The power of 1

Is one system enough?

You might be thinking, "Will I be able to handle everything with just one tool?" The simple answer is yes. Like any great platform, Blue is the solid foundation upon which you can build out whatever you need. It powers the employee experience and covers a multitude of feedback processes, including 360 degree feedback reviews, surveys, complex evaluations, and more.

Everything you need is organized in one place, meaning one stream of data, one budget, and a unified employee feedback experience across departments. Blue is the marquee solution for gathering timely, actionable feedback on any hire-to-retire process.

Out-of-the-box integration means Blue can connect to any ERP, CRM, LMS, Portal, or other IT systems. Add on powerful automation, real-time analysis and dynamic, distributed reporting, and you just have to decide on one thing; where do you want to go?

Specialized Features

Do more than just surveys

This is not your one size fits all approach. This isn’t a survey platform that can “technically” perform other functions with complicated workarounds.
Blue was purpose-built from the ground up to be a platform for all your feedback needs. It can support your most important feedback initiatives, such as learning evaluations,
360 degree feedback reviews, and employee engagement measurement, to name a few examples.

Need a platform built for your learning evaluations? That’s Blue.

Blue was developed to manage every aspect of learning evaluation. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a survey software that seamlessly supports:

  • Pre- and post-class surveys

  • On the job follow-up surveys from learners and their managers

  • Blended and multi-session event evaluations

  • Voice of instructor surveys

  • Flexible report design & distribution

How about for 360 degree feedback reviews?

Can just any survey software deliver an unlimited number of custom rater groups and automatically assign raters based on your existing organization hierarchy? Popular Blue 360 degree feedback reporting features include:

  • Perception gap analysis

  • Breakdown by rater group

  • Aggregate and comparative reporting

  • Real-time response monitoring

  • Johari window

Want a fresh look at employee engagement?

Engagement surveys can be a cumbersome process. With Blue, you can fully automate feedback collection and instantly analyze response rates to maximize employee participation. Automatically distribute custom reports to any level within the organization to accelerate your action planning process, then follow up with targeted pulse surveys to monitor progress. Blue can help you extend your engagement measurement beyond the annual survey to an ongoing stream of strategic information.

  • Calendar or milestone-based distribution

  • Real-time response rate monitoring

  • Machine learning for effortless qualitative feedback analysis

  • Configurable privacy controls to protect employee confidentiality
