What is Blink?

Blink is a software designed to facilitate workplace communication and collaboration for frontline employees. It integrates various functions such as messaging, news feeds, document sharing, task management, and scheduling into a single platform accessible through mobile and desktop applications. The software supports real-time communication, enabling staff to stay informed about company updates and organizational changes. Blink allows users to access essential resources, submit forms, and provide feedback, helping organizations streamline operational processes and improve internal workflows. The software aims to address the challenge of connecting distributed or remote teams by providing a centralized hub for information and interaction, thereby enhancing employee engagement and productivity in environments where employees may not have regular access to traditional communication channels.

Blink as a product is great. I had a great overall experience launching this product and supporting colleagues with their questions regarding the product post launch. I find it easy to get colleagues on board with using Blink and the majority of interactions I have had with frontline staff regarding Blink have been positive.

it is a good communicating tool for employees. However, i find once something has been posted onto the feed, it is hard to find it again to refer back too.

Blink Likes & Dislikes

Once users are on the platform it is easy to use and intuitive. This is so important to cater to the frontline population. The processes within the app are easy to understand. The design is modern and fun but still remains professional. It is tailored to the front-line staff. Love that there are many things handy for those who do not have laptops or work email addresses. Provides a lot of value to this group specifically

Communicating tool- avoids the need of sharing contact numbers etc Allows you to view profiles of people within the company very easy to set up new emoloyees. No one has difficulties logging on, new or exsisting employees. Does not create issues for management

Blink as a tool is fantastic and it's been great seeing it come to life across our business. We have already hit over 85% adoption within the first month which is a great achievement and proves the value of the platform across our business. It's been great seeing our drivers and engineers have a voice in the business and feel more connected. It's also great having all their key systems in one place. Blink is adaptable and we've been able to do a lot from a functional perspective to add value for our colleagues.

The export functionality for users is difficult to use as the file itself is not very tidy and it would be great for group admins to be able to export a simplified version of the file (just the names and emails). This would specifically be great for encouraging further employees to log-in to the app when targeting adoption in the first few weeks. The level of customisation on the app could be improved. I felt like there were specific edge-case scenarios that Blink wasn't able to handle i.e. Can I exclude a particular user from a group who does not meet the criteria of the dynamic group rulings? The design of the hub could be a bit tidier. This quickly becomes very large and messy, so maybe some section hiding or additional filtering would be good. Having to scroll all the way to the bottom of the hub is difficult as well (I mean in the admin panel but could also be applicable for the front end as well) The newsfeed can also become very large very quick, with important posts being missed. Maybe some kind of feature for admins to rank the importance of the post to show at what position this should be placed in the newsfeed?

Hard to find posts again. Search bar does not work as it should. When viewing someones profile, i would like to see what they have posted/interacted with. I feel it does not work well with our other platforms. Although not a specific Blink issue- it would be beneficial e.g Workday. Can create unprofessional conduct. Maybe there could be a way of alerting management through buzzwords e.g swearing

There are some small limitations in functionality but this will always happen across clients

We had excellent, regular touchpoints with the Blink team and remained closely connected throughout design, planning and right through to launch. The Blink team were consistently responsive, and it was really valuable that they could share best practice examples, host workshops for the wider team, and directly support wider business stakeholders such as our comms team. They were approachable, collaborative and delivered a good client experience.

Blink in our organization

Mar 19, 2026

Blink is a great app that allows the whole workforce to share important updates and just day to day experiences with the rest. Our workforce is different to many in the sense that we are all very split (services ect) so being able to have a platform where everyone comes together is great!

Transformational Communication for Frontline Colleagues but Irrelevant News Is an Issue

The Blink team have been fantastic every step of the way. No question is ever too much - they are always there to support and provide as much help as is needed. The implementation at our organization has been seamless with a 91% take up rate in 10 days - this is down to training and support we received from the Blink team.
