uLab Systems® Expands uDesign® Cloud and Reintroduces VIP uAssist® Ahead of AAO 2026, Showcasing a Complete Web-Based Digital Orthodontic Platform

Published

on

MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — uLab Systems today announced recent and upcoming updates to uDesign® Cloud, along with the return of its VIP uAssist® Program, reinforcing the company’s evolution from an in-office aligner workflow pioneer into a complete, web-based digital orthodontic platform. The expanded Cloud experience gives orthodontic practices more ways to plan, order, print, and manage aligner and retainer workflows in one place—while preserving the flexibility and control that have long defined the uLab approach.

The updates build on uDesign Cloud 2.0, which brought self-planning and STL export for printers into a streamlined browser-based workflow for Mac and PC users. uLab is also reintroducing its VIP uAssist Program, a premium treatment planning option that provides priority access, expert guidance, and personalized support for practices seeking a higher-touch experience.

“uLab’s technical teams have stayed focused on listening to customers and turning that feedback into practical improvements they can use every day,” said Shawn Powers, CIO of uLab Systems. “Our goal is to give practices more flexibility without making the workflow more complicated.”

The new Cloud 2.0 platform enables faster release cadence to better serve requests from our customers. Recent and upcoming uDesign Cloud enhancements include EasyRx integration, expanded one-click scanner integrations, additional self-planning tools such as Global Movement, Pontic and Domes, Space Management, and other favorite tools from the desktop uDesign software.

For retainer workflows, uLab is highlighting a growing set of program enablers designed for speed and convenience. These include Retainer Fast Track, the ability to ship to an alternate address, custom branded storage cases, and a new 8-retainer bundle that allows multiple shipments. uLab is also introducing a 1-year warranty on Reva® retainers, underscoring its confidence in the material and their broader retainer offering. Reva-based products remain a key part of the uLab platform, with the company continuing to emphasize the material’s thinner profile and sustained force retention over time. uSmile® aligners and retainers are manufactured with Reva in the USA to support fast, reliable delivery for practices.

“Reva has been a strong addition to the uLab platform because it gives us a material that feels thinner while still performing the way we need it to,” said Dr. Bill Layman. “What stands out to me is that uLab keeps building around real practice needs—not just treatment planning, but also faster retainer workflows, easier ordering, and more options for how a doctor wants to work.”

uLab will showcase these updates at the 2026 AAO Annual Session in Orlando, Florida, May 1–3, at Booth 2353. The company will also host a Lunch N Learn on Saturday featuring Dr. Bill Layman.

Promotions tied to AAO include Comprehensive Aligner Bundle Packages for a discounted price and deep discounts on shopuLab.com offerings. Offers available now through AAO include Retainer Programs as low as $16.25 per retainer, Futures Program savings for 12–24 months, and an Alliedstar Scanner Program through a partnership with Voxel Dental.

“Orthodontists want technology that respects how they already work,” Powers added. “That is what continues to drive uLab. Whether a practice wants to self-plan in the Cloud, use uAssist, print in-office, order manufactured aligners, or simplify retainer fulfillment, we are building a platform that gives them those choices in a more connected way.”

uDesign Cloud reflects uLab’s continued focus on flexible orthodontic workflows—bringing together planning, manufacturing choice, retainer speed, and ordering convenience in a modern cloud-based environment. The result is a more complete digital platform that helps practices reduce friction, maintain control, and move from scan to treatment or retention more efficiently.

Electrolux Group to end production in Jászberény, Hungary

Published

By

STOCKHOLM, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Electrolux Group has decided to end production at the Jászberény, Hungary factory, which manufactures built-in and freestanding refrigeration products. Production is expected to cease by the end of 2026. A restructuring charge of approximately SEK 0.6 billion, of which SEK 0.3 billion is cash related, will be reported as a negative non-recurring item affecting operating income for Region Europe, Middle East & Africa and Asia-Pacific in the second quarter of 2026.

The decision follows a review of the company’s strategy to strengthen cost competitiveness and increase agility through production footprint optimization. This is driven by the current competitive environment, which is impacted by stagnant market demand, price pressure, and increasing constraints on cost competitiveness. The planned site closure will impact approximately 600 employees.

Electrolux Group will fully meet demand for refrigeration products by leveraging existing operations as well as working with external OEM partners. The decision does not affect the local sales and marketing activities managed by the Budapest office. 

This is information that AB Electrolux is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the contact person set out below, on 22-04-2026 08:30 CET.

MediaGo and hipto Secure Another Les Cas d’Or Gold in Performance Marketing

Published

on

By

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, MediaGo, a global intelligent advertising platform, and hipto, France’s premier lead generation specialist, won Gold in the “Content and Vertical Industries” category at the prestigious French digital marketing awards, Les Cas d’Or. Recognized for a benchmark performance marketing campaign in the health insurance sector, this award—voted on by over 40 brand marketing directors—serves as further authoritative validation of MediaGo’s technical prowess and service capabilities in the European market.

Following previous wins of Gold in the Native Advertising category and Bronze in the Banking & Insurance Acquisition category, this latest industry honor marks another significant milestone. It underscores that MediaGo’s localized native advertising capabilities, along with its ability to apply deep learning technologies in complex user acquisition scenarios across France and Europe, have earned high acclaim from both the market and industry experts, cementing its position at the forefront of the industry.

