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. It takes too many clicks to change to another asset on the same hierarchy level

    When selecting an asset in the data studio, in the status categorization overiew etc, the dropdown menu works top down, regardless of the current selection.

    If I want to swap to another asset of the same wind/solar farm, I need to pass all of the previous groups to be able to deselect the one asset and select the other asset.

    I propose a bottom up approach: in case a selection is already active, then expand the "asset hierarchy" up to the selected asset(s) or the highest common group.
    In this case, swapping from one asset to another within the same…

  2. Warn before setting a contract category to default

    Assigning a default category to a status code is very useful, however with the slider button directly underneath the dropdown menu, it is easy for it to be selected by accident.

    Can a pop-up warning be added that asks the user to confirm that they wish to assign a default category to a status code? Much like if you overwrite a default, or delete a site access log.

    We have great new features lined up for this year that we can’t wait to share with you. Unfortunately this request is not part of the roadmap.

  3. Undo button

    Like the title indikates: an undo button would be nice

    Example Task:

    You type in everything (title - start/end - Description and so on ). Then you click on the start/end to double check the timespan. In that moment a meteor smash into your window and you accidentally click on a other date. The date from before the meteor crash is gone and you can't undo it. You'll probably have to search for the date again and choose it again with the marvelous datepicker.

    Other Example - Reports:

    You are creating the best report in the known world but there…

  5. Monitor Portfolio: In the "..."- menu - show "view task" instead of "edit task"

    Via "edit task" it is not possible to add task comments.

  6. Status categorization: separate "duration" column from start time column and use a fixed lengh format for duration (also in status log)

    Istead of formats such as '1d 2h' - '1m 50s' - '1h 45m' it would be better to have hh:mm:ss to better visually distinguish long from shorts stops.
