Collaboration is now at the heart of most business processes. Whether you’re running an active company with in-office employees, you have front-line workers to consider, or you’re embracing the rise of remote working, you need the right collaborative system in place.

Providing instantaneous forms of communication, content sharing, and teamwork, these tools give businesses the power they need to delight employees and customers at the same time. Everywhere you look, major players like Microsoft and Slack are dominating the marketplace. However, there’s still room for alternative solutions to make an impact too.

Blink is an all-in-one employee app designed for the modern workplace. The solution is designed to help companies reach everyone, empower people, and transform engagement, one step at a time. Here’s what you need to know about Blink.

Blink: The All-in-One Employee App

Created as a solution to support frontline industries like retail, hospitality, and transportation, Blink is more than just another app for internal communications. This employee tool is intended to empower staff wherever they are – whether they’re working at the desk or they’re on the frontlines. Combining workplace messaging with access to information like policies, training documents, and even holiday booking forms, the solution has everything an employee needs to stay on the ball.

Winners of the 2019 Step-Two intranet award in Sydney and the Digital Workplace of the year in Chicago award, Blink offers features like:

  • A fully-customisable intranet dashboard that keeps frontline workers in-the-know
  • Personalised messaging feeds
  • Document sharing and collaboration features
  • HR tool kit and automation hub for digitising paper process
  • Newsfeed full of priority-first information
  • Micro applications for project reporting, absences, and timesheet management
  • Unified search to help users track down crucial information
  • Social design that feels similar to a social network
  • In-depth workflow analytics for incredible business insights
  • Compliance support with proactive approach to monitoring
  • Secure platform with AES-256 encryption

The Benefits of Working with Blink

Designed to go beyond the basic features of a traditional intranet, Blink takes communication and collaboration in your workplace to the next level. In a time when employees are constantly losing valuable time switching between apps and tabs, Blink can combine everything from documents and news updates to collaboration tools in the same place.

What’s more, while Blink has a variety of fantastic services already built in to make your teams more productive and efficient, you’re also free to add your own integrations with leading solutions like G Suite, Dropbox, and Salesforce. Benefits include:

  • A fully engaged workforce: The intranet features of Blink are just one part of a comprehensive dashboard that keeps all of your team members in the know – even the people on the front line
  • Easier HR management: Handle things like unplanned absences, vacation requests, and time management from the same place. This ensures that your team can run more smoothly, with fewer disruptions
  • A simple and familiar interface: The customisable news feeds delivered by Blink provide a social media-style interface where your team members can catch up on information or search for the data that they need using a fantastic unified search solution
  • Customisation options: Transform your Blink workspaces to suit your business requirements, with micro-apps that handle everything from unplanned absences to product database updates. You can also add integrations with third-party tools too
  • A secure and compliant approach: As well as bringing your team together in a more immersive environment, Blink gives you peace of mind with the opportunity to monitor messaging in real-time, and plenty of security built-in. There are various encryption standards implemented to let you know your communications are going to stay private
  • Analytics and reporting: Find out exactly what makes your team tick with in-depth insights into your organisation. Reports and analytics mean that you can find new ways of making your company more productive

Transform Your Workplace Once and For All

Blink takes the old-fashioned intranet that many businesses have grown with over the years and combines it with the rising demand for more social and collaborative tools. This creates an environment for front-line and in-office workers that brings every member of your team together and ensures that everyone stays engaged.

Not only is Blink a game-changer when it comes to workplace happiness, giving frontline workers and other distant employees more access to information – but it supports other end-goals too. After all, happy employees almost constantly lead towards happier customers.
