The Expected Profit tile is the sum of the expected profit on all accepted quotations within the chosen date range. This metric is extremely important as low expected profit leaves no room for error.

 

Pending Quotes Tile:

The Pending Quotes tile highlights the number of quotes with a status of 'Pending' within the chosen date range. This metric is important and can be used to improve the success of your businesses. A high pending quote number could be an indication that you are not converting jobs.

 

Average Job Tile:

The Average Job tile calculates the average value of your accepted quotations within the chosen date range. This metric is important to understand as a low average job value will require a significant number of jobs to achieve expected sale targets.
