Feedback Pulse: Capture a Bug or Idea the Moment It Happens

Feedback Pulse gives users a voice at the exact moment they hit a bug, a frustration, or an idea. One click opens a clean form in a separate tab, so the original screen stays open for reference, screenshots, plus notes.

Can users report a bug without leaving what they are doing? Yes. Feedback Pulse puts a small icon on every screen. One click opens a feedback form in a separate tab, so the original screen stays put for a screenshot or a note. Users log a bug, a suggestion, or praise in seconds. In June 2026 that means issues get caught before they become tickets.
Feedback Pulse form opening beside an active screen

See it on your own screens. Not a canned demo.

Request a Demo Contact Us

Why does most user feedback never get captured?

A user hits a glitch, mutters about it, and moves on. By the time anyone asks how the system is working, the moment has passed and the detail is gone. The feedback that would have fixed the problem dies at the desk where it happened.

When reporting is a chore, it does not happen. If logging a bug means leaving the task, opening a ticket system, plus re-describing what was on screen, most people just live with the friction. In 2026, the insight you never hear about is the improvement you never make.

Feedback Pulse catches the reaction in the moment. A click on any screen opens a form without closing the work, so the bug or the idea gets logged while it is still fresh. Nothing gets lost to the next task.

How does Feedback Pulse capture feedback in context?

A small icon sits on every screen. Click it and a clean feedback form opens in a separate tab or window, so the original screen stays open behind it. The user can take a screenshot, refer back to what they were doing, plus jot a note, all without losing their place.

Each submission carries its context. The feedback links automatically to the screen or app it came from, and the user marks urgency plus tags the type of issue. From there it routes to the right team by topic or priority, and reporting dashboards break it down by user, app, or screen area.

Most deployments run in weeks, not months. Feedback Pulse layers onto the apps your team already uses, so there is nothing new to open to leave feedback. The team stops guessing where the friction is.

How is your feedback data protected?

Feedback Pulse runs on the same platform as your data, hosted by Phoenix Consultants Group, so a submission never leaves for a third-party feedback tool. Access is role-based, so feedback routes to the team that owns it.

Because each entry links to its screen and carries a timestamp, a report can always be traced back to where and when it came from.

What does Feedback Pulse give your team?

  • Feedback that opens in a separate tab for uninterrupted task visibility.
  • Bugs, suggestions, or praise logged in seconds.
  • Automatic links to the original screen or app context.
  • Screenshot upload or capture.
  • Notes, urgency marking, plus issue-type tagging on every entry.
  • Routing to teams by topic or priority.
  • Reporting dashboards by user, app, or screen area.
We identified our top 3 friction points in just two weeks using Feedback Pulse, and fixed them before they turned into tickets.
Head of Product EnablementKeystone Mills

Built by people who answer the phone

Phoenix Consultants Group has built custom software since 1995. About a third of that work has been operations and compliance tracking for environmental and industrial firms, where a small friction nobody reports turns into a costly workaround. Feedback Pulse comes from that experience.

The same platform also adds AI reporting on top of the feedback. Your team can ask a plain-English question about which screens draw the most complaints and get an answer from live data, with no canned report and no waiting on IT. Most deployments still run in weeks, not months.

What changes operationally after deployment?

  • A bug gets logged the moment a user hits it.
  • Feedback arrives with the screen it came from.
  • Friction points surface before they become tickets.
  • Each report routes to the team that owns it.
  • You see which screens frustrate users most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can users report a bug without leaving what they are doing?
+
Yes. A small icon on every screen opens a feedback form in a separate tab, so the original screen stays open behind it. The user can screenshot it, refer to it, plus add a note without losing their place in the task.
What kinds of feedback can people submit?
+
Users log bugs, suggestions, or praise in seconds. Each entry can carry a screenshot, a note, an urgency level, plus a tag for the type of issue, so the team receives a complete picture rather than a vague complaint.
Does feedback include where it came from?
+
Yes. Each submission links automatically to the original screen or app context. A report tells you not just what went wrong but exactly where, so nobody has to chase the user to reproduce it.
Can feedback route to the right team?
+
Yes. You filter and route feedback to teams by topic or priority, so a bug reaches engineering and a feature idea reaches product. Nothing sits in one shared inbox waiting for someone to triage it.
Can we see trends in the feedback?
+
Yes. Reporting dashboards break feedback down by user, app, or screen area, so the screens that draw the most complaints stand out. One team found its top friction points in two weeks this way.
How long does it take to get Feedback Pulse running?
+
Most deployments run in weeks, not months. Feedback Pulse layers onto the apps your team already uses, so there is nothing new to install to start collecting feedback. Setup includes the routing rules for your teams.

Contextual Knowledgebase: The Right Doc, Already on the Screen

The Contextual Knowledgebase brings reference material into the system, exactly where users need it. Help articles, checklists, plus policy references open in place, matched to the form or process the user is in. No separate help center to search.

