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. Data Studio: Additional features for Dirty Dozen

    When selecting dirty dozen in the data studio - the overview should be maximized so scrolling down is not needed. Secondly - a new feature would be benificial when the posibility is there to click on the error code or message description to zoom in on which turbines this event occured in the selected period.

  2. Analyze Dashboard: custom interval+zoomable graphs

    Make it possible to set and a custom interval in Analyse Dashboards - in order to review what happened during a specific interval. In addition to the above it would be very usefull if the same zoom functionalities could be used as in Datastudio to zoom into a certain period. This way the user does not have to open each graph seperately in datastudio to do the zoom actions but it can be done directly from the analyses dashboard.

  4. 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…

  6. Personnel: Add the ability to search for personnel with different filters

    I would like to be able to search for personnel by site induction - ie all persons inducted at Wind Farm A. Or search for all persons with Authorised Technician status at Wind Farm A etc.

  8. Notifications for overdue site access to several people

    At present 'overdue site access' is reported to the person who logged the site access. Is it possible to add a pop down menu where you can select multiple persons or a group to receive an overdue site access? At present we are not in controll of site access in our day to day buisiness.

    Looking forward to have this feature enabled. Thank you in advance

  11. Site access: Track user information for site access comments #50591

    We need the information who has created/edited a task or site access. This is important because different people in the control room are working on the same task and also for the project managers to know who to ask.

  12. The task and site access views should be scrollable instead of the multiple pages.

    Next/Last and Previous/First button placement is also awkward

  13. Add new performance index calculation method - avoiding false low performance alarms

    With the current definition of the performance index (PI = P act/P pot) and the way it is used in the low performance alarm ("average the PI in the period x if the average wind speed is above y") - we often see false alarms due to too high performance index volatility and especially PIs dropping at low wind speeds. This could be solved with a PI definition that focuses on the difference between P act and P pot rather that the ratio P act/P pot - the modified formular being PI mod = (P rated – (P pot -…

  14. Status categorization / Status log: improve grouping / splitting meachnism

    (1) Ignore warnings in the grouping/splitting meachnism. The most issues we have right now with grouping/splitting are related to warnings - as a stop can not be split if there is a warning in the period.

    (2) Auto-split status groups when there is a change in the availablity category (as this is the normal use case for splitting - e.g. if the turbine has an error (unavailable) after a planned grid shut down or maintenance (available).

    (3) Auto-split in certain special cases. E.g. Nordex 920 (icing status) change to 921 (MET Ice detection alarm finished) - WT remains stopped and…

  15. Identify Data Losses

    I am looking at identifying the days and times of data losses of specific equipment (weather stations for example). I suggest to set up an easy way (serach function ?) to identify the days of the year when we suffer data losses.

  16. Alarms: "Acknowledge" and "Create Task"

    It would be nice if you can Acknowledge and Alarm - create a Task directly from an alarm - see the symbol that a task has been created with the Alarm (features that are already available for Stops - Warnings & Communication).
