The use of a photo box for employee photos

The staff in your company have the opportunity to create and/or update their own employee photo at a fixed or regularly changing location (e.g. in the casino or the company canteen or human resources department).
It is essential that this is achieved in the form of a self-service process and that additional employees are not needed on site.
You give your staff the chance to identify themselves 100% with their individual employee photo.

The personal photos are automatically cut to the ideal format, freed from annoying elements in the background and optionally saved in different dimensions and aspect ratios.

The solution

You place a photo box perfect for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the Katine, at the ID or at the entrance in a quiet corner.
The space required is approx. 1.5 mx 1 m.
There, the employees can stand in front of the photo box and see the operating instructions for the necessary steps on the screen, as with the passport photo machine.

The screen serves as a touch screen at the same time as an input terminal for the necessary data such as e.g. B. Employee ID, name, surname and/or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photobooth can also be programmed in such a way that the data can be read directly from the employee ID card. The employee data collected in this way then becomes part of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Optionally, a disclaimer screen with a release option for internal/external use of the photo can also be displayed.

After the employee photo has been taken, the background of the recording can be automatically replaced with one or more backgrounds specified by you. The head is also identified for each photo, adjusted to a specified size and positioned at a specified location on the final image.

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

A biometric check and an adaptation to a biometric ID photo is available as an optional extension.
The image output can take place in parallel in various forms.
So you always have the best photo for
XING, WhatsApp & Co, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook
etc. within easy reach.

Of course, each file can also be "branded" with company logos and/or the name and position of the employee will be directly visible on the image.

Advantages of automated photo processes for professional employee photos

• RAW data can also be saved on request
• the employee photo box is noticeably cheaper than a hired photographer
• automatically produced, reliable staff photos in the highest DSLR quality and studio lighting technology
• minimal labor
• Personal photos according to your corporate design
• optional data acquisition before or during the acquisition sequence
• perfect throughput speed when many personnel have to be photographed in a short period of time
• The name of the employee can also be automatically inserted into the photo without manual rework.
• digital branding with your motif and logo.

How did the staff come to the picture?

So that not only the CRM system or the Active Directory can enjoy the new recordings, there are three different ways for the staff to get their picture digitally.

1. Enter the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   The photo taken is immediately sent to the employee's e-mail address.
2. Download from an offline gallery via QR code
   The photobox provides a private WLAN which the staff has to dial into.
   At the end of the sequence, a QR code is displayed on the screen. The QR code leads to the offline gallery from which staff can download their photos. In contrast to the online gallery, this way only works 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 screen or printed out, which the staff can use to download their original photo and the various formats for the various target systems.

Other deployment options

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

• Photo attraction at customer events & meetings
• Employee photos (as already described)
• Use at staff parties (summer party, Christmas party ...}
• Photos of groups of visitors, e.g. after a guided tour
• Recording of biometric passport photos and ID photos

The need for investment

The investment for the purchase of a photo box adapted in this way starts at around €4,400 plus VAT and is therefore worthwhile for companies with around 100 or more employees.
Of course there is also the possibility 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 offset against the subsequent purchase if the photo box is taken over directly.

references

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

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