Collaboration Will Help Build New Solutions to Break Down Communication Silos Across Workforce.
London — September 25, 2024 — Blink, the leading mobile-first employee experience platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Cocentric, a UK-based digital employee experience company, to accelerate the development of tech solutions for frontline employees to help engage workforces across the UK and EU. This collaboration positions Cocentric as Blink’s key European and APAC partner, bringing cutting-edge, multi-platform expertise to organisations seeking seamless, next-generation communication tools.
The collaboration will enable organisations to take advantage of Blink’s award-winning platform, which helps companies reduce staff turnover by up to 26% by providing frontline employees with a single, mobile-first tool to stay connected with their team and company updates. Cocentric, known for helping businesses like Rare Restaurants, Populous, and Pizza Pilgrims to transform their employee communications, will build on its expertise to deliver tailored support for Blink’s platform, allowing organisations to easily integrate the app into their existing systems.
“At Blink, we are committed to transforming how frontline workers stay connected, regardless of their location,” said Sean Nolan, CEO at Blink. “By partnering with Cocentric, we’re able to leverage their deep knowledge of workplace technology and tailor our approach to the unique needs of UK and EU organisations. Together, we will help companies overcome the complexities of managing distributed teams by integrating Blink’s technology with Cocentric’s expertise.”
The partnership will also focus on co-selling initiatives and joint solution development, with Cocentric building specialised subject matter expertise around Blink’s platform. The collaboration will extend beyond standard integrations to include unique technology solutions developed by Cocentric, such as Connect, a synchronisation tool designed to enhance Blink’s user experience by bridging gaps in HR system integration. These solutions are designed to streamline user data management and deliver a more seamless experience for Blink customers.
“Cocentric is thrilled to partner with Blink, whose platform has already proven its ability to drive real results in employee engagement,” said Regan Collins, CEO at Cocentric. “Our clients are always looking for ways to create a better working environment for their teams, and with Blink’s app, we can help them deliver improved communication and collaboration at every level. We’re looking forward to offering this solution across the UK and Europe, with integrations that make the process even smoother for businesses.”
In addition to building solutions around Blink’s technology, Cocentric will also help to develop tools and integrations within the Microsoft 365 suite that will further enhance Blink’s offering in this space. This will ensure that organisations currently relying on Microsoft technologies can benefit from enhanced employee engagement capabilities without the need to migrate to competing platforms.
