PULSE Update - July 2026
NEW FEATURE Transfer animals between PULSE dairies: We’ve streamlined moving animals between PULSE-connected dairies. The new Transfer Animals feature allows you to send full animal histories—including health events, breedings, and pedigree data—directly from one PULSE dairy to another. This replaces manual data entry and ensures the receiving dairy has complete records from day one. When a transfer is sent, PULSE sends a real-time notification to the receiving dairy showing the exact number of pending records.
- Automated workflows: Kick off transfers automatically by selecting the Sold to another dairy disposal code when marking animals as SOLD.
- Smart mapping: Map events from the sender dairy to your own event codes to maintain consistent records.
- Data integrity: Built-in validation checks identify duplicate animal IDs or items before the transfer is finalized. Real-time notifications: Receive email or PULSE alerts when a new transfer is pending your approval.
