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. Add "Last year" and "Last moth" in the time span of the widgets

    We use an average over time graph, and every time we generate a month report (for previous months and years), we have to use the custom interval to adjust the required period. It would be very helpful to add the option "Last month" and "last year" in the time-span

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. HSE incident status option in the HSE table widget

    We need the possibility to list only HSE cases of a certain status (resolved - unresolved) in the report HSE table widget. Currently it is not possible to have a table in the reports listing only the open = "unresolved" HSE cases.

  6. Powercurve is not accurate above 15m/s.

    Today there is an assumption that beyond 15 m/s, the data points are collected into one bin. Hence the flat line behaviour for high wind speeds for the learned power curve.
    This is no longer be a fair assumption if wind turbines are operating at increasingly higher wind speeds.
    The power curve resolution should be the same all the way up to 25 m/s

  7. Add Heatmap graph in Reports

    Hello, we would like to have the Heatmap available in Data Studio (https://baywa.greenbyte.cloud/Analyze/DataStudio?link=LfDaSVld-UybPeojGV-u1g) also available in Reports. This would be of great help to show a clear overview of WTGs status availabe/unavailable which several clients have requested, especillay for big windfarm!
    Thanks

  8. Remove the power curve from the "Production distribution" widget in Reports

    The "Production distribution" is a great widget, but by having the PCs on top of it, it just becomes very noisy. In the Data Studio it is possible to only plot the distribution, it would be great to have this option in Reports.

  9. Report - Gantt configuration - Select Period

    It's a fixed period. It's possible to select Categories and State, but not the period.

  10. Display comment for tasks in report section

    When generating a report and including a custom section regarding "Tasks", one can add a column named "Comments". Currently that only adds a small symbol in that column (see attached image) but would it instead be possible for the text to be displayed in the column?

  11. Make custom section titles visible on the report outline page

    When creating a report that contains several custom sections, it's difficult to know which section is which since the section titles don't update.

    If I want to see what my custom section is, I need to reload the report and find it again. This is time consuming, especially for reports which take a long time to load.

    If the main report outline page updated with section titles, just like the table of contents does, this would make reporting much more efficient.

  13. Reports: Save As Template/Previous Version

    Add 'Save As' option box beside 'Download' - Edit' and 'Delete' which can save as 'Template' or 'Historical Report'. Currently saving a report as Template can only be down through Support - and there is no way to save historical versions or revisions of reports - They have to be overwritten. It would be beneficial if the 'Save As' function saved the generated PDFs in a separate 'Historical Reports' section.
