Monitor orders, fulfilment, delivery and settlement. Find failures, leaks and risks before they cost sales. Keep tracking, access and change under governed control. Improve discovery, conversion, campaigns and repeat purchase. Identify missing, inconsistent or outdated product data. ### From connection to verified outcome The controlled sequence every capability follows. Nothing changes a connected system without the approval step. Authorise the source. Scopes are shown before access is granted. Watch the signals against your own baselines, not universal defaults. Run checks and gather evidence specific to your store. Explain what happened, why it matters and the proposed action. You review scope, risk and reversibility before anything changes. Apply through governed connector operations. Confirm the intended result and keep the receipt. No changes are made without the configured approval policy. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system; schedules, access scopes, API usage and data handling remain governed by Vortex IQ controls. ### Monitor performance 31 performance signals. Open an outcome to see its signals and how each one alerts. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system. | Signal | Alert behaviour | What it tracks | | -------------------------------------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Average Order Value** | Alert band 0 / -5 | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **Extension / Modification Conflicts** | Merchant rule | OpenCart-distinctive , OCmod / vQmod modifications conflicting (common after a core update). Each conflict can silently break a storefront feature. | | **Installed Extensions / Modules** | Watch only | Count of installed vQmod / OCmod / extensions , OpenCart installs are extension-heavy. | | **New Customers (30d)** | Watch only | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **Newsletter Opt-In Rate** | Watch only | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **Order Processing Backlog** | Alert band 10 / 50 | Alerts for Order Processing Backlog. | | **Order Status Distribution** | Watch only | Order Status Distribution, shown by share. | | **Order Volume** | Alert band 0 / -10 | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **Pending Orders** | Alert band 10 / 50 | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **Processing Orders** | Watch only | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **Stock-Out Burst** | Merchant rule | Alerts for Stock-Out Burst. | | **Total Customers** | Watch only | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | Signal | Alert behaviour | What it tracks | | ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Cancellation Rate** | Alert band 1 / 3 | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **Failed Orders (24h)** | Alert band -2 / 2 | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **High-Value Customers Unengaged on Email** | Merchant rule | High-Value Customers Unengaged on Email, broken down by row. | | **Low-Stock SKUs** | Alert band 5 / 50 | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **OpenCart Inventory vs Marketplace Listings** | Merchant rule | OpenCart Inventory vs Marketplace Listings. | | **Orders → Email Attribution** | Merchant rule | Orders → Email Attribution, broken down by row. | | **Out-of-Stock Products** | Alert band 0 / 5 | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **Refund Rate** | Alert band 2 / 5 | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **Revenue at Risk (live)** | Merchant rule | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **Top-Velocity SKUs vs Ad Spend** | Merchant rule | Top-Velocity SKUs vs Ad Spend, broken down by row. | | Signal | Alert behaviour | What it tracks | | --------------------------------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | **Disabled Products** | Watch only | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **Empty Categories (0 products)** | Alert band 0 / 3 | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **Products Missing SKU / Model** | Alert band 5 / 50 | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | **Total Products** | Watch only | Description pending editorial review; the signal is live. | | Signal | Alert behaviour | What it tracks | | ---------------------------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Error Log Volume (24h)** | Merchant rule | OpenCart writes a system error log , a volume spike flags a freshly broken extension or template. | | **OpenCart Version Status** | Merchant rule | OpenCart-distinctive , self-hosted means version drift is the merchant's problem.

Candidate remediations are never executable. Open a check for the detail. **Severity** critical · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Candidate remediation When more than 1 order in 10 is failing to reach fulfilment, customers have paid for goods that are not shipping on time; refunds, chargebacks and support load follow quickly. A likely corrective operation exists, but its mapping and recovery are not yet complete, so execution is not offered. Evidence and recommended manual steps are provided. Reference: `ECOM-FULFIL-001` **Severity** high · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Report only More than 1 in 10 orders is being cancelled. Unlike a return, a cancellation often means the customer changed their mind or hit a problem before the order even shipped, checkout friction, a payment failure, an unexpectedly long delivery estimate, which usually points to a fixable step in the order f Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps. Reference: `ECOM-CANCEL-001` **Severity** high · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Candidate remediation More than 1 in 20 orders is being refunded. Beyond the direct revenue loss, this rate also carries payment-cost consequences, processors and payment gateways watch refund and dispute rates, and a sustained high rate can affect processing terms independent of the lost sale itself. A likely corrective operation exists, but its mapping and recovery are not yet complete, so execution is not offered. Evidence and recommended manual steps are provided. Reference: `ECOM-REFUND-001` **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only Discounting above roughly 20 percent of revenue erodes margin quickly, often without lifting volume enough to pay for itself, and trains customers to wait for codes. Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps. Reference: `ECOM-DISCOUNT-001` **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Candidate remediation Every product at zero or negative stock is a page a customer can still find, still add to cart in some storefront setups, and still be disappointed by. Zero-stock listings that stay live also keep spending any ad budget or SEO ranking pointed at them, driving traffic to a product nobody can actually A likely corrective operation exists, but its mapping and recovery are not yet complete, so execution is not offered. Evidence and recommended manual steps are provided. Reference: `ECOM-INVENTORY-001` **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Candidate remediation Fewer than 1 in 5 customers comes back for a second order. Acquiring a first-time customer is almost always the most expensive part of earning their business, so a repeat rate this low means the store is paying that acquisition cost repeatedly instead of earning a second (cheaper) sale from customer A likely corrective operation exists, but its mapping and recovery are not yet complete, so execution is not offered. Evidence and recommended manual steps are provided. Reference: `ECOM-CUSTOMER-001` **Severity** low · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Prepared fix Products without SEO titles compete in search under their bare product names; pages that could rank for buying keywords stay invisible. A prepared, approval-gated fix exists: the proposed change, affected records, risk, reversibility and verification are shown before execution. Reference: `ECOM-CATALOGUE-002` **Severity** low · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Candidate remediation A product with no description gives a shopper nothing to evaluate beyond a photo and a price. It also gives search engines almost nothing to index, so these products are simultaneously converting worse for visitors who do find them and ranking worse in organic search for anyone who has not. A likely corrective operation exists, but its mapping and recovery are not yet complete, so execution is not offered. Evidence and recommended manual steps are provided. Reference: `ECOM-CATALOGUE-001` ### Automate approved work Vortex IQ is integrated with **4 read** and **1 write** operations across categorys, customers, logins, orders, products on OpenCart. Combine them with anything from the **over 13,000 operations across more than 200 connectors** to automate the work in your own words. Changes follow your configured approval policy: the target, proposed change, affected records, risk, reversibility and verification plan are shown before execution.
