Why Oversite

Customers decide what gets built next

Most software roadmaps are decided somewhere you can't see, by people you'll never speak to. Oversite's is a board every customer can open, post to and vote on. The votes are what set the order.

One board, everyone who uses Oversite

Every idea posted by any customer is visible to all of them. That means you can see whether someone has already asked for what you need, then add your weight to it rather than starting a second conversation nobody connects.

Ideas go straight onto the board and stay there, keeping their votes, their status and the conversation around them, rather than disappearing into an inbox.

  • Post under your name, first name only, or anonymously
  • See what everybody else has already asked for
  • Vote for the ones you want, and say why
  • Comment, and follow the ones you care about
The Wishlist board showing ideas ordered by votes, among them bulk-printing muster lists, families updating their own contact details and ratio compliance shown while rostering, each with its vote count, category, comment count and how many organisations have backed it, filtered by Open, Coming, Shipped and Won't do.

Weighted by how many organisations, not how big

Raw votes would let the largest customer set the roadmap by headcount. Oversite counts how many separate organisations are behind an idea and shows that figure next to the total, so what rises is what's widely needed rather than what's loudly asked for.

A single-centre service and a twenty-site group carry the same weight in that count. Both are running to the same regulations.

  • Distinct organisations counted, not just raw votes
  • A twenty-site group can't outvote the sector
  • A single centre's good idea rises on merit
  • The organisation count shown on every idea
A single wishlist idea opened, showing 24 votes and the words from 6 organisations beside its status and category, with buttons to follow it, say why you voted, and a discussion thread beneath.

You can see where your idea got to

An idea carries a status the whole way through, and "Won't do" is one of them, always with a reason attached. Being told no with an explanation is more useful than an idea sitting open for two years.

Follow the ones that matter to you and you'll hear when they move, rather than discovering it in a release note.

  • Open, Coming, Shipped and Won't do as real states
  • A reason recorded when something won't be built
  • Follow an idea and hear when it moves
  • Documented in the help centre when it ships
The Wishlist board in dark mode filtered to Shipped, showing ideas that have been built, each still carrying its votes, category and the number of organisations that asked for it.
