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. Adding dynamic tools to report

    We would like to have the option to add dynamic tools to the generated report. Moving away from a simple PDF view and being able to show more information, regarding low performance, detailed charts etc. Most of those widgets would be generated via PowerBI and added to the report as custom sections.

  2. Export status file by specific status / warning

    We would like to export the status file by only a certain type of status (Stops, warnings ) such as blade bending warning or manual stop event.
    same as you can sort events in the statuslog.

  3. Change overdue icon colour and make it flash so its not mistaken for an active stop fault

    Could you change the overdue icon colour to Yellow or Orange and make it flash if possible.
    Currently overdues are show in red and this can be mistaken as a stop fault when carrying out our duties.
    If this could be changed to a different colour and made to flash then it would make it easier to notice and less likely to be missed.
    Ive attached a screenshot of what an overdue red icon for reference.

  4. Export weather forecast data

    Exporting weather forecast data has to be done in API which is a bit complicated.

    Weather forecast data should be able to download from "Export data" as well

  5. Automatic general status for: Does not generate despite the existence of a resource.

    There are times when the WTG does not show a failure but despite the existence of a resource it does not generate. For this reason, it would be ideal if there was an automatic event where it shows that there is a resource and the WTG does not generate.

    This would be useful to capture moments in which the wind turbine does not generate despite having a resource, due to some failure not expressed in the states.

  7. The "New suggest / idea" should be reviewed.

    The New Suggest option must be reviewed and switched to a democratic system.

    Every time we suggest a new idea we received the same answer (copy & paste) saying: "We have great new features lined up that we can't wait to share with you. Unfortunately this request is not part of the roadmap".

    These kind of answers without a proper explanation and ignoring our requests and ideas, It affects our team in terms of working time and use of the platform.

    If you set up a democratic voting system you should wait at least 24 hours until everyone can vote…

  9. Improve how Offshore windfarms are shown in the Map

    When looking at an offshore windfarm, no background layer is visible. The grey background is unappealing. Also the zooming is not quite 'handy'. When zooming out, the granularity changes from individuals windturbines to wind farm level.
    Hence, two requests:
    1. Can the zoom (out) be such than an entire windfarm can be visualised in 1 screen?
    2. Can the back ground option of https://map.openseamap.org/ be incorporated? Note this options is also available in IconMaps, and we use it in PowerBI reports.

  10. Ability to export only overdue site access via the API

    We can export the site access via the API but it would be great if we could filter the overdue site access in the export.

  11. Setting a default "Main status within the group" for specific status groups

    For some redundant groups of statuses like Bat Curtailment for instance, it would be a great gain of time to be able to set by default one of the status inside the group as the main status for every status group of the same kind.

    This would avoid the repetitive and manual act of setting the status that we want as "The main status event within the group".

  12. I would like to see the Max.Power ever produced (wind turbine, park, portfolio level)

    Hi all,
    in order to reflect the maximum power ever produced a new KPI is required. I tried to use the Max.Power signal in GB, but this is not the correct tag to display the max. power output (for a wind turbine, park or portfolio).

  14. Lost production of statuses in the API should follow the selected period

    For the Status endpoint, statuses overlapping over start date and/or end date should only take that part of the Lost production value that corresponds to the selected time interval.

    Otherwise the Lost production does not match what you can see in the platform, e g in Data Studio, for the same time interval.

  15. Compare curtailment loss % for different periods

    I would like to ask you to make a feature to calculate and make visual tools to know "time-based curtailment loss".

    As the background of this request, currently, we are getting many grid curtailments and want to compare the degree of them in different sites.
    We can see the amount of production-based loss on Greenbyte, however, we can't see the time-based losses so it's difficult to do a comparison between different sites.

    So we request you to set up features like the below:
    - calculate time-based curtailment loss(%), day by day, week to week, month to month, year to year.…

  16. Allow reporting in Site time, not only in Company time as is the case at the moment

    We suggest to open up the possibility to create reports in site time. Financial reporting is typically done in site time and therefore the current setup in Greenbyte generates a sync issue if the wind farm is located in another timezone than company time.

  17. Export Data - Time Intervals selection

    It would help a lot if Greenbyte can add "Yesterday" as an option so that creating a daily report for us doesn't need to select dates everytime.

  18. over due site/device access notification

    I think a feature that notifies us either audibly or via pop up box to site accesses that have gone overdue would be very useful so as to keep visitors as safe as possible while visiting our sites. it means we can then react quicker to over due situations and start the escalation process to reaching them to check on there welfare much quicker . Taking into account that a lot of the sites are in remote locations and so response times to possible accidents or injuries needs to be as quick as possible.

  19. Put Alerts in report

    Alerts are really useful, but there is currently no way to display them in reports. It would be great to put an alert log widget in the reports (like the status log). This would make our reports more complete, and allow us to track alerts that would be recurring on certain devices.

  20. Everyone who has access to Personnel can edit, delete and add new personnel

    The list of the personnel is available for the whole portfolio, it would be useful if we could split this list (considering the region or wind farm level), maybe using the Site induction or adding another fild in the registration.
