The use of a photo box for employee photos

The employees in your company have the opportunity to photograph and / or update their individual employee photo at a fixed location or at a location that changes at regular intervals (e.g. in the dining room or the company canteen or HR department).
It is important that this takes place in the form of a self-service process and that you do not need additional staff on site.
You give your teams the opportunity to identify themselves completely around the clock with their own employee photo.

The staff photos can be automatically adapted to the appropriate format, freed from disturbing elements in the background and optionally saved in different shapes and aspect ratios.

The solution

You place a photo box set up for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the HR department, at the ID card office or at the reception in a quiet corner.
The space requirement is approx. 1.5m x 1m.
There, employees can stand in front of the photo box, similar to a passport photo machine, and see the instructions for the necessary actions on the display.

The monitor serves as a touch screen at the same time as an input terminal for the required 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 card. The data collected in this way is then an element 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.

Following the photograph of the employee portrait, the background of the photo can be automatically exchanged for one or various backgrounds you have specified. The head of each photo is also analyzed, scaled to a specified size and placed in a defined position on the final image.

The photo is saved in a size and aspect ratio that you have specified (e.g. square for the ActiveDirectory). A comparison between the saved portrait and the internal employee data record takes place via the name of the file. We would be happy to help your IT department specify the interface.

A biometric check and a cut to a biometric ID photo are available as an additional expansion stage.
The image output can take place simultaneously to some extent.
So you always have the right photo for
the CRM system, XING, WhatsApp & Co, Outlook
etc. are available.

Of course, each file can also be “personalized” with the help of the logo and / or the name and position of the employee are immediately on the picture.

Advantages of automatic photo processes for professional employee photos

• automatically created professional staff photos in best DSLR quality and studio lighting technology
• optional data acquisition before or during the acquisition sequence
• Employee photographs according to your corporate design
• RAW data can also be saved on request
• optimized throughput speed if many employees are to be photographed in a short period of time
• the employee photo box is noticeably cheaper than a rented portrait photographer
• minimal labor

How did the staff come to the picture?

So that not only the CRM system or the ActiveDirectory get the new pictures, the employee can choose between three different ways to get his photo as a file.

1. Enter the e-mail address at the end of the photo sequence.
   Then the captured photo is immediately sent to the employee's mailbox.
2. Download from an online gallery
   At the end of the photo sequence, a code is displayed on the screen or printed out, which the employee can use to load his original photo and the various versions for the various target systems.
3. Download via QR code from an offline gallery
   The photobooth provides its own WLAN which the employee has to dial into.
   At the end of the photo sequence, a QR code is displayed on the screen. This QR code leads to an offline gallery from which the employee can copy his photos. In contrast to the online gallery, this path only goes in the direct vicinity of the photo box.

Additional deployment options

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

• Creation of biometric passport photos and ID photos
• Photos of groups of visitors, e.g. after a lecture
• Photo attraction at customer events & meetings
• Employee photos (as explained above)
• Use at employee parties (summer party, Christmas party ...}
• Use at trade fairs to issue personalized “flyers”

The need for investment

The price for purchasing a photo box optimized in this way starts at around € 4,400 plus VAT and pays off for companies with around 100 employees.
Of course, there is also the opportunity 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.

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

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