Hi,
I want to know whether the Pulsar premium will work well enough on desktop as much on an ipad? My requirement is to access salesforce offline from desktop as well as ipad.
Hi Amita, Yes. Pulsar can run on a Desktop/PC as long as it is running Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.
Can Pulsar be used on an android phone?
Yes. Pulsar runs on Android 5.0 and up.
Is there a support phone number I can call to answer more questions?
Hello
We would like to test Pulsar for a client who needs offline features. Is there any chance you could facilitate a test license of Pulsar Premium?
Thanks
Hi,
I am Ganesh Shinde, Salesforce Developer from Aress Softwares.
We have a business scenario that Pulsar App can suffice the requirements.
We have followed the steps from the document you have published on – https://luminix.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PD/pages/57999373/1.+Quick+Setup+Guide+for+Pulsar
This is a great app to use Salesforce records in offline mode. Syncing of custom objects is a leap step.
It is the creation of new records for standard/custom objects we have more interest in.
It would be very helpful if you provide the support for completing the requirement.
Hi Ganesh, Thanks for contacting us. We will send you an email to coordinate working on this project. Thanks!
Hello There,
One of our vendors are recommending pulsar app for our Salesforce FSL implementation, we have a complex requirement for managing Multiple tier work orders, task and a strong desire for configuring custom objects. Based on my limited research I see you have some robust/mature app for CRM. I am not sure about your FSL capabilities. Is it possible for you to share any whitepaper/implementation guide you may have specifically for FSL. Of course having offline capability is key.
Hi Abha, sent you an email. We have a close partnership with Salesforce regarding FSL support within Pulsar. Happy to walk you through those details.
