Customer feedback shouldn't disappear into a backlog.

Customers share valuable ideas in meetings, support conversations, emails and product calls. But once that feedback reaches the backlog, the context often disappears with it.

Ardeo keeps the customer, the problem, the evidence and the product decision connected.

  • I have 200 feature requests but no context.
  • Sales says this is critical, but for how many customers?
  • We investigated this six months ago. Where are the notes?
  • Our roadmap deck is out of date the day after we send it.

How Ardeo works

From customer insight to product direction.

Eight steps that keep returning to the same place: the customer who asked.

The Ardeo loop: customer requests, review and merge, customer and team votes, start discovery, gather evidence, prioritise, add to roadmap, then build and update customers, which feeds back into new requests.
  1. 01

    Capture feedback

    Collect customer requests and internal product ideas.

  2. 02

    Review & combine

    Review new requests and merge similar customer needs.

  3. 03

    Measure demand

    See customer interest, votes, comments and team input.

  4. 04

    Start discovery

    Assign ownership and investigate the actual problem.

  5. 05

    Gather evidence

    Customer research, data, assumptions and technical input.

  6. 06

    Decide & prioritise

    Combine evidence, value, strategy and effort.

  7. 07

    Plan the roadmap

    Move validated work into Now, Next or Later.

  8. 08

    Build & close the loop

    Deliver, and update the customers who shaped it.

A backlog tells you what was requested. Ardeo tells you why it matters.

Start with the problem. Understand who needs it. Gather the evidence. Then decide what deserves a place on the roadmap.

Customer feedback

Know who asked. Understand why.

Ardeo keeps feature requests connected to the people and organisations behind them. See who requested something, why they need it, how many customers care and which requests describe the same underlying problem.

A vote is a signal. Context makes it useful.

Left column is votes, below it the number of separate companies.

Don't move requests straight to the roadmap. Discover first.

Most requests describe a solution. Discovery is where you find the problem underneath it, and whether it is worth solving.

Discovery

Keep the problem, the evidence and the recommendation together.

Turn promising customer needs into structured discovery. Keep the problem, evidence, assumptions, research and recommendation in one place — attached to the request it came from.

Discovery becomes part of the product workflow — not a folder full of disconnected documents.

Customer collaboration

Build with your customers, not just for them.

Invite the right customers into discovery. Ask targeted questions, validate ideas and gather structured feedback directly from the people who will use what you build.

Customers never see who else was invited.

Prioritisation

See more than the loudest request.

Customer votes matter, but they are only part of the decision. Combine demand with customer value, strategic relevance, discovery confidence and effort.

Product decisions need context, not just counts.

Roadmap

One roadmap internally. A simpler one for customers.

Move validated work into Now, Next or Later, grouped by product, team or strategic theme. What customers see is a separate, deliberate publication — not the same board with the notes hidden.

A card appears here only once someone has written the customer-facing wording and published it.

Your roadmap should show product direction — not become another backlog.

They asked. You listened. Now tell them.

Closing the loop turns product feedback into customer trust. Ardeo knows exactly who asked, so the update reaches the people who care.

Close the loop

The update goes to the people who asked for it.

Notify interested customers

Good news — the feature you requested is now available.

From request to release, keep the customer connected.

Everything it needs is already recorded: who asked, who voted, what discovery found and what changed. Nothing is ever sent automatically — a status change suggests the update, you write it and press send.

Integrations

Connect discovery to delivery.

Keep product decisions in Ardeo and let your development tools manage execution. A closed ticket does not release anything to customers on its own — that stays a decision someone makes here.

    Customer update

Slack and Microsoft Teams announce product activity in a channel, with the events chosen per channel. Linear and Azure DevOps are modelled on the same structure but not built yet. Ardeo works without any of them.

AI

AI that helps you understand, not decide for you.

Use AI to find similar requests, summarise customer feedback, identify patterns and suggest discovery questions — while keeping product decisions with the team.

  • Duplicate detection
  • Feedback summaries
  • Theme clustering
  • Discovery question suggestions
  • Customer update drafts
