The mission goal

The employees in your company are given the opportunity to create and / or update their personal 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 staff are not needed on site.
You give your teams the option to identify themselves completely around the clock with their individual employee photo.

The staff photos are independently optimized to the best possible format, removed from annoying elements in the background and, if desired, saved in different dimensions and aspect ratios.

The solution

You position a photo box that is perfect for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the HR department, at the ID or at the reception in a quiet corner.
The space requirement is approx. 1.5m x 1m.
There, the employees can stand in front of the photo box, similar to a passport photo machine, and read the instructions for the necessary steps on the display.

The monitor serves as a touchscreen at the same time as an input terminal for the required information such as B. Personal identification, first name, family 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 employee data collected in this way are then a component of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Optionally, a data protection screen can also be displayed with a release option for internal / external use of the photo.

After the photo of the employee's picture has been taken, the background of the picture can be automatically replaced with one or more backrounds specified by you. The head is also determined for each photo, adjusted to a specified size and placed on the final image at a specified location.

The photo is saved in a size and aspect ratio that you have specified (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 help your IT department specify the connection.

A biometric check and an adaptation to a biometric ID photo are available as an optional expansion stage.
The image output can take place simultaneously in many dimensions.
So you always have the best photo for
Twitter, WhatsApp & Co, the CRM system, LinkedIn
etc. lying ready.

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

ADVANTAGES of automated photo processes for reliable employee photos

• Employee portraits according to your corporate design
• the employee photo box is significantly cheaper than a booked portrait photographer
• optional data acquisition before or during the acquisition sequence
• optional branding with your background and logo.
• minimized work time
• automatically created, reliable staff photos in maximum DSLR quality and studio flash technology
• RAW data can also be saved if required
• optimized throughput speed if a large number of employees are to be scanned in a short period of time
• The name of the person photographed can also be digitally added to the picture without manual rework.

How does the employee get the photo?

So that not only the CRM system or the ActiveDirectory get the new photos, there are three different ways for the employee to get his photo as a file.

1. Entry of the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   Then the captured photo will be sent to the employee's email address.
2. 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 sequence, a QR code is displayed on the touchscreen. The QR code leads to an offline gallery in which the employee can copy his photos. In contrast to the online gallery, this way only works in the direct vicinity of the Photo Box.
3. Download from an online gallery
   At the end of the photo sequence, a code is displayed or printed on the screen, which the employee can use to copy down the original photo and the different formats for the various target systems.

Additional uses

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

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

The need for investment

The price for buying a photo booth optimized in this way starts at approx. 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 kept immediately.

recommendations

Since the system was introduced in 2019, two systems have been set up permanently in Germany and Zurich.

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