In today’s pharmaceutical landscape, efficient customer relationship management is critical. Pharma companies rely heavily on CRM solutions to maintain streamlined, compliant, and effective interactions. However, when systems don’t communicate effectively, data silos and disjointed customer journeys become significant hurdles. In this post, we’ll explore how Pulse Health’s integration with Veeva CRM resolves these challenges, offering unified solutions to improve your operational efficiency and customer engagement.
Understanding Veeva CRM
Veeva CRM is widely recognized as the leading CRM solution within the life sciences industry.
It provides pharma companies with robust capabilities, including multichannel closed-loop marketing (CLM), approved content delivery, comprehensive call planning, and field activity tracking.
Pharma businesses favor Veeva due to its compliance adherence, integrated content management, and the ability to function as the central hub for customer data and interactions.

Pulse Health specializes in creating tailored CRM and engagement solutions designed explicitly for the pharmaceutical sector.
Distinctively rapid in implementation and boasting seamless telephony integration, Pulse Health ensures pharma companies achieve compliant and highly effective communications.
Moreover, it enhances your CRM ecosystem by bridging the gaps between field representatives and office-based teams.

What Pulse Health Offers That Veeva Alone Can’t
While Veeva CRM excels at tracking customer interactions and managing compliance data, Pulse Health’s integrated solution brings several capabilities that go well beyond a standalone CRM:
Native Telephony & Omnichannel Routing
Pulse Health embeds voice, SMS, and live-chat channels directly into your Veeva environment.
No separate IVR setups or middleware: incoming calls and messages automatically flow into the same records you use for email and field activities, ensuring consistent, centralized engagement tracking.
AI-Enhanced Data Capture
Beyond basic activity logging, our AI engine listens to every call and chat to extract key insights—suggested follow-ups, sentiment flags, compliance-critical keywords—and pushes those structured summaries straight into custom Veeva objects, eliminating manual note-taking.
Compliance-Driven Sample Workflows
While Veeva Vault manages documents, Pulse Health automates the front-line sample-request process.
We capture consent, route requests through Vault workflows, and surface real-time inventory or expiry alerts directly within the CRM, so you never drop the ball on regulatory requirements.
Proactive Engagement Triggers
Pulse Health’s predictive analytics continuously monitor contact “health scores.”
When a patient or HCP scores below a defined threshold—based on refill patterns, message response rates, or call duration—our system can automatically create follow-up tasks or alert field teams, enabling true preventative outreach.
Embedded, Actionable Dashboards
Unlike generic CRM reports, our prebuilt Power BI dashboards live inside Veeva layouts, giving you one-click access to telephony KPIs, call-summary completion rates, and sample-compliance metrics—without flipping between platforms or licensing extra analytics tools.
White-Glove Service & Support
Pulse Health doesn’t just ship software. We handle onboarding, agent training, phone-number provisioning, and ongoing compliance reviews. Your team gets a dedicated Customer Success Manager to ensure your workflows—and your ROI—stay on track.
By combining human expertise, native telephony, AI-driven insights, and turnkey compliance workflows, Pulse Health turns Veeva CRM into a true, end-to-end engagement hub—something even the most advanced CRM can’t deliver on its own.
Technical Integration Insights
The integration utilizes secure OAuth-based APIs, allowing safe and compliant communication between Pulse Health and Veeva Vault and CRM. Extensive data mapping ensures accuracy, while role-based security and comprehensive audit logging guarantee compliance with GxP regulations.
Business Benefits of Integration
Integrating Pulse Health with Veeva offers measurable business benefits across departments:
- Sales Reps: Simplified operations, less data entry, quicker preparation, and instant access to compliant content.
- Marketing Teams: Improved visibility of content performance and more targeted campaigns.
- IT and Compliance: Streamlined operations and simplified compliance oversight.
- Leadership Teams: Enhanced accuracy in forecasting, strategic planning, and return-on-investment assessments.

Future Innovations and Enhancements
As part of our commitment to keeping Pulse Health at the forefront of pharma CRM innovation, we’re investing heavily in new capabilities that will make your Veeva integration smarter, more predictive, and even more tightly aligned with the unique demands of life-sciences:
AI-Powered Call Summaries
Leveraging advanced natural-language processing, Pulse Health will automatically generate concise, actionable summaries of every patient or HCP interaction. Rather than manually typing notes, your team will receive:
- Key talking points and follow-up items extracted from the call transcript
- Sentiment analysis flags to spot any negative or compliance-sensitive language
- Suggested next steps and recommended content (e.g., supporting materials or scheduling links)
This will accelerate data capture, reduce manual workload, and ensure critical details never slip through the cracks.
Predictive Health Scoring & Analytics
By combining engagement metrics (call frequency, message response rates) with patient-specific data (therapy stage, refill history), our predictive models will surface at-risk or high-priority contacts before they become issues. You’ll be able to:
- Identify patients likely to churn or miss refills, so you can intervene proactively
- Score HCPs by engagement potential, helping your field teams prioritize outreach
- Receive automated alerts when a contact’s “health score” dips below a threshold, driving timely follow-up
Deeper Veeva Vault Workflows
Beyond CRM records, Pulse Health will integrate directly with Veeva Vault to automate and document every step of your sample-compliance process. Upcoming features include:
- Automated Sample Request Routing: Capture requests during calls or chats and route them through Vault’s controlled document workflows without manual hand-offs
- Real-Time Expiry & Inventory Tracking: Surface low-inventory or near-expiry sample alerts directly in your CRM view, reducing waste and compliance risk
- Audit-Ready Documentation: Every sample interaction will be time-stamped and stored in Vault, complete with call recordings and consent logs, ensuring seamless regulatory audits.
Embedded Power BI Dashboards
To turn raw data into strategic insights, we’ll offer out-of-the-box Power BI dashboards embedded right within your Veeva layout. These dashboards will allow you to:
- Visualize call and message volumes by geography, product line, or therapy area
- Track KPIs like average call duration, summary completion rate, and sample-compliance metrics in real time
- Drill down from high-level trends into individual rep performance or patient cohorts, all without leaving the CRM.
By layering these capabilities onto our existing integration, Pulse Health will help your organization move from reactive outreach to truly proactive, data-driven engagement.
