Greenbyte Ideas

Our approach to product feedback

Here at Power Factors, we take product feedback extremely seriously. We believe that listening to our customers, team members, and prospects - by taking their ideas on board - is a sure-fire way to build better products.
We use your feedback to identify the most important features, ideas, pain points, and opportunities so that you can get more value from our products as efficiently as possible.


The benefits of giving us your product feedback

If you take the time to submit your product feedback to us, it means that you have a direct say in how our products develop over time. It means that your ideas are valued and listened to, rather than filed away and ignored.
Ultimately, it allows us to work with you to build the best products we possibly can.

What happens to your product feedback

Our product teams meet regularly with the CSMs, to go through new ideas. Once we have verified that an idea isn’t already available in the system, and seems like a good idea, we change the status to Accepting Votes. Then more people can vote, prioritize, and give us information. This allows us to gauge demand, gather use cases, and establish impact & value.

If we decide to implement an idea, the status will change to Planned or In Development. When it’s done, the status will change to Delivered. Anyone who has submitted or voted on a specific request will be notified when the status of the request is updated. We will always provide an explanation as to the nature of the status update.

Unfortunately, not all requests are in line with our vision and strategy, so sometimes we reject them. When this happens, the status will be changed to Archived and we’ll add a note to let you know that it won’t be delivered.


How we choose what to implement

When we plan a release, we use many factors to help decide which suggestions to implement, including:

  • Customer feedback - there are many ways we listen for your feedback:
    formal customer interviews and other research activities
    events like conferences and trade shows
    comments and votes on issues here in Greenbyte & BluePoint Influence
  • CSM team insights - our CSM team knows which issues are the most challenging and most common for customers.
  • Product analytics - we track how users move through the system, which helps us understand how existing features are being used.
  • Product strategy - our long-term strategic vision for the products.
If you reach out directly to our support or customer success teams, they'll be able to look up the ideas for you, but they won't have any additional information or provide an estimate for when your item will be reviewed.


Custom applications

Sometimes you need functionality that is specific to your needs and not necessarily useful for other customers or in line with Power Factors strategic goals. These special requests are addressed through custom applications, which can be developed by you, using the Greenbyte API, by third-party partners, or by Power Factors for an additional fee. If you are interested in having a custom application built, contact your CSM.

  1. Hide or remove widget informations

    We would like to be able to choose which information we want to hide or display on the widgets.
    For example, for the "Real-Time Wind Turbine Metrics" widget we do not want to display the column of the icon and the ID.

  2. Select Availability Category Within Task

    When creating a task there is an option that may be selected that is labeled "Affects Downtime". If this option is enabled, the availability contract categories should appear and one should be assigned to the task.

    This would be useful for sites that are utilizing tasks to coordinate site work.

  3. Be able to generate an audit trail of users switching work parties

    Sometimes, technicians have to leave a work party on a turbine and work with another work party on a different turbine. If we add their name onto the new work party, there is no way in the future we can track the fact that he/she was working with another work party previously. Could we have a tracker that indicates which work parties a user has been associated with in a day?

  4. Plan | Task | Lost production for a task

    The sum of the lost production of status codes attachted to a specific task. There are multiply status codes connected to a task. When I want to calculate the lost production I have to open every status code and look for the lost production. It would be nice - if there is a lost production for a task.

  7. Automatically add current time as start time when logging on additional personnel to an existing "Site Access"

    When logging on additional personnel to an existing "Site Access", currently you must manually enter the start time for each new person. Instead the Start Time should automatically populate with the current time (i.e. the same way it does when you first create a "Site Access"). This is another time sink that could be easily eliminated.

  8. Monthly estimated budget

    We would like to have a monthly estimated budget taking into account the energy already exported and planned downtimes.

    This value would be updated every day and displayed in kWh and €.

  9. Add comments when task is created

    Make it possible to add a comment from the create task window. Right now you have to create a task - wait for page to refresh - and than add a comment - this workflow is taking to much time.

  10. Export data: add the option to edit existing exports

    Right now if a wrong setting is made in the export, the export must be done all over again. Adding an "edit"-Button to exports would solve this. It would also be helpful for recurring exports when the old export could be edited instead of using the template function.

  12. Lost production : manual recording possibility

    In case of grid loss -for example- - the lost production of a status log can be calculated with the Estimated Potential Power. But this considers only a short period of time (mean between one hour before and one hour after the shutdown). When the shutdown is for a long time period (several hours or days) - it would be useful that the users could add a lost production manually.

  14. Expiry date on Personnel qualifications

    Put expiry dates on qualifications as per inductions. For example Authorised technician status. These qualifications are only valid for a period of time before they have to be renewed. At present there is a HSE risk that someones qualification could expire and they could take control / device access of an asset they are no longer authorised to work on. When the qualification expires then it is removed from the persons record as per the inductions meaning that they cannot take out a device access as they don't have the qualification needed. In addition to this add another field for…

  18. Automatically switch from OPC into ODBC during no communication with OPC

    At this point the latest status will remain visible in the moitoring screens as soon as OPC communication is lost. But when an ODBC connection exist as a back-up the data is still available (not live but near real in 10 min - interval). It is required that as soon as there will be a communication loss at OPC for more than a certain time frame (30 min.) automatically the ODBC takes over and displays the latest 10 minute values in the monitoring screens. It also will be important to know which data is displayed real or near real data…

  19. Data Studio: Compare different time intervals - i.e. years

  20. Site Access Comments - add to tasks | show in View site access

    When site access is attached to a specific task - the comments added to the site access - should be added to the attached task as well - and then show up in the comment section of the view task page. This would help keep track of information gathered when personnel are arriving at or leaving a site.

    There should also be a comment section in the view site access page - As of now - the only way to view comments for site access seems to be by editing the access - and only the last comment is visible.