Can FireFlight show the right help doc without leaving the screen? Yes. The Contextual Knowledgebase ties every article, checklist, plus policy reference to the screen it belongs to. When a user pauses, the matching resource is already there, filtered by context, not buried in a category tree. In June 2026 that means an SOP or a compliance policy shows up in place.

Request a Demo Contact Us

Why does no one find the help doc when they need it?

The answer usually exists. There is an SOP, a policy, a checklist somewhere. The problem is the somewhere. It lives in a separate help center or a shared drive, behind a search box, and finding it means leaving the task and hoping you pick the right keyword.

So people stop looking. They guess, they ask a colleague, or they skip the step the doc would have told them to take. In 2026, a reference that is one tab and three clicks away is a reference most of the team will never open.

The Contextual Knowledgebase moves the doc to the work. The article that matches the screen is already there when the user pauses, filtered to what they are doing. No search, no second tab, no category tree to navigate.

How does the knowledgebase know which doc to show?

It matches help to where the user is. The system reads the screen and the field in focus, then surfaces the article, checklist, or policy tied to that context. A knowledge tip can launch right alongside a visible field, so the answer sits beside the question.

Each resource opens in place, not in a separate help center. Whether it is a step-by-step SOP or a compliance policy, it shows filtered to the task, linked to where the user is. It works hand in hand with Ikhana and the tutorial engine, so guidance and reference live together.

Updates land instantly with no deployment, so the doc a user reads is the current one, not a copy that drifted out of date. Most deployments run in weeks, not months, because the content layers onto the screens your team already uses. The team stops hunting for the doc.

Auto-matched by screen and field SOPs, checklists, plus policies Instant updates, no deployment

How is your knowledgebase kept current and controlled?

The Contextual Knowledgebase runs inside the same platform as your data, hosted by Phoenix Consultants Group, so reference material is not scattered across a separate tool. What a user sees respects the same role-based access as the rest of the system.

Because updates land instantly, the SOP or policy on screen is always the current version, not one that drifted out of date on a shared drive.

What does the Contextual Knowledgebase give your team?

  • Help topics auto-matched to the user's location and field focus.
  • Knowledge tips alongside visible fields.
  • Articles, checklists, plus policy references tied to the screen.
  • Resources that open in place.
  • Step-by-step SOPs surfaced where the work happens.
  • Works with Ikhana and the tutorial engine.
  • Instant content updates with no deployment required.
Our team no longer asks where the process doc is. It shows up before they even ask. The Contextual Knowledgebase is a silent productivity booster.

What kinds of content can it hold?
+
It holds help articles, checklists, step-by-step SOPs, plus policy references. Each one opens in place, filtered to the task, so a compliance policy or a procedure shows up exactly where it applies.
Does it work with Ikhana and the tutorial engine?
+
Yes. The knowledgebase works hand in hand with Ikhana and the Interactive Tutorial Engine. Guidance, training, plus reference docs live in one layer, so a user gets the right kind of help without leaving the screen.
What happens when a policy or SOP changes?
+
Updates land instantly with no deployment. The version a user reads is always the current one, so an outdated SOP never sits on screen long after the process behind it changed.
How long does it take to set up?

What is Ikhana and how does it help? Ikhana is an on-screen guide built into the system.

In June 2026 that means new users get unstuck without a manual or a support ticket.

Request a Demo Contact Us

Why do users get stuck on a system they were trained on?

Training fades. Someone learns the system in an onboarding session, then hits a field three weeks later and cannot remember what format it wants. They guess, or they stop and ask a colleague, or they file a ticket. The work waits either way.

A printed manual does not help in that moment. Nobody opens a PDF mid-task to hunt for the one field they are stuck on. In 2026, when teams expect answers on the screen in front of them, sending someone off to documentation is sending them away from the work.

Ikhana puts the answer where the question is. One click beside the field and she explains it, in context, without pulling the user out of the flow. The hesitation ends on the same screen it started on.

How does Ikhana give help in context?

Ikhana lives inside the system, an icon beside any field, button, or step. Click it and she delivers a trusted explanation, the format rule, plus an example for that exact task. The help overlays the page where you are, so you never leave what you were doing.

She stays current without a release. Content updates in real time, with no deployment, so when a process changes the guidance changes with it. The help works across desktop and tablet, and ties into the tutorial engine and knowledgebase behind it.

