For Shopify merchants, understanding order statuses and trends is critical to running an efficient business. AngularView’s “Orders by Status” dashboards provide insights into processed, canceled, and new orders across yearly, quarterly, monthly, and weekly periods. These dashboards empower merchants to make data-driven decisions to improve operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and profitability.
Yearly Orders by Status Dashboard
The yearly dashboard offers a comprehensive overview of order trends for the past three calendar years, helping merchants spot long-term patterns.
- What It Provides:
Key metrics like “Processed Order Count,” “Cancelled Order Count,” and “New Order Count” reveal order trends across years. Dimension columns such as “Shop Name” and “Currency Code” allow multi-store and multi-currency analysis. - How It Helps:
- Analyze the performance of stores over multiple years.
- Identify growth trends and areas of improvement in order fulfillment.
- Compare yearly performance across currencies and fulfillment statuses.
- Tips for Maximum Impact:
- Enable optional measures like “RFM Segmentation” to classify customers by their recency, frequency, and monetary value.
- Drill down into “Order Financial Status” to evaluate payment-related issues.
- Use Case:
A merchant identifies that canceled orders increased over the last year, prompting them to revise their shipping policies, resulting in fewer cancellations the following year.
Quarterly Orders by Status Dashboard
The quarterly dashboard provides a focused view of order statuses, perfect for analyzing seasonal patterns and quarterly performance.
- Why It Matters:
Metrics such as “New Order Count” and “Cancelled Order Count” highlight seasonal spikes or dips in orders. With time depth options like “Last 2 Quarters” and “Last 4 Quarters,” merchants can evaluate shorter-term trends. - Practical Benefits:
- Pinpoint seasonal influences on order fulfillment.
- Adjust marketing and inventory strategies for peak seasons.
- Monitor quarterly campaign performance and refine as needed.
- Suggestions for Use:
- Use “Gross Profit Percentage” to understand how cancellations and refunds impact profitability.
- Leverage “SKU Count” to identify which products drive quarterly sales.
- Real-Life Application:
During Q4, a merchant spots a surge in canceled orders tied to a high-demand product going out of stock. They adjust inventory planning to prevent this issue the following year.
Monthly Orders by Status Dashboard
The monthly dashboard is tailored for merchants who want to monitor order trends on a more granular level.
- Detailed Insights:
This dashboard tracks metrics like “Processed Order Count” and “New Order Count” month-by-month, helping merchants respond quickly to changes. Dimensions like “Order Fulfillment Status” and “Shop Name” allow for a deeper dive into operational issues. - How It Solves Problems:
- Detect monthly trends affecting order completion.
- Respond to sudden changes in order cancellations or fulfillment delays.
- Assess the effectiveness of monthly promotions or discounts.
- Pro Tips:
- Enable “Total Discount” and “Refundable Quantity” to measure the impact of discounts and refunds on monthly performance.
- Use “Currency Code” to track order trends in international markets.
- Example Scenario:
A merchant discovers a decline in processed orders during a summer month due to delayed shipping. By collaborating with their logistics provider, they ensure smoother operations in subsequent months.
Weekly Orders by Status Dashboard
The weekly dashboard provides real-time insights, enabling merchants to act swiftly to improve operational efficiency.
- What It Offers:
With metrics like “Processed Order Count” and “Cancelled Order Count,” this dashboard allows merchants to monitor weekly trends. Dimensions such as “Order Financial Status” help uncover payment issues. - How It Helps:
- Address weekly fluctuations in order cancellations.
- Evaluate the immediate impact of flash sales or marketing campaigns.
- Quickly resolve operational bottlenecks causing delays in fulfillment.
- Tips for Success:
- Use “Unfulfilled Quantity” to identify and resolve stock-related issues.
- Monitor “Refund Item Value” to manage refund trends effectively.
- Use Case in Practice:
A merchant notices an uptick in canceled orders during a promotion week. By reviewing the feedback, they find that shipping costs deterred customers and adjust their promotion strategy.
