The use of a photo box for employee photos

The employees in your company have the opportunity to photograph and / or update their personal employee photo at a fixed or periodically alternating location (e.g. in the casino or the company canteen or HR department).
It is important that this takes place in the form of a self-service process and that additional employees are not needed on site.
This gives your staff the option to always fully identify themselves with their individual employee photo.

The staff photos can be automatically cut to the ideal format, freed from disturbing elements in the background and, if desired, saved in different dimensions and aspect ratios.

One possible solution

You position a photo box that is perfect for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the Katine, at the ID or at the reception in a relaxed corner.
The space required is approx. 1.5 mx 1 m.
There, the employees are allowed to sit in front of the photo box, similar to the passport photo machine, and see the instructions for the required actions on the monitor.

The monitor serves as a touchscreen at the same time as an input terminal for the necessary information such as B. Employee ID, first name, family name and / or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photo box can also be configured in such a way that the data is read in immediately from the employee ID. The data collected in this way then becomes part of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Optionally, a data protection screen with a checkbox for internal / external use of the employee profile can also be displayed.

After the photo of the employee portrait, the background of the photo can be automatically replaced with one or many of the backgrounds you have specified. The head is also determined for each photo, adjusted to a specified size and positioned on the final image at a specified position.

The recording is saved in a size and aspect ratio that you have specified (e.g. square for the ActiveDirectory). A comparison is made between the recorded portrait and the in-house employee data set via the name of the picture. We would be happy to support your IT department in determining the import interface.

A biometric check and a cut to a biometric ID photo are available as an additional expansion stage.
The image output can happen in several formats at the same time.
So you always have the best possible photo for
XING, the CRM system, Outlook, WhatsApp & Co, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram
etc. lying ready.

Of course, each file can also be “branded” with logos and / or the name and position of the employee can be directly on the picture.

Advantages of automatic photo processes for professional employee photos

• automatic branding with your background and logo.
• RAW data is also saved as required
• Independently made professional staff photos in maximum DSLR quality and studio flash technology
• the employee photo box is noticeably cheaper than a booked portrait photographer
• Extra data acquisition before or during the recording sequence
• even the name of the employee can be automatically inserted into the photo without manual rework.
• perfect throughput speed when many employees have to be photographed in a short time interval
• Company photos according to your corporate design

How did the staff come to the picture?

So that the CRM system or the ActiveDirectory alone does not come into possession of the new photos, there are three different ways for employees to get their photos digitally.

1. Download via QR code from an offline gallery
   The photo box provides a private WLAN which the employee has to dial into.
   At the end of the recording, a QR code is displayed on the screen. The QR code leads to the offline gallery in which employees can load their pictures. In contrast to the online gallery, this path only works in the direct vicinity of the photo box.
2. Entry of the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   Then the captured photo will be sent to the employee's email address.
3. Download from an online gallery
   At the end of the recording, a code is displayed or printed out on the screen, which the employee can use to download his or her original photo and the different sizes for the various target systems.

Other deployment options

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

• Creation of biometric passport photos and ID photos
• Photo attraction at customer events & meetings
• Use at company parties (summer party, Christmas party ...}
• Employee photos (as already explained)
• Use at trade fairs to produce personalized “flyers”

The need for investment

The investment for purchasing a photo box adapted in this way starts at around € 4,400 plus VAT and pays off for organizations with around 100 employees.
Of course, there is also the chance to test the system beforehand 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 kept directly.

Customer ratings

Since the implementation of the system in 2019, two systems have been permanently installed in this country and in Zurich.

The system is very popular with colleagues at WWZ AG in Zurich and at Haufe Lexware.
