CrankWheel Expands Sales Enablement Platform to Unify Remote Selling Workflows

New capabilities integrate screen sharing, consent capture, and e-signatures to help phone-based sales teams close more deals

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CrankWheel, a provider of instant, no-download screen sharing and sales enablement tools for phone-based sales teams, today announced a continued expansion of its sales enablement platform, bringing together the full set of capabilities reps need to present, guide, capture consent, record, and follow up, all from a single workflow. The expanded platform is designed to help reps turn more live conversations into completed applications, signed agreements, and closed deals.

For years, remote selling meant little more than basic screen sharing. But the demands on today’s sales teams have grown well beyond simply showing a screen. Reps now need to guide buyers through forms, capture compliant consent, complete signatures, and stay engaged with prospects before, during, and after the call. CrankWheel’s expanded platform unifies these moments, removing friction for the customer while giving reps the tools to move faster.

“Remote selling has moved far beyond basic screen sharing,” said Birta Bjargardottir, COO of CrankWheel. “Today’s sales teams need to present, guide, capture consent, complete forms, and follow up with buyers in a way that feels simple for the customer and powerful for the rep. CrankWheel brings those moments together in one workflow, helping teams turn more conversations into completed applications, signed agreements, and closed deals.”

At the foundation of the platform is CrankWheel’s instant, no-download screen sharing. Reps send a text or email link, and prospects view the rep’s screen in seconds. This works across any device, with no apps to install or accounts to create. From there, remote control allows reps to fill in forms while the client watches, or hand control to the client for key fields, turning passive viewing into an assisted buying experience. Secure boundaries keep the process compliant, limiting control to a single browser tab or selected area and ending it the moment the presenter locks the screen or changes focus.

The expanded platform also strengthens CrankWheel’s position in regulated industries. Reps can capture Affordable Care Act (ACA) consent and attestation forms during a screen share, with audit-trail data including IP address, phone number, user agent, and timestamps. Electronic signatures (e-signatures) inside a session support telephone sales across health and life insurance, solar, and digital marketing.

Beyond the live call, teams can create screencasts, webcam captures, and meeting recordings, send them as clickable previews, and track playback and engagement. Engagement monitoring lets reps see whether prospects are paying attention so they can adjust in real time. And post-meeting redirects guide viewers to the right next step, whether that’s leaving a review, exploring an upsell, or completing a purchase.

Trusted by more than 50,000 users and rated 4.9 on G2, Capterra, and GetApp, CrankWheel continues to help phone-based teams sell more and troubleshoot less.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is sales enablement software for phone-based sales teams?

Sales enablement software helps phone-based sales teams present information, guide customers through applications, capture consent, collect electronic signatures, and follow up after conversations. These tools are designed to reduce friction during the buying process and help sales reps move prospects from an initial conversation to a completed application or signed agreement more efficiently.

How can sales reps help customers complete forms remotely?

Many organizations use assisted selling tools that allow sales reps to guide customers through applications and forms in real time. Depending on the solution, reps can share their screen, fill in information while the customer watches, or provide limited remote control so customers can complete specific fields themselves. This approach can reduce errors, improve completion rates, and create a more guided customer experience.

How does CrankWheel’s instant, no-download screen sharing work?

CrankWheel says reps send a text or email link, and prospects can view the rep’s screen in seconds on any device. No apps or accounts are required, and reps can use remote control to fill in forms while the client watches or hand control to the client for key fields.

What compliance features does CrankWheel offer for regulated industries?

CrankWheel says reps can capture Affordable Care Act (ACA) consent and attestation forms during a screen share. The session can also include audit-trail data such as IP address, phone number, user agent, and timestamps, and it supports electronic signatures for telephone sales.

dxFeed Adds Order Imbalance Data for Nasdaq TotalView

Published

on

By

New event type in dxFeed’s QD model gives trading firms a structured, real-time view into supply and demand dynamics ahead of Nasdaq’s opening and closing auctions.

NEW YORK, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — dxFeed, a global provider of market data and financial technology solutions, announced Order Imbalance data support for Nasdaq TotalView. The addition gives trading firms direct access to one of the few data types that reveals real demand and supply imbalances before an auction clears — a rare window into aggregate market intent at the most critical points of the trading day.

Opening and closing auctions concentrate a disproportionate share of daily volume and anchor the reference prices that flow across the market. Yet for most participants, the direction and magnitude of an auction only become clear after the cross. Order Imbalance data changes that: it shows the difference between buy and sell interest at a given reference price, the number of paired shares eligible to execute, and indicative auction prices — updated in real time as order entry progresses.

For High-Frequency Trading (HFT) firms, market makers, and execution algorithms, this translates directly into edge. Order Imbalance data enables traders to anticipate where a large institutional flow is positioned, identify short-term price pressure before it appears in the tape, gauge unmatched volume still seeking liquidity, and estimate where auction price is likely to clear. That means the ability to reprice quotes ahead of the cross, hedge exposure, participate intelligently in closing and opening flow, or extract alpha from a strong imbalance signal — rather than reacting after the fact.

Within dxFeed’s offering, Order Imbalance has been added as a native event type in the QD model of market events — the same framework clients use to consume quotes, trades, and other market data across feeds. There is no separate integration path: firms get auction insight directly alongside the data they already process.

“Order Imbalance data addresses a part of the trading day where timing and information matter most. Adding it as a native event type in our QD model lets clients integrate auction insight directly into their existing workflows — without any additional complexity,” said Stepan Bolshakov, Managing Director at dxFeed.

Level Up Math Launches K-8 Adaptive Platform as 1.5 Million Eighth Graders Lack Basic Math Skills

Published

on

By

A free assessment, mastery-based practice, and plain-language parent reports. At a fraction of the cost of tutoring chains.

AUSTIN, Texas, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Playful Digits today announced the launch of Level Up Math, an adaptive K-8 math practice platform that helps parents find and fix their child’s math gaps before high school exposes them.

On the 2024 Nation’s Report Card, 39 percent of US eighth graders scored below NAEP