How to spot abnormal drops in the number of daily open orders by comparing with the average

To spot abnormal drops in the number of open orders, use the daily orders indicator on the quotes template dashboard — it shows the daily volume, letting you visually compare it against the company's historical average.

Why track this number daily?

A company that usually opens 30 to 50 orders a day and suddenly drops to 15 is likely facing some kind of problem: a failed sales channel, an unavailable public form, or an internal bottleneck.

Without a visible indicator, that drop is only noticed at the end of the month, once it has already hit the results. Tracking the number daily lets you act while the problem is still small.

How to track this metric

Open the quotes template dashboard.
Find the daily open orders indicator.
Compare today's value against the last 7 and 30 days to spot deviations.
If you notice a meaningful drop, talk to the team to investigate the cause.
