Pulse is the Vantegrate blog. It is written by Juan Manuel Garrido and Francisco Morales, co-founders of Vantegrate, together with the team that implements Salesforce, Oracle and AI agents for growing companies. Every month we publish analysis, guides and case studies on selling, serving customers and running operations with AI: sales on WhatsApp, document automation, data and BI, logistics, and news from Salesforce, Agentforce and Oracle. We write from what we see in each implementation. If you are looking for the definition of a term, it lives in the glossary; here you will find how to apply it in your company.
