged for one or more background settings you have specified. The head is also determined for each photo, scaled to a specified size and placed on the final image at a specified location.

The photo is saved in a size and aspect ratio defined by you (e.g. square for the ActiveDirectory). The name of the file is used to compare the photographed image and the internal employee data record. We would be happy to support your IT department in determining the import interface.

A biometric check and a cut to a biometric ID photo are available as additional extensions.
The image output can take place in parallel in different forms.
So you always have the best possible photo for
XING, Outlook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, the CRM system
etc. lying ready.

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

Advantages of automatic photo processes for professional employee photos

• the employee photo box is noticeably cheaper than a rented portrait photographer
• RAW data can also be saved on request
• low workload
• Independently created reliable staff photos in the highest DSLR quality and studio flash technology
• automatic branding with your background and logo.
• Employee photos according to their corporate design
• additional data acquisition before or during the acquisition sequence
• perfect throughput speed when many employees have to be scanned in a short period of time

How did the staff get the photo?

So that the CRM system or the ActiveDirectory alone does not come into possession of the new photos, the employee can choose between three different ways to receive his picture digitally.

1. Download via QR code from an offline gallery
   The photo box provides a private WLAN which the employee has to dial into.
   At the end of the photo sequence, a QR code is displayed on the screen. This QR code leads to an offline gallery from which the employee can download his photos. In contrast to the online gallery, this way only works in the direct 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 or her original photo and the different sizes for the various target systems.
3. Enter the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   The photo taken is sent directly to the employee's email inbox.

Other possible uses

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

• Recording of biometric passport photos and ID photos
• Photo attraction at customer events & meetings
• Use at trade fairs to create personalized “flyers”
• Use at employee parties (summer party, Christmas party ...}
• Photos of groups of visitors, e.g. after a lecture

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 worthwhile for companies with around 100 employees.
Of course, there is also the option to test 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 retained.
