Do you intend to keep your workforce portraits for one of the following areas up to date?

• HR systems
• Passport photos for travel planning
• Internet
• Outlook
• V cards

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

The mission goal

The workforce in your company is given the option to photograph and / or update their personal employee photo at a fixed location or at regularly changing locations (e.g. in the casino or the company canteen or HR department).
It is essential that this is the case in the form of a self-service process and that additional employees are not needed on site.
You give your workforce the chance to identify themselves completely at any time with their personal employee photo.

The staff photos are automatically cut to the appropriate format, removed from annoying elements in the background and optionally saved in various sizes and aspect ratios.

A suggested solution

You place a photo box optimized for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the HR department, at the ID or at the entrance in a relaxed corner.
The space requirement is approx. 1.5m x 1m.
There, the employees are allowed to stand in front of the photo booth, similar to the passport photo machine, and read the instructions for the necessary steps on the monitor.

The monitor serves as a touchscreen at the same time as an input terminal for the necessary information such as B. Personnel number, first name, last name and / or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photo box can also be programmed so that the data can be read directly from the employee ID. The data recorded in this way is then an element 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 employee picture has been taken, the background of the picture can be automatically exchanged for one or various backgrounds you have specified. The head is also determined for each photo, scaled to a specified size and positioned on the final image at a specified position.

The recording is saved in a size and aspect ratio specified by you (e.g. square for the ActiveDirectory). A comparison between the saved image and the in-house employee data record takes place via the file name. We would be happy to help your IT department define the interface.

A biometric check and an adaptation to a biometric ID photo are available as an extra expansion stage.
The image output can take place in several forms at the same time.
So you always have the best photo for
Twitter, Facebook, the CRM system, XING, Outlook, LinkedIn
etc. ready.

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

Advantages of automated photo processes for reliable employee photos

• automatic branding with your background and logo.
• minimal labor
• the employee photo box is noticeably cheaper than a rented photographer
• perfect throughput speed when a large number of employees have to be photographed in a small time interval
• Workforce portraits according to your corporate design
• Extra data acquisition before or during the recording sequence
• automatically created professional staff photos in best DSLR quality and studio flash technology

How does the photographed person get their photo?

So that not only the CRM system or the ActiveDirectory can benefit from the new images, there are three different ways for the workforce to choose to receive their image as a file.

1. Enter the e-mail address at the end of the photo sequence.
   The captured photo is immediately sent to the employee's mailbox.
2. Download via QR code from an offline gallery
   The photo box provides its own WLAN which the workforce 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 in which the staff can copy down their pictures. In contrast to the online gallery, this path only works in the direct vicinity of the photo box.
3. Download from an online gallery
   At the end of the sequence, a code is displayed or printed on the screen, which the staff can use to download their original photo and the different versions for the various target systems.

Alternative deployment options

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

• Employee photos (as explained above)
• Production of biometric passport photos and ID photos
• Use at trade fairs to produce personalized “flyers”
• Pictures of groups of visitors, e.g. after a presentation
• Photo attraction at customer events & conferences
• Use at staff parties (summer party, Christmas party ...}

The need for investment

The cost of purchasing such a perfect photo box starts at around € 4,400 plus VAT and is worthwhile for companies with around 100 employees or more.
Of course, there is also the option to try out the system beforehand on a rental basis for € 650 + € 1 / employee photo plus VAT per week.
1/2 of the rent will be credited to the later purchase if the photo box is kept immediately.

recommendations

Since the system was introduced in 2019, two photo boxes 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.