Most deployments run in weeks, not months. Ikhana layers onto the apps your team already uses, so there is nothing new to learn to get help. The team stops interrupting each other to ask how a field works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ikhana?
+
Ikhana is an embedded on-screen guide built into the FireFlight system. She sits as an icon beside any field, button, or step, and explains it in context when you click. The name means to know in Choctaw, reflecting the platform's heritage.
How is Ikhana different from a help manual?
+
A manual lives outside the work and gets opened only when someone is desperate. Ikhana lives on the page itself, so the explanation appears beside the field you are stuck on. There is nothing to search and nowhere to navigate away to.
Does Ikhana work on tablets?
+
Yes. Ikhana works across desktop and tablet environments, so a user gets the same in-context help whether they are at a desk or on the floor. The guidance follows the screen, not the device.
Do we have to redeploy when guidance changes?
+
No. Ikhana's content updates in real time with no deployment. When a process or a field changes, the explanation changes with it, so a user never reads guidance that no longer matches the system.
What does Ikhana connect to?
+
Ikhana works across almost every app, from work orders and purchase orders to CRM and inventory. She also ties into the interactive tutorial engine and the contextual knowledgebase, so help and learning sit in one place.
How long does it take to roll Ikhana out?
+
Most deployments run in weeks, not months. Ikhana layers onto the apps your team already uses, so there is nothing new for them to learn just to get help. Setup includes tuning the guidance to your workflows.

Interactive Tutorial Engine: Step-by-Step Help Right on the Screen

The Interactive Tutorial Engine puts Ikhana on the screen as a live trainer. She walks users step by step through any feature, points to exactly where to click, plus explains what each field does, all while they work.

Ikhana is not a static help icon. She is your on-screen trainer, there the moment you need her, pointer ready.

She guides you step by step through every feature, showing exactly where to click and what each field does. Whether you are onboarding a new hire or rolling out a new process, learning happens fast and without the frustration.

Ikhana, the FireFlight on-screen trainer character
What is the Interactive Tutorial Engine? It is FireFlight's built-in trainer, Ikhana, who guides users step by step through any process right inside the system. She points to the next click and explains each field as you go, so onboarding happens by doing, not by watching a video. In June 2026 that means new hires get productive faster.

Why does traditional training fade so fast?

Someone sits through an onboarding session or a stack of videos, nods along, then forgets most of it by the time they actually need it. Training that happens before the work rarely survives contact with the work. Three weeks in, they are guessing or asking a colleague.

Hunting through a manual is no better. Nobody pauses mid-task to flip through a PDF for the one step they are unsure about. In 2026, when a team is expected to pick up a new tool and keep moving, training that lives outside the system is training that gets skipped.

The Interactive Tutorial Engine moves the training into the work. Ikhana walks the user through the actual process, on the actual screen, the moment they hit it. Learning happens by doing, so it sticks.

How does the engine teach while people work?

Ikhana runs as a live, on-screen trainer. Hover a field and she tells you what it is for and how to fill it. Start a process and she leads you through it step by step, pointing to the next action so nobody has to guess what comes next.

Because the guidance is built in, it stays consistent. Every employee gets the same accurate, current instructions, whether they started today or two years ago. A system tour gives quick orientation, and the step-by-step walkthroughs cover onboarding and any new feature you roll out.

Most deployments run in weeks, not months. The engine layers onto the apps your team already uses, so the training shows up exactly where the work does. The team stops waiting on a trainer to be free.

Step-by-step process tours Desktop and tablet support Centrally updated walkthroughs

How does the engine keep training consistent and current?

The Interactive Tutorial Engine runs inside the same platform as your data, hosted by Phoenix Consultants Group, so the guidance respects the same role-based access as everything else. A user is walked through the screens they can reach.

Because the instructions update centrally, every employee sees the same current walkthrough, not a version that drifted out of date on someone's desktop.

What does the Interactive Tutorial Engine give your team?

  • Instant field guidance the moment you hover a field.
  • Help that stays on-screen during the task.
  • Step-by-step process tours for onboarding and new features.
  • A built-in system tour for quick orientation.
  • The same accurate, current instructions for every employee.
  • Plain-language explanations of every field.
  • Learning by doing, reinforced through real actions.

Ikhana means to know in Choctaw. As a Choctaw-owned company, PCG named its trainer to reflect the values it holds: clarity, teaching, plus cultural respect.

She is the face of the Interactive Tutorial Engine, carrying that meaning onto every screen she guides a user through.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Interactive Tutorial Engine?
+
It is FireFlight's built-in training system, driven by Ikhana, an on-screen guide. She walks users step by step through any process inside the system, pointing to each action and explaining each field as they go. Training happens in the work, not before it.
How is this different from videos or a manual?
+
Videos and manuals teach before the task and fade by the time it matters. The engine teaches during the task itself. Every action is reinforced by doing it, so users learn in real time on the real screen instead of recalling a video later.
Does every employee get the same training?
+
Yes. The instructions are built into the system, so every employee gets the same accurate, current walkthrough. There is no drift between what one trainer covered and what another skipped, and updates reach everyone at once.
Can it help with onboarding new hires?
+
Yes. Step-by-step process tours are made for onboarding, and a built-in system tour gives quick orientation. One client onboarded technicians three times faster using the engine instead of a live trainer on every screen.
Does the training stay current when the system changes?
+
Yes. The walkthroughs update centrally, so when a process or a feature changes the guidance changes with it. A user never follows steps that no longer match the screen in front of them.
How long does it take to set up?
+
Most deployments run in weeks, not months. The engine layers onto the apps your team already uses, so there is nothing new to install to start learning. Setup includes building the tours around your workflows.
