Compliance & Equipment Management
Stay compliant and keep your equipment organized with automated tracking, document management, and inventory control.
Compliance Without the Chaos
For ISOs, compliance is not a one-time checkbox—it is an ongoing operation that touches every merchant, every processor relationship, and every piece of equipment in your portfolio. Pulse CRM brings PCI tracking, document management, and equipment lifecycle management into a single platform so nothing falls through the cracks. From the moment a merchant is boarded through merchant onboarding, compliance requirements are automatically assigned and monitored.
Because compliance data flows directly into fraud detection and risk scoring, your teams get a complete picture of merchant health without toggling between systems. Expired documents, overdue PCI questionnaires, and unaccounted-for terminals all surface automatically—giving operations and compliance teams the visibility they need to act before problems escalate.
Key Features
PCI Compliance Tracking
Monitor PCI DSS compliance status across your entire merchant portfolio. Track Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs), vulnerability scan results, and compliance deadlines. Receive automated alerts when merchants fall out of compliance.
Document Requirements Management
Define and track required documents for each merchant type and processor. Automatically request missing documents, track submission status, and maintain a centralized document repository with version control and audit trails.
Equipment Catalog
Maintain a comprehensive catalog of terminals, POS systems, and accessories available for deployment. Track pricing, specifications, compatibility, and available inventory for each item in your catalog.
Inventory Management
Track equipment inventory across locations with real-time stock levels. Manage purchases, returns, and transfers. Set reorder alerts to ensure you always have equipment available when merchants need it.
Equipment Deployment & Tracking
Manage the full equipment lifecycle from warehouse to merchant location. Track deployments, swaps, returns, and repairs. Know exactly which equipment is deployed at each merchant location.
Regulatory Compliance Automation
Stay ahead of evolving regulatory requirements with automated compliance workflows. Track AML/KYC status, maintain audit-ready records, and ensure your merchants meet all regulatory obligations.

How Compliance Tracking Works
Define Requirements
Configure compliance requirements by merchant type, processor, and risk category. Set document checklists, PCI deadlines, and equipment standards so every merchant has a clear path to compliance from day one.
Monitor Status
A centralized dashboard tracks compliance status across your entire portfolio in real time. See at a glance which merchants are compliant, which are pending, and which need immediate attention.
Send Alerts
Automated notifications go out to merchants and internal teams when deadlines approach, documents expire, or compliance status changes. Escalation rules ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
Collect Documents
Merchants upload required documents directly through secure portals. Pulse CRM validates submissions, tracks version history, and maintains a centralized repository for every file.
Report & Audit
Generate audit-ready reports on demand. Full compliance history, document trails, and equipment records are available for processor reviews, regulatory audits, and internal analysis.
Comprehensive Compliance Coverage
Track every compliance requirement across your portfolio:
- PCI DSS Self-Assessment Questionnaire tracking
- Quarterly vulnerability scan monitoring
- AML/KYC verification status
- Business license and registration tracking
- Insurance certificate management
- Processor-specific compliance requirements
- Annual compliance renewal reminders
- Compliance exception tracking and resolution
Terminal Lifecycle Management
Every terminal in your inventory has a story—from the moment it arrives at your warehouse to deployment at a merchant location, through swaps, repairs, and eventual retirement. Pulse CRM tracks the full lifecycle so you always know exactly where each device is and what condition it is in.
When a merchant requests a replacement or a terminal needs to be recalled, your operations team can locate the device instantly, initiate a return or swap workflow, and update inventory counts automatically. No more spreadsheets, no more guessing which warehouse has stock.
Document Expiration & Renewal
Business licenses expire. Insurance certificates lapse. Certifications need annual renewal. Pulse CRM tracks every document with an expiration date and sends automated reminders to merchants and your internal team well before deadlines arrive, so compliance gaps never catch you off guard.
When a merchant uploads a renewed document, Pulse CRM validates it, archives the previous version, and updates the compliance status across every dashboard and report. The entire renewal cycle—from reminder to verification—is handled without manual intervention.
