In **[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com)**'s quote generation template, a chart shows how many tickets or orders were opened per day, letting you visually compare current volume against the historical pattern and spot drops or spikes outside the norm.

## Why does tracking daily order volume reveal problems before they become a crisis?

If a company usually opens between 30 and 50 orders a day and that number suddenly drops to 15 for no apparent reason, that's a warning sign — it could be an issue with the intake form, a marketing gap, or something in the operation that needs attention. Without tracking that number daily, such a drop could go unnoticed for days.

## How to spot volume drops in Jestor?

1. Track the daily open-orders chart on the quote template's dashboard.
2. Compare current daily volume with the historical average of previous days.
3. When you notice a significant drop — like going from 30 to 15 orders — investigate with the team whether something specific is going on.
4. Use this same dashboard to also track profit and average ticket indicators, cross-referencing volume with the period's financial results.

| Indicator                     | Use                                                |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **Orders opened per day**     | Detects drops or spikes outside the normal pattern |
| **Profit and average ticket** | Puts volume into context against financial results |
