Blink

What Blink is

Blink is an employee experience app for bringing workplace communications and tools together for frontline and headquarters employees. Employees can use secure one-to-one and group chats, company news feeds, recognition, surveys, stories, and communities. AI help can assist with creating or improving feed posts. A knowledge hub, single sign-on, digital forms, and employee journeys add workplace services alongside communications. Blink offers native integrations with ServiceNow, Salesforce, Zoom, and Microsoft 365, and Zapier can connect it with over 1,000 other apps. An organization admin configures integrations before they are available to users. The platform runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows, with native mobile access. Blink says data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit over HTTPS using TLS. It also states that it is ISO 27001 certified and that its data centres comply with ISO 27001. The company lists healthcare, retail, manufacturing, transit, and logistics among the industries it serves. Pricing is listed from $3.75/user/mo (annual), with a 14-day trial and no free plan. Core is $4.50 per user per month, Pro is $6.00 per user per month, and Enterprise pricing is available by contacting sales.
