About Blink

Blink is an employee super-app and portal solution for mobile teams to encourage communication, enhance productivity, and keep everyone informed. Designed to transform the employee experience by offering a mobile-first experience and one unified communications platform, Blink boasts features such as a customizable activity feed, team calendars, third party integrations, messaging functionality, unified search, and more.

With the aim of helping teams to communicate, no matter where they are, the Blink feed provides a mobile-first, personalized work feed to present all key information in one place. The universal feed can be used to communicate relevant messages, news, videos, documents, training content, or notifications, and the integrated solution creates one streamlined workflow without the need to switch between other business apps. Blink also integrates with other communications tools including Office 365 and G Suite to provide a team events calendar, with data combined from any connected accounts, as well as a universal search functionality which searches for data across all linked applications.

Blink provides users with the tools to create micro-apps within the Blink platform so that businesses can create their own system without the need for the technical knowledge required for creating a native mobile app. Users can create micro-apps within Blink for connecting access and payment cards, absence management, project reporting, automating timesheets, training booking, knowledge search, and more, and apps are optimized for desktops, mobiles, and tablets.


Key benefits of Blink

  • Facilitate communication with the Blink messaging feature which allows users to create group conversations where they can share files and information, and search conversation history to find any missed interactions.

  • Manage security and compliance within Blink’s security measures which include data AES-256 encryption, threat monitoring, compliance rules management, auditing, Single Sign On (SSO), and multi-factor authentication.

  • Access workforce analytics to gain insight into employee engagement and highlight positive and negative relationships so that any issues can be anticipated and acted on accordingly.

  • Quickly find documents, messages, emails, and more using the unified search feature which allows users to search across all connected apps and platforms. Integrate with third party applications such as Office 365, Dropbox, G Suite, Salesforce, and more to search across accounts.

  • Build micro mobile-apps within Blink and convert existing web apps into mobile apps for things such as payments, timesheets, training, project management, absence tracking, knowledge search, and more.

    Blink is really awesome!

    Reviewed on 2018/03/20

    Pros

    Blink provides me with an excellent way of communicating with colleagues and getting company updates out to the wider business. I find it better than email as it has a more natural flow and much more efficient as you can create multiple relevant chats and groups for all your requirements. Notifications are great and it intergrates with all my other apps.

    Cons

    I'm looking forward to the getting an update to enable messages to be sent after being offline, this would enable
    Me to use offline and keep up to date with chats.

    Blink has really changed the way our business looks at communicating with our front line workers. We've had this for almost 3 years now and we haven't looked back since.

    It's so easy to onboard our new workers to the business, and the ability to share information instantly is amazing!

    Cons

    There's nothing at all that I like least about this software

    Communication Tool

    Reviewed on 2022/10/14

    Pros

    Customizable communication tool. Holds all colleagues contacts and can be used as a single point of contact. Very useful and used even more since Covid and has not become a critical point of my daily

    Cons

    Uploads are cumbersome. The platform is good for basic communication but cannot handle large campaigns or file sharing.
