Visit Blink

Blink is a mobile-first employee experience platform that brings internal communications, chat, knowledge, tasks, shifts, surveys, and AI assistants into a single app with single sign-on. It is designed to reach frontline and desk-based workers who may not have email or company devices, replacing bulletin boards, group texts, and scattered tools with one destination for news, work, and answers.

Core capabilities include a Feed with priority posts, read receipts, and acknowledgment tracking; Chat and Voice & Video; Stories and Recognition; Tasks and Shifts; Documents; Surveys, Polls, and AI-powered analytics; and employee journeys for onboarding and milestones. An App Marketplace provides integrations with third-party tools, and AI agents can surface answers from HR, IT, and operations systems. The platform runs on AWS with encryption in transit and at rest, and its security program aligns with Cyber Essentials and NCSC Cloud Security Principles.

Blink is intended for organizations of varying sizes across industries including restaurants, healthcare, hotels, retail, transit, manufacturing, logistics, and construction. It is available as a free trial, with a demo option for evaluation; further packaging details are not specified on these pages.
