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.

1
Monitor

Track every transaction and system event as it happens, with live metrics and anomaly alerts across all CPA componernts.

2
Analyze

Understand performance trends with rich contextual data - approval rates, latency, error causes, and provider efficiency.

3
Optimize

Use real-time intelligence to make fast, informed decisions: optimize routes, adjust rules, or trigger automated workflows.

Real-Time Event Streaming

Stream every transaction and system event as it happens - complete visibility across Commerce, Hub, Guardian, and Specter.

Unified Metrics Dashboard

Monitor approvals, latency, and error rates from one interface. Pulse centralizes data from every provider and module for instant clarity.

Anomaly Detection & Alerts

Catch irregular patterns before they become issues. Pulse flags deviations in performance or volume automatically.

End-to-End Traceability

Follow each payment from checkout to settlement. Every step, decision, and retry is logged and observable in real time.

Adaptive Insights

Pulse learns from historical performance data, revealing trends and helping you refine routing, retries, and orchestration logic.

Seamless CPA Integration

Built into the Hellgate CPA fabric, Pulse shares intelligence with Hub, Specter, and Guardian to create a continuously self-optimizing system.
