There's a whole workforce waiting to be unlocked

If you need to reach a frontline team, track who's read what, and keep operational comms moving, you need something built for that job specifically.

What are you here to fix?

Cut through the noise. Blink puts company news, critical updates, and leadership comms directly into the pockets of your frontline workers. With targeted push notifications and a mobile-first feed, you guarantee your message is seen—without needing corporate email addresses.

Unregulated WhatsApp chats are a security nightmare and blur work-life boundaries. Blink gives your team a secure, fully compliant chat platform built specifically for work. Protect company data, keep conversations professional, and let your team truly disconnect when they clock out.

Operations move fast. Blink integrates seamlessly with your existing scheduling and HR tools to make shift swaps, daily briefings, and on-the-fly updates effortless. Ensure every worker starts their day aligned and knowing exactly what needs to be done.

Distributed workers often feel invisible. Blink helps you build a culture of appreciation with instant, peer-to-peer recognition. Let managers and colleagues shout out great work directly on the company feed, turning daily successes into company-wide celebrations that boost retention.

Ditch the paper binders and noticeboards. Blink lets you digitize processes and roll out new policies instantly. Send mandatory reads with digital sign-offs, giving you real-time tracking and reporting to ensure 100% compliance across your entire workforce.

Stop paying for clunky tools your team ignores. Blink brings your scattered HR, payroll, and ops systems into one intuitive, mobile-first app. Give your frontline a frictionless "single pane of glass" experience they’ll actually want to use, driving adoption rates to 90% or higher.

No $20,000 minimum to get started.

Workvivo's Business plan starts at $20,000/year. That assumes 250 users and a procurement team. Blink starts at £2.95/user/mo with a 14-day trial, no credit card, no sales call. You can have your team live today.

Chat is included. Not an add-on.

On Workvivo, messaging requires a paid add-on. On Blink, 1:1 and group chat is built into every plan. Your team can message each other the moment they're onboarded, with nothing extra on the invoice.

Built for workers without a desk.

Workvivo is built for large organizations with a mix of desk and frontline staff. Blink is built specifically for the workers who never sit down: shift workers, multiple sites, no work email. The feed, chat, and analytics all work natively on mobile, for people who only ever use a phone.

No minimum headcount.

Whether you have 25 frontline workers or 2,500, Blink works. Workvivo's pricing starts at 250 users. If you're below that, you're not in their market. You're very much in ours.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the biggest difference between Blink and Workvivo?

The main difference is in how employees experience the platform. Blink is a true mobile-first employee experience app designed for both frontline and desk-based workers, with native single sign-on that gives users 1-tap access to everything they need—from HR systems and payslips to scheduling and company updates. Workvivo offers a more traditional, intranet-style setup that can feel heavier to navigate, especially for employees who aren’t at a desk. That difference in usability leads to higher adoption and engagement rates for Blink customers.

Which is easier for frontline adoption?

Blink is purpose-built for frontline adoption, with a track record of success across distributed, unionized, and shift-based workforces. Our manager-led activation strategies ensure that frontline managers lead the rollout, driving adoption from the ground up. This approach has proven far more effective than generic onboarding campaigns, especially for employees without corporate email addresses or regular desktop access. Workvivo’s adoption rates often skew toward desk-based users, leaving frontline teams less engaged.

Can Blink help us achieve measurable business results?

Yes. Blink’s Customer Success team works directly with you to connect engagement to real business outcomes. We use platform analytics to pinpoint opportunities for improvement — whether that’s speeding up onboarding, reducing turnover, improving self-service, or increasing adoption in specific teams. Customers regularly see measurable gains in productivity, engagement, and employee retention after rolling out Blink, making it more than just a communication tool — it’s a driver of operational efficiency.

Does Blink integrate with our existing tools?

Absolutely. Blink offers extensive native integrations with leading HRIS, payroll, scheduling, and productivity platforms. This means your employees can access everything from shift schedules to benefits information without switching between multiple apps or logging in repeatedly. Our integrations reduce friction, improve self-service, and ensure Blink works seamlessly with your existing tech stack, rather than replacing it. Workvivo offers fewer out-of-the-box integrations, which can mean more manual setup or reliance on APIs.
