PULSE REACH · AMBIENT LAYER

Pulse on the wall.
All day. Every day.

A zero-chrome, 4-panel fullscreen canvas purpose-built for the 55-inch TVs in your IT desk, store back-office, demo room, and exec briefing wall. Same Pulse data you already pay for — reshaped for furniture, not fingertips.

Three Wall modes — pick the one that matches your access pattern

Wall ships in three commercial modes. Most chains use chain-wide on the HQ TV plus a Store Manager Wall per branch. Standalone is for kiosk-only stores where you don't provision a store-manager user.

Mode Who gets it Price When to pick
Chain-wide Wall Anyone with active Pulse Infra $0 bundled with Infra HQ IT desk / exec briefing wall TVs / fleet-wide ambient signal across all stores.
Store Manager Wall Each Store Manager seat user (1-store scope) $19/mo per SM seat (Wall included) Per-store back-office TV — store manager watches their own store's health on a wall TV.
Standalone Wall Per-store license (no SM user needed) $9/store/mo TV in a store without an SM user — kiosk-style, single-store scope, no login. Requires any paid module on the account.

All three modes render the same Wall canvas; scope and access path differ. See full pricing →

THE PROBLEM

Your IT desk TV is showing nothing useful right now.

Walk into any multi-store retail HQ. There's a 55-inch TV mounted above the IT desk. On it: a Splunk dashboard nobody set up, a Power BI refresh that stopped in 2023, a Grafana panel that shows CPU of a server that was decommissioned last year — or, most often, nothing at all.

Retail operations runs on ambient signal. A store goes offline at 3pm — someone should see it on the wall before a customer calls. EOD ran late at two stores last night — the regional ops manager should notice on the way in at 08:00. The POS at the Cebu branch has been dropping overrides all morning — the LP analyst should catch it without having to log in.

Pulse has the data. Pulse Wall puts it on the furniture.

TVs showing nothing

85% of retail IT desks have screens mounted with no meaningful content on them.

Pull-only dashboards

Most monitoring products assume someone will log in. Most days, nobody does.

2-hour lag

Average time from "store goes offline" to "HQ knows" when nobody's watching a dashboard.

Lost revenue

A POS offline for 30 minutes at a busy store = 40+ missed transactions. Ambient visibility closes the gap.

FOUR PANELS · 180-SECOND CYCLE

What your team sees, every 45 seconds.

Four panels, fixed order, 45 seconds each. Hover anywhere to pause the rotation. Walk away and it resumes. No configuration, no dashboards to build — the panels are the opinion.

PANEL 1 · 0:00–0:45

Chain overview

The state of your estate in one glance. Health score and letter grade hero-sized. Below: stores online, transactions today, void rate, queue depth — each with today-vs-yesterday deltas.

  • Chain health score, 120pt — readable from 5 metres
  • Letter grade badge — the exec's shorthand
  • KPI tiles: stores online, txns today, voids 24h, queue depth
  • Today vs yesterday deltas — trend at a glance
  • 7-day score sparkline below the hero
PANEL 2 · 0:45–1:30

Store concern matrix

Top 12 stores ranked by concern — behind/offline first, void spikes next, then quiet stores. Each card is a store at a glance: status pill, txn count, voids, last-sync freshness. No clicks, no drill-down — the matrix is the answer.

  • 4×3 grid, 12 stores, auto-ranked by concern
  • Status pill: synced / behind / offline / degraded
  • Transactions and voids, colour-coded
  • Sync freshness — "45s ago" to "3h ago"
  • EOD days-behind badge when overdue
PANEL 3 · 1:30–2:15

Replication flow

Synced, behind, offline, queued, failed — the five numbers that tell you whether your chain is in sync with HQ right now. 120pt numerals, colour-coded, one glance, one answer.

  • 5 headline numbers: synced / behind / offline / queue / failed
  • Throughput chart — records/hour over 24h
  • Top 5 object types driving the queue
  • Same data source as Pulse Infra · Replication
  • Auto-refresh every 5 minutes — always current
PANEL 4 · 2:15–3:00

Alerts & compliance

Current P1/P2 incidents on the left. Chain compliance grade on the right. Quiet state? Recent wins — the last resolved incidents from the past 24 hours show you Pulse is watching.

  • Top 6 critical / high alerts, severity-coded
  • Compliance grade — PCI, GDPR, local frameworks
  • Certs expiring in the next 30 days
  • Quiet-state fallback: last 5 resolved in 24h
  • Agent offline banner if data goes stale >10 min
FOUR PERSONAS

Built for every screen in your operation.

Pulse Wall isn't for one role — it's ambient information for everyone who walks past the TV. The same canvas speaks to the IT lead, the store manager, the regional ops director, and the CEO visiting from corporate.

IT Director

"I'm watching replication and store status. If a sync lags or a store drops, I see it before the support ticket lands."

  • Panel 1 — chain headline
  • Panel 3 — replication flow
  • Panel 4 — critical alerts

Store Manager

"The back-office TV shows me my store and my chain peers. I know if my EOD is late or my voids are spiking without logging in."

  • Panel 2 — where I rank in the chain
  • Panel 1 — chain context
  • Panel 4 — my active alerts

Regional Ops

"I see which stores are behind, which have void spikes, and which are compliance-weak — all without opening a laptop."

  • Panel 2 — concern matrix
  • Panel 4 — compliance grade
  • Panel 1 — chain-wide KPIs

Executive / Board

"When the CEO walks past, the grade and revenue-today are up front. No drill-down needed. Pulse becomes the retail-ops furniture of our HQ."

  • Panel 1 — grade + revenue
  • Panel 4 — compliance posture
  • Panel 2 — store performance
FOUR ROOMS

Where Pulse Wall lives.

