The monitoring and intelligence layer for Hellgate CPA.
Pulse transforms raw transaction data into live insight. It streams events, surfaces anomalies, and reveals performance trends across every flow - giving you full visibility and control without slowing anything down.
You can’t improve
what you can’t see.
Most payment teams operate blind. Once a transaction leaves the checkout, visibility drops - issues are caught too late, performance insights are siloed, and manual reporting slows everything down. Without live feedback loops, optimization becomes guesswork and small issues scale into costly failures.
The result?
Missed revenue opportunities, wasted time, and growing uncertainty in how your payment flows are really performing.
No real-time visibility
Slow issue detection
Fragmented performance data
Real-time intelligence for every payment flow.
