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

• Flyer
• Intranet
• the CRM
• Exchange
• ActiveDirectory

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 their personal employee photo at a fixed or regularly changing location (e.g. in the dining room or in the company canteen or HR department).
It is essential that this is achieved in the form of a self-service process and that additional employees are not needed on site.
You give your staff the opportunity to identify themselves completely at any time with their personal employee photo.

The staff photos are automatically optimized to the best format, freed from disturbing elements in the background and optionally saved in different sizes and aspect ratios.

One possible solution

You place a photo box optimized for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the Katine, at the ID or at the entrance 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 necessary steps on the screen.

The monitor serves as a touchscreen at the same time as an input terminal for the necessary information such as B. Employee ID, name, family name and / or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photo booth can also be set up so that the data can be read directly from the company ID card. The data collected in this way then becomes part of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Optionally, a disclaimer screen with a checkbox for internal / external use of the recording can also be set up.

After the photograph of the employee portrait, the background of the recording can be automatically exchanged for one or many of the backrounds you specified. The head of each photo is also determined, scaled to a specified size and positioned on the final image at a defined point.

The image is saved in a size and aspect ratio you have specified (e.g. square for the ActiveDirectory). The file name is used to compare the saved photo and the in-house employee data record. We would be happy to help your IT department define the connection.

A biometric check and an adaptation to a biometric ID photo are available as an extra expansion stage.
The image output can take place simultaneously in different dimensions.
So you always have the best possible photo for
Instagram, Facebook, the CRM system, Outlook, XING
etc. lying ready.

Logically, each file can also be “personalized” with logos and / or the name and position of the employee are immediately visible on the picture.

BENEFITS of automatic photo processes for reliable employee photos

• The name of the employee can also be digitally inserted into the picture without manual rework.
• minimal labor
• Employee photos according to their corporate design
• the employee photo box is significantly cheaper than a rented portrait photographer
• additional data acquisition before or during the acquisition sequence
• digital branding with your motif and logo.
• optimized throughput speed when many employees are to be photographed in a small time interval
• if necessary, RAW data are also saved
• Independently created professional staff photos in maximum DSLR quality and studio lighting technology

How does the staff get their photo?

So that not only the CRM system or the ActiveDirectory can benefit from the new photos, the employee can choose between three different ways to receive his photo as a file.

1. 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 various sizes for the various target systems.
2. Enter the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   The photo taken is then sent to the employee's mailbox.
3. Download from an offline gallery via QR code
   The Photo Box provides its own WLAN which 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 the offline gallery in which the employee can copy his pictures. In contrast to the online gallery, this path only takes place in the immediate vicinity of the photo box.

Other uses

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

• Pictures of groups of visitors, e.g. after a tour of the company
• Creation of biometric passport photos and ID photos
• Use at employee parties (summer party, Christmas party ...}
• Employee photos (as already described)
• Use at trade fairs to produce personalized “flyers”

The cost frame

The investment for purchasing such a customized photo booth starts at around € 4,400 plus VAT and pays off for companies with around 100 employees.
Of course there is also the option 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 offset against the subsequent purchase if the photo box is taken over directly.

Customer ratings

Since the system was implemented in 2019, two systems have been permanently installed in Germany and Zurich.

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