One canvas, four venues. Customers are running Pulse Wall on the screens they already own — no hardware, no vendor integration, just Chrome in kiosk mode.

IT Help Desk

The 55" above the support team. Replication state, store matrix, active P1/P2 — if a ticket comes in about a down store, the TV already shows which one. Tickets resolve faster when context is ambient.

Deployed: Chromecast → 4K TV → Chrome kiosk at /wall/

Store Back-Office

The monitor in the manager's office. Their store on the concern matrix, EOD status, loyalty attach rate, override flags. The manager sees their store in the chain context — competitive and honest.

Deployed: Fire TV Stick 4K → in-store TV → kiosk browser

Executive Briefing Wall

The corporate boardroom or the CEO's office. Grade + chain KPIs + compliance posture + revenue today. Conversation-starter for every C-suite visitor. Pulse becomes the artefact of retail operations health.

Deployed: 65-75" display, MacBook → HDMI, Chrome fullscreen

Demo / Showroom

The sales floor, the partner demo room, the pre-sale meeting. One canvas rotates the best of Pulse with no clicks, no navigation, no "let me just find that one page". It's Pulse as product, not dashboard.

Deployed: Laptop → HDMI → 55" demo-room TV
TWO MINUTES

Setup in three steps.

No agents to install, no vendor integrations, no project plan. You already have Pulse. You already have a TV. This is just connecting them.

1

Sign in

Open Chrome on a laptop next to the TV. Sign in to Pulse with an admin account on your tenant.

2

Press F

Navigate to /wall/, press F. Browser goes fullscreen. Drag the window to the TV via HDMI or Chromecast.

3

Walk away

The rotation runs, data refreshes, your team glances up all day. No babysitting. Session auth lasts 14 days.

PULSE REACH · AUTOMATIC

Free with any paid Pulse module.

Pulse Wall is part of Pulse Reach — the ambient layer that moves Pulse beyond the browser. When any Pulse module is on a paid tier, Reach lights up automatically for every admin on your tenant. No separate SKU, no upsell, no provisioning ticket. Pay for Pulse Infra, get Pulse Wall. Pay for Pulse Pharma, get Pulse Wall. Pay for Pulse AI, get Pulse Wall.

TECHNICAL

Engineered for ambient.

Pulse Wall runs on the same modern async architecture as the rest of the portal — refreshes every 5 minutes without polling storms, scales cleanly to a wall of screens. 4K-legible typography. Dark theme tuned to stay easy on retail-floor ambient lighting.

We build Pulse Wall on the same Tabler design system as the rest of the Pulse portal — so the data on the TV is visually consistent with the data on your laptop. No surprises when you switch between surfaces.

Tested on 4K (3840×2160), 1080p, and 1440p. Legible at 3 metres.

Hardware

Chromecast Ultra, Fire TV Stick 4K, MacBook/HDMI, Windows mini-PC.

Authentication

Session-based, 14-day default. Kiosk token mode ships Q2 2026.

Refresh

5-minute server-pull, client-side fade transitions. Zero polling storm.

Privacy

Aggregate numbers only. No loyalty IDs, patient names, or PAN data on-screen.

Accessibility

WCAG AA contrast. prefers-reduced-motion drops fade transitions.

COMPARISON

Why not just point Grafana at a TV?

Generic observability tools have TV modes. None of them understand retail operations. Here's what's different about Pulse Wall.

Pulse Wall Grafana Kiosk / Datadog TV / Power BI View
Data source iVend Retail + every Pulse module, out of box You configure the data sources; BYO connectors
Panel design Retail-opinionated: store matrix, replication, alerts Blank canvas; you build the dashboards
Setup time 2 minutes (sign in, press F) Hours to days to build the dashboard
Chain concern ranking Built-in — top 12 stores auto-ranked N/A — you write the query
EOD / replication / loyalty Native; same data as Pulse Infra Not modelled
Cost $0 additional — free with any paid Pulse module $50–500/month per TV (depends on vendor)
Maintenance CitiXsys updates panels; you never edit SQL Your team maintains the dashboard
FAQ

Common questions.

Pulse Wall uses standard session authentication. You sign in once on the laptop, the session cookie stays valid 14 days, and you move the browser window to the TV. No typing on the TV. Kiosk-token mode (long-lived bearer URL, admin-revocable) ships in a future release after a security review.

Between 10 and 60 minutes of staleness, Pulse Wall adds a yellow "agent stale — showing cached data" banner and slightly desaturates the panels. Past 60 minutes, the banner turns red ("agent offline — please investigate"). Panels keep rendering from the last snapshot. No dark screen, no misleading green.

Not currently. The 4-panel order and 45-second cadence are fixed — the opinion is the product. Custom panels and per-tenant rotation ordering are on the roadmap, but only if real customer feedback demands it.

One tenant per Wall. The Wall at supermarket.pulse.ivend.com/wall/ shows that tenant's data only. A user who belongs to multiple tenants picks one and signs in — the Wall binds to that tenant for the session. Multi-tenant switching is planned for a future release.

Pulse Wall never displays loyalty IDs, patient names, customer PII, or payment account numbers. Only aggregate chain and store-level KPIs plus named store codes. The data on the wall is the same data that would sit on an ops dashboard — designed to be visible to anyone who works in the operation.

Zero additional cost. Pulse Wall is part of Pulse Reach, which activates automatically on any tenant with at least one paid Pulse module subscription (Infra, AI, Pharma, or a future vertical pack). The free Pulse Health tier alone does not unlock Reach — but a 30-day trial of any paid module does.

Put Pulse on the wall.

Every paid Pulse tenant already has it. Sign in to your portal, open /wall/, press F. Your HQ's TVs finally earn their mount.
