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. Delete specific user from site access

    When editing an open site access log, make it possible to delete a specific user log from the site access - At the moment when adding people to an open site access log, if you select the wrong person by mistake it is not possible to amend that log. Instead we currently have to set the log off time to the same as the log on time - It would be a lot more useful to be able to delete the incorrect persons details so that they do not show at all.

  3. Filter templates

    It would be nice to have the option to create a filter template/preset. For instance: I only monitor certain parks/turbines. Now I have to manually select these in the filter. It would be nice to be able to create filter presets, so I can filter my turbines with 1 click.

  5. Counter of status code per WTG

    It will be quite interesting to see how often a certain alarm code occurs in a wind turbine.
    Currently there is no counter in the status log or Data studio in order to generate an overview of number of occurances for a particular status code.

  6. Add indication to overdue site/device access

    When there is an overdue site/device access, this is indicated by a red balloon in the sidebar next to the "problematic" asset. However, it is not so easy to find exact record in the Site Access screen that contains overdue device access. It would be logical to indicate respective entries with the same red balloon (both in overviewing Site Access screen and inside specific access details).

  7. Task Email Notifications NEED to include a link to the task.

    Notifications through email are very convenient but there needs to be a link to the task being referenced in the notiication email - there is currently a task number which makes it easier to find the task in GB but if there was just a link to the task, a reply comment or edit could be made.

    At the same time - there should be a link to the monitor site page from within the View Task page - this would make it very simple to receive an email notification from a task update - click on the link to…

  8. Add new modifiable Production-based System Availability signal

    Add a new, additional availability signal called “Corrected Production-based System Availability Estimate”, that we could modify so that we could fully exclude from the availability calculation certain days for certain turbines (related to e.g. insurance cases, grid outages etc). Otherwise the availability should be an identical copy of the standard Production-based System Availability. We would need to have the possibility to later adjust the lengths of those excluded historical time periods several times, as our estimates get more accurate in time, and the availability calculation should be instantly updated accordingly. We would like to have the possibility to use the…

  11. XML Upload Provision for Weekly Intervention Planning

    Workflow proposal;
    1. Operator receives weekly outage planning XML file from Enercon (et al.)

    1. Upload XML file to Breeze
    2. Site and Machine accesses are created by reading XML file data

    (Integrating this into write permissions for the API would be ideal)

  12. Add status filters To Dirty Dozen

    Please can you add status code filters to the dirty dozen. Currently if i look at the top 5 stops on some sites it includes manual stops or / pauses over RCS (Vestas machines) I would like the option to exclude these, so we are able to focus on looking at the most common faults.

  16. Downtime per category trend per month (KPI monitoring)

    Downtime hours per category or production loss per category can be displayed for a selected period. This selected period does not have a resoluition setting option. E.g. when selecting the period 2019 I like to see per month the hours and lossed production per category. A filter can be applied to the category in order to keep the graph or table readable.

  19. Mass Resolve HSE incidents

    When you add a HSE incident to devices, it is easy to mass add them.
    However, when it comes to resolving the HSE incidents, this has to be done individually which can be very time consuming, especially on a large site.
