Overview

Product Information on Blink

Updated 13th October 2025

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 Pricing

Blink software offers subscription-based pricing, typically structured per user per month, with different tiers designed to address varying organizational needs. Each tier provides access to communication and collaboration features suitable for workforce management, and pricing may scale according to the number of users or additional functionalities included in the selected plan.

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.

Blink Likes & Dislikes

Like

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

Like

The feed, the apps and hub are easy to use. I also like that it's easy to create and manage groups.

Like

I think i enjoy the ability to see what others are getting up to throughout their day, especially the support workers in the service and to see the care we give the individuals we support. I also like that Blink is constantly changing and bringing out new features such as the events or stories

Dislike

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?

Dislike

The search function in the directory isn't very intuitive, and voice and video calls are quite patchy. A 'news' article feature would also be useful to share longer content.

Dislike

Blink can sometimes be laggy at times when introducing new features.

    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

    Apr 1, 2026
    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.
