Do you want to keep your inventory of staff portraits for one of the following areas up to date?

• Outlook
• Time cards
• ActiveDirectory
• Intranet

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

The mission goal

The staff in your company have the opportunity to photograph and/or update the individual 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 achieved in the form of a self-service process and that additional employees are not needed on the spot.
You give your employees the option to always identify themselves to 100% with their personal employee photo.

The personal photos are automatically cut to the right format, removed from annoying elements in the background and saved in many sizes and aspect ratios if desired.

A suggested solution

You place a photo box that is perfect 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 around 1.5mx 1m.
There, the employees can stand in front of the photo box in the same way as with the passport photo machine and see the instructions for the necessary actions on the display.

The screen serves as a touch screen at the same time as an input terminal for the necessary information such as e.g. B. Personnel ID, first name, last name and/or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photo box can also be programmed in such a way that the data is read directly from the company ID card. The employee data collected in this way is then part of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Optionally, a data protection screen can also be set up with a release option for internal / external use of the photo.

Following the recording of the employee picture, the background of the recording can be automatically replaced with one or various backgrounds specified by you. The head is also located for each photo, adjusted to a specified size and placed in a defined position on the final image.

The image is saved in a size and aspect ratio defined by you (eg square for Active Directory). A comparison between the saved image and the in-house employee data record takes place via the name of the image. We would be happy to support your IT department in determining the interface.

A biometric check and a cut to a biometric ID photo are available as optional add-ons.
The image output can take place in parallel in several dimensions.
So you always have the best photo for
Twitter, the CRM system, XING, LinkedIn
etc. ready.

Of course, each file can also be “personalized” with the help of the logo and/or the employee's name and position can be directly visible on the image.

Advantages of automatic photo processes for professional employee photos

• even the name of the employee can be automatically inserted into the image without manual rework.
• automatically created professional staff photos in the highest DSLR quality and studio lighting technology
• additional data acquisition before or during the acquisition sequence
• minimized work time
• Workforce portraits according to your corporate design
• perfect throughput speed when many employees have to be photographed in a short period of time
• optional branding with your background and logo.
• the employee photo box is significantly cheaper than a booked portrait photographer

How does the photographed person get his picture?

So that not only the CRM system or the Active Directory gets the benefit of the new photos, there are three different ways for the workforce to choose from to get their picture as a file.

1. Enter the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   The photo taken is sent immediately to the employee's inbox.
2. Download from an offline gallery via QR code
   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. This QR code leads to the offline gallery from which the workforce can download their pictures. In contrast to the online gallery, this path is only possible in the immediate vicinity of the photo box.
3. Download from an online gallery
   At the end of the recording, a code is displayed on the touchscreen or printed out, which the staff can use to download the original recording and the various versions for the different target systems.

Alternative uses

In order to make the best possible use of your investment, you have the following options:

• Employee photos (as already described)
• Use at trade fairs to issue personalized “flyers”
• Photos of groups of visitors, for example after a presentation
• Recording of biometric passport photos and ID photos
• Use at staff parties (summer party, Christmas party ...}
• Photo attraction at customer events & conferences

The need for investment

The cost of purchasing a photobooth optimized in this way starts at around €4,400 plus VAT and pays off for companies with around 100 employees or more.
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 later purchase if the system is retained.

references

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

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