Customer roadmap software
Host a branded roadmap on your public portal so customers always know what is coming next.

A public product roadmap your customers can trust
A public product roadmap builds trust and reduces "when will you build X?" support tickets. Votiq gives you roadmap columns — planned, in progress, shipped — with upvotes that reflect real customer demand.
Overview
Public product roadmap software is how modern SaaS teams replace vague promises with visible progress. When customers can see what is planned, in progress, and shipped — and vote on what matters — you spend less time answering status questions and more time shipping the right work.
Votiq is customer roadmap software designed for startups and product-led teams. Your roadmap lives on a branded public portal and inside the embeddable widget, next to feedback and changelog. Items stay linked to the original feature requests, so prioritization is grounded in votes and volume, not the loudest Slack thread.
You do not need an enterprise PM suite to run a transparent roadmap. From £20/mo, Votiq combines voting, Kanban execution, and release announcements so the public story stays in sync with what your team actually builds.

What makes a public product roadmap useful
A useful public product roadmap is honest, scannable, and connected to feedback. Columns for planned, in progress, and shipped set expectations. Votes show relative demand. Links back to requests explain why something is on the board. Votiq keeps that structure simple on purpose. Heavyweight roadmapping tools often add layers of initiatives, OKRs, and portfolio views that customers never see. Your public audience needs clarity — not an internal strategy deck.
How voting improves prioritization
Feature voting on the roadmap turns opinions into signals. When ten accounts upvote the same item, you have evidence. When an internal pet project has zero votes, you can challenge it before it consumes a sprint. Voting works best next to intake. Customers who submit via the widget or portal can find related ideas, add their vote instead of creating duplicates, and follow status as work moves. That is the difference between a static “roadmap.png” and living public product roadmap software.
Keeping the roadmap truthful
Trust breaks when the public roadmap diverges from reality. Votiq ties roadmap status to your Kanban workflow so “in progress” means someone is actually building it. When you ship, mark feedback complete and publish a changelog entry — the shipped column and “what’s new” stay aligned. This loop also helps sales and success teams. They can point prospects at the portal instead of promising timelines in a spreadsheet no engineer has seen.
Public roadmap vs private planning
Not everything belongs on a public board. Internal spikes, debt, and sensitive bets can stay private on Kanban. Votiq lets you share the customer-facing story — the features and fixes people asked for — without exposing every internal card. Start with a few high-signal items, invite votes, and expand as your audience grows. Transparency scales better than silence.