The French health insurance market is highly competitive and saturated. Local advertisers have long relied heavily on search and social media channels, resulting in persistently high CPAs and significant traffic inflation. Addressing these industry pain points, MediaGo and hipto collaborated to pioneer a new growth trajectory, establishing the open web as the third core acquisition pillar alongside search and social. By leveraging premium local news and information publishers in France, they seamlessly integrated native ads into media environments, providing the insurance sector with a scalable, replicable growth blueprint to effectively counter traffic inflation.

This award-winning campaign focused on scaling the acquisition of high-intent leads in the insurance sector. It successfully overcame three structural challenges inherent in traditional bidding models: reactive algorithms, high cold-start costs, and the difficulty of balancing scale with efficiency. This achievement further validates MediaGo’s strong operational capabilities and its innovation in native advertising within the French market.

Powered by five deep learning models and the newly upgraded SmartBid 3.0, MediaGo precisely predicts the conversion probability of each ad impression in real time. Paired with hipto’s high-frequency creative iterations (3–5 times per week), MediaGo continuously identifies high-potential audience clusters, further enhancing targeting precision. In addition, SmartBid 3.0’s unique “global learning” mechanism reduced the cold start learning cycle for new campaigns by 50%. This partnership enabled campaigns to achieve stable monetization from day one.

By utilizing SmartBid 3.0’s MaxCV mode, hipto’s campaigns achieved a dual breakthrough in both scale and efficiency. Data shows an immediate 32% uplift in monthly conversion volume and a threefold increase in lead volumes over the longer term, successfully expanding market share within a saturated vertical. Additionally, native ad CTR surpassed the industry benchmark by 53%, demonstrating the platform’s ability to precisely target high-intent users. Notably, even with a 48% increase in mobile budget allocation, CPA decreased by 2.6%, proving that volume scaling and margin preservation can coexist.

Leo Ye, Head of Partnerships at MediaGo, stated: “Winning the Les Cas d’Or Gold for Performance Marketing is a strong endorsement of MediaGo’s technical strength and localized service capabilities. We remain committed to a performance-driven, advertiser-centric approach, deepening our footprint in the French market to help advertisers break through growth bottlenecks in a saturated landscape.”

Looking ahead, MediaGo will continue to deepen its presence in Europe. With deep learning at its core, the platform aims to continuously enhance its native advertising capabilities and localized operations, delivering tangible value to global advertisers and empowering partners to achieve high-quality, sustainable business growth in complex market environments.

About MediaGo

MediaGo is a leading intelligent advertising platform. Based on deep learning algorithms, MediaGo empowers businesses of all scales, creating tangible value for companies. With 12 operational centers worldwide, MediaGo has successfully provided localized and comprehensive business growth services to over 10,000 partners.

Dandelion Civilization launches a Human Intelligence Platform to make talent risk visible before it becomes expensive

Published

on

By

New Human Intelligence Platform helps employers assess role fit, team dynamics, and early behavioral risk to avoid costly talent decisions.

AMSTERDAM, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dandelion Civilization today announced the launch of its Human Intelligence Platform at HR Tech Europe 2026, introducing a new approach to talent management and workforce decision-making, built around behavioral intelligence rather than instinct alone.

The launch addresses a problem many organizations already understand but still struggle to solve. Talent mis-matches are expensive, early misalignment is difficult to correct, and quality of hire remains hard to improve because the real consequences often appear months after a decision is made. Industry estimates frequently place the total cost of hiring a new employee at several times the position’s salary, especially when poor fit leads to replacement, lost productivity, and disruption.

While much of the HR technology market has focused on the hiring stage itself, Dandelion Civilization is taking a different route. The platform is designed to help employers understand how people are likely to perform in real conditions by revealing how they think, act, and interact across hiring, team development, and workforce risk.

At the core of the platform is a behavioral intelligence layer that creates continuous, evolving profiles of individuals and teams. Rather than relying only on CVs, interviews, or static questionnaires, Dandelion Civilization uses behavioral simulations to surface signals around decision making, collaboration, pressure response, and alignment. According to the company’s launch materials, the product is built around three core areas: hiring intelligence, team dynamics, and behavioral risk. It is designed to support decisions before day one, strengthen visibility into how individuals affect team performance, and identify patterns that may point to conflict, disengagement, or misalignment before those issues damage business outcomes.

“We are not creating another assessment tool,” said Dmitry Zaytsev, Founder and CEO of Dandelion Civilization. “We are building the infrastructure for better talent decisions. Companies often discover the true cost of misalignment too late, when trust weakens, performance slips, or the hiring process has to begin again. We want to make those signals visible earlier, when organizations can still act on them.”

The company says the platform is designed to fit into existing workflows without technical friction. Employers send a link, candidates complete an online simulation, and talent teams receive a decision-ready report. The launch deck states that the simulation takes around 20 to 40 minutes, requires no integration, and works in any browser.

While the platform begins with hiring, Dandelion Civilization is positioning the launch as the first step toward a broader layer of human capital intelligence that can support team design, talent development, and earlier visibility into people related risk over time.

About Dandelion Civilization
Dandelion Civilization is building a Human Intelligence Platform that helps organizations understand how people think, act, and interact across the employment lifecycle. Using behavioral simulations and digital profiling, the platform supports hiring, team development, and earlier visibility into workforce risk. Its launch materials describe the product as a system designed to reduce talent blind spots and reveal behavior beyond profiles.
