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

The mission goal

The employees in your company get the chance to photograph 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 can be independently cut to the best possible format, freed from annoying elements in the background and, if desired, saved in different shapes and aspect ratios.

One possible solution

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

The screen serves as a touchscreen at the same time as an input terminal for the required information such as B. ID, first name, last name and / or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photo box can also be programmed so that the data can be read out immediately 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 disclaimer screen with a checkbox for internal / external use of the image can also be displayed.

After the photograph of the employee picture, the background of the picture can automatically be exchanged for one or different backgrounds you have specified. The head is also determined for each photo, scaled to a specified size and placed on the final image at a defined point.

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 recorded portrait and the internal employee data record. We would be happy to support your IT department in clarifying the import interface.

A biometric check and a cut to a biometric ID photo are available as an additional expansion stage.
The image output can take place in several dimensions at the same time.
So you always have the right photo for
XING, WhatsApp & Co, Instagram, Facebook, Outlook
etc. lying ready.

Of course, each file can also be “personalized” by means of a company logo and / or the name and position of the employee are immediately included on the picture.

Special advantages of automatic photo processes for reliable employee photos

• Employee portraits according to your corporate design
• low workload
• automatically created, reliable staff photos in best DSLR quality and studio flash technology
• Extra data acquisition before or during the recording sequence
• Optimized throughput speed if many employees have to be photographed in a short time interval
• digital branding with your background and logo.
• if necessary, RAW data are also saved
• the employee photo box is noticeably more cost-effective than a hired portrait photographer
• even the name of the employee can be automatically added to the photo without manual rework.

How does the employee get the picture?

So that the CRM system or the ActiveDirectory alone does not come into possession of the new images, there are three different ways for employees to get their photos digitally.

1. Enter the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   In this case, the captured photo is immediately sent to the employee's mailbox.
2. Download from an online gallery
   At the end of the recording, a code is displayed or printed on the touchscreen, which the employee can use to download the original recording as well as the various versions for the different target systems.
3. 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 recording, a QR code is displayed on the screen. The QR code leads to an offline gallery in which the employee can load his photos. In contrast to the online gallery, this path only goes in the immediate vicinity of the photo booth.

Other uses

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

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

The cost frame

The investment for the acquisition of such an optimized photo box starts at approx. 4,400 € plus VAT and pays off for companies with around 100 employees.
It goes without saying that there is also the option of trying 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 photo box is purchased immediately.

recommendations

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

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