Distributing Pulsar to Your Users via Business Store Distribution
August 29, 2024
Background
Business organizations today have two primary ways for their workers to get and use apps on their mobile devices. The first and most common is to use a public app store such as Apple’s App Store for iOS devices, Google Play for Android devices, or the Microsoft Store for Windows devices. Consumers and business users around the world use these stores. Public app stores have the advantage that they are familiar, readily accessible almost everywhere in the world, and provide the latest released version of applications.
However, for many businesses, public app stores are not preferred. This is especially important for device applications connected to a company’s business processes and internal data. Moreover, those business processes are often customized and carefully tested for a specific mobile application version. Changes to those apps may disrupt workflows or introduce other undesired impacts to essential business processes. Such businesses need more control over who can install specific applications, where they are accessed, and which versions are available to users to ensure they will function as intended when interacting with the company’s internal workflows and data. In these cases, organizations may choose to use a private app store.
Understanding this need, Luminix provides its customers with public and private app store options to access Pulsar, its market-leading solution for securely accessing cloud systems such as Salesforce Field Service, even offline.

How to Implement Business Store Distribution
The process of setting up Business Store Distribution for the Pulsar app involves several key steps:
- Manage App Updates and Configuration: As updates to the Pulsar app are released, you can push these updates directly to all users, ensuring they always use the latest version. Additionally, any changes to app configurations can be managed centrally, reducing the risk of inconsistencies across users.
- Set Up Your Business Store Account: This involves creating a business account with the relevant platform’s app store, such as Apple Business Manager, Google Play for Work, or Microsoft Intune. You’ll need to follow specific steps, including verifying your business, setting up roles and permissions, etc., following the respective store guidelines. For more details, refer to the FAQ about app distribution in the Pulsar for Salesforce documentation.
