Do you intend to keep your inventory of employee photos for one of the following areas up to date?

• Flyer
• Exchange
• Intranet
• Internet
• the CRM
• HR systems
• Outlook

Then there is a photo box from Photo Booth Deluxe worth considering.

What should be achieved?

The employees in your company have the opportunity to create and/or update the individual employee photo at a fixed or periodically changing location (e.g. in the casino or the company canteen or human resources department).
It is essential that this takes place in the form of a self-service process and that extra personnel are not needed on the spot.
You give your employees the opportunity to identify themselves to 100% at any time with their individual employee photo.

The personal photos are automatically adjusted to the ideal format, freed from annoying elements in the background and optionally saved in different dimensions and aspect ratios.

A suggested solution

You position a photo box that is perfect for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the Katine, at the ID or at the entrance in a quiet corner.
The space required is approx. 1.5 mx 1 m.
There, the employees can sit down in front of the photo booth and read the instructions for the necessary actions on the touchscreen, just like with the photo booth.

The screen serves as a touchscreen at the same time as an input terminal for the necessary information such as e.g. B. Personnel identifier, first name, last name and/or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photo box can also be set up in such a way that the data can be read directly from the company ID card. The information collected in this way is then an element of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Optionally, a disclaimer screen can also be displayed with a release option for internal / external use of the employee profile.

After the photograph of the employee picture has been taken, the background of the recording can be automatically exchanged for one or several backgrounds specified by you. Likewise, the head of each photo is located, adjusted to a specified size and positioned at a defined point on the final image.

The photo is saved in a size and aspect ratio defined by you (eg square for Active Directory). The name of the picture is used to compare the photo taken with the in-house employee data record. We would be happy to help your IT department specify the import interface.

A biometric check and a cut to a biometric ID photo are available as an optional extension.
The image output can take place simultaneously in many dimensions.
So you always have the right photo for
the CRM system, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, XING, WhatsApp & Co, Outlook, Twitter
etc. are available.

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

ADVANTAGES of automatic photo processes for professional employee photos

• the employee photo box is noticeably cheaper than a booked photographer
• perfect throughput speed when many employees need to be photographed in a short time interval
• RAW data can also be saved on request
• additional data acquisition before or during the acquisition sequence
• minimal labor
• automatically created professional staff photos in best DSLR quality and studio lighting technology
• even the name of the employee can be automatically inserted into the picture without manual rework.
• automatic branding with your motif and logo.

How does the employee get his photo?

So that not only the CRM system or the Active Directory can benefit from the new photos, there are three different ways for the employee to choose from to also receive their photo digitally.

1. Download via QR code from an offline gallery
   The photobox provides a private WLAN that the employee has to dial into.
   At the end of the sequence, a QR code is displayed on the screen. The QR code leads to an offline gallery from which employees can download their photos. 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 photo sequence, a code is displayed or printed on the touchscreen, which the employee can use to download his original photo and the different sizes for the different target systems.
3. Enter the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   Then the captured photo is immediately sent to the employee's mailbox.

Additional deployment options

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

• Photo attraction at customer events & meetings
• Use at employee parties (summer party, Christmas party ...}
• Employee photos (as already described)
• Use at trade fairs to create personalized “flyers”
• Creation of biometric passport photos and ID photos
• Pictures of groups of visitors, e.g. after a tour

The need for investment

The investment for the purchase of a photo box optimized in this way starts at around €4,400 plus VAT and pays off for companies 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 kept immediately.

Customer ratings

Since the implementation of the system in 2019, two photo boxes have been permanently installed in Germany and Switzerland.

Both at WWZ AG in Zurich and at Haufe Lexware, the system has met with great approval from employees.
