WooCommerce Quotes & Orders piggybacks on the standard WooCommerce order schema. Quote requests are written as shop_order posts (or wc_orders rows when HPOS is enabled) with a plugin-registered quote-pending status and the requested-line metadata stored in postmeta. The default Orders list lumps quotes and paid orders together, with no quick way to rank quotes by value or age.

SleekView reads shop_order and the linked woocommerce_order_items + woocommerce_order_itemmeta tables directly, exposing requested line totals, customer email, and quote age as proper columns. Sales can filter to quote-pending only, sort by total, and bulk-promote accepted quotes to processing without touching each row.

Status transitions go through WooCommerce's CRUD layer, so the woocommerce_order_status_changed hook fires and any follow-up emails or accounting webhooks the plugin wires up still run. Where direct table writes are needed (for example, bulk-tagging stale quotes), SleekView falls back to safe SQL with conflict detection on post_modified.

B2B and trade-side WooCommerce stores live on the open-quote backlog, not on completed orders. Whether a €3,000 quote sits for three days before a follow-up or rots for three weeks is the difference between a closed deal and a lost one, and the default Orders screen makes that backlog invisible by mixing quotes into the same list as paid orders. The data is already there in shop_order (or wc_orders) and woocommerce_order_items: status, customer email, requested total, line count, age from post_date.

What's missing is a single screen where sales can rank by value, filter to stale, and promote inline without opening every quote. SleekView's pivot turns the existing schema into that workspace. A sales manager can scan the top-twenty open quotes by value, see which ones are over a week old, and trigger the follow-up bulk-action in one pass.

Finance gets a pipeline-value sum that updates as quotes accept or decline. Support gets per-customer quote history alongside paid orders. The plugin already does the data capture, the admin just doesn't expose it operationally.
