The use of a photo box for employee photos

The employees in your company have the opportunity to create and / or update their individual employee photo at a fixed or regularly changing location (e.g. in the dining room or the company canteen or HR department).
It is essential that this takes place in the form of a self-service process and that you do not need additional personnel on site.
You give your staff the chance to always fully identify themselves with their own employee photo.

The staff photos can be automatically cut to the appropriate format, freed from annoying elements in the background and optionally saved in several sizes and aspect ratios.

A suggested solution

You place a photo box perfect for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the HR department, at the ID card or at the entrance in a quiet corner.
The space requirement is around 1.5mx 1m.
There the employees will stand in front of the photo booth in the same way as with the passport photo machine and see the operating instructions for the necessary steps on the screen.

The monitor serves as a touch screen at the same time as an input terminal for the required data such as B. Personal identification, name, surname and / or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photo box can also be configured so that the data can be read in directly from the employee ID card. The information recorded in this way is then later part of the file name of the employee photo.
Optionally, a data protection screen can also be displayed with a release option for internal / external use of the recording.

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

The photo is saved in a size and aspect ratio specified by you (e.g. square for the ActiveDirectory). The name of the file is used to compare the photographed photo and the internal 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 is available as an optional extension.
The image output can happen at the same time to some extent.
So you always have the right photo for
Outlook, Instagram, Twitter, XING, Facebook
etc. lying ready.

Of course, each file can also be “branded” 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 professional employee photos

• RAW data is also backed up as required
• optional data acquisition before or during the recording sequence
• optional branding with your background and logo.
• perfect throughput speed when many employees have to be scanned in a short period of time
• Employee portraits according to your corporate design
• the employee photo box is noticeably cheaper than a booked portrait photographer
• even the name of the employee can be automatically inserted into the photo without manual rework.

How does the photographed person get the picture?

So that not only the CRM system or the ActiveDirectory can benefit from the new recordings, there are three different ways for the employee to receive his photo as a file.

1. Download from an offline gallery via QR code
   The photo box provides its own WLAN that the employee has to dial into.
   At the end of the recording, a QR code is displayed on the screen. That QR code leads to an offline gallery from which the employee can copy his photos. In contrast to the online gallery, this path 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 out on the touchscreen, which the employee can use to download the original photo and the various 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.

Alternative uses

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

• Employee photos (as described above)
• Production of biometric passport photos and ID photos
• Photo attraction at customer events & meetings
• Use at employee parties (summer party, Christmas party ...}
• Use at trade fairs to create personalized “flyers”

The need for investment

The cost of purchasing a photo box optimized in this way starts at around € 4,400 plus VAT and pays off for companies with around 100 employees.
Of course, there is also the opportunity 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 photo box is purchased immediately.

Customer ratings

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

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