At a glance
Orders / Day plots your daily Walmart Marketplace order count over time, so demand rhythm and sudden swings are easy to read. It is the heartbeat of your channel and a fast way to catch a spike before it overwhelms dispatch capacity. It also makes promotional lift and weekday-versus-weekend patterns obvious at a glance.
Calculation
Vortex IQ counts your Walmart Marketplace orders for each calendar day in the selected 30-day window and plots them as a daily series. This produces the line chart you see, where each point is one day’s order total. As noted in the At a glance summary, the unit is a plain order count per day. The worked example below shows how a spike in the line translates into an operational action.Worked example
A representative reading of Orders / Day for a typical merchant on Walmart Marketplace. On 12 Mar 26 a seller averaging around 40 orders a day sees the line jump to roughly 110 after a Walmart promotional placement went live. Dispatch is staffed for the normal baseline, so pending dispatch starts to build. The action is to add picking and packing capacity for the duration of the promotion and watch the on-time dispatch rate so the lift does not turn into late shipments.
