The use of a photo box for employee photos

The staff in your company have the opportunity to create and/or update the individual employee photo at a fixed location or at periodically changing locations (e.g. in the dining room or company canteen or human resources department).
It is important that this takes place in the form of a self-service process and that additional personnel are not needed on site.
You give your employees the option to identify themselves to 100% at any time with their personal employee photo.

The personal photos are automatically cut to the best possible format, freed from annoying elements in the background and optionally saved in several sizes and aspect ratios.

The solution

You place a photo box optimized for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the Katine, at the ID card or at the reception in a quiet corner.
The space required is approx. 1.5 mx 1 m.
There, the employees can sit in front of the photo box, similar to a passport photo machine, and see the operating instructions for the necessary actions on the display.

The screen serves as a touchscreen at the same time as an input terminal for the required data such as B. Employee ID, first name, last name and / or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photo box can also be set up in such a way that the data is simply read in from the company ID card. The employee data recorded in this way is then later part of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Optionally, a disclaimer screen can be displayed with a confirmation option for internal / external use of the image.

After photographing the employee portrait, the background of the image can be automatically replaced with one or many backgrounds specified by you. The head is also identified for each photo, scaled to a specified size and positioned at a specified location on the final image.

The photo is saved in a size and aspect ratio specified by you (eg square for Active Directory). 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 determine the connection.

A biometric check and an adaptation to a biometric ID photo are available as an additional expansion stage.
The image output can take place in different sizes at the same time.
So you always have the ideal photo for
WhatsApp & Co, LinkedIn, XING, the CRM system, Outlook, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook
etc. at hand.

Logically, each file can also be "branded" using company logos and/or the name and position of the employee can be immediately included in the image.

BENEFITS of automatic photo processes for professional employee photos

• digital branding with your background and logo.
• Self-made professional staff photos in best DSLR quality and studio flash technology
• The name of the employee can also be automatically inserted into the photo without manual rework.
• Workforce portraits according to your corporate design
• the employee photo box is significantly cheaper than a booked portrait photographer
• additional data acquisition before or during the recording sequence
• perfect throughput speed when many employees need to be photographed in a short time interval

How did the staff come to the picture?

So that not only the CRM system or the Active Directory comes into possession of the new pictures, there are three different ways for the workforce to get their picture digitally.

1. Download via QR code from an offline gallery
   The Photo Box provides its own WLAN that the workforce has to dial into.
   At the end of the photo sequence, a QR code is displayed on the screen. That QR code leads to the offline gallery from which the staff can download their pictures. In contrast to the online gallery, this way only works in the immediate vicinity of the photo box.
2. Entry of the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   The photo taken is sent directly to the employee's e-mail inbox.
3. Download from an online gallery
   At the end of the sequence, a code is displayed on the screen or printed out, which the staff can use to copy their original recording and the various formats for the various target systems.

Other uses

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

• Photo attraction at customer events & meetings
• Recording of biometric passport photos and ID photos
• Recordings of groups of visitors, e.g. after a tour of the company
• Employee photos (as already explained)
• Use at trade fairs to issue personalized “flyers”

The need for investment

The investment for the purchase of a photo box 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 option to test 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 system is kept immediately.

references

Since the implementation of the system in 2019, two photo boxes have been set up permanently in this country and in Zurich.

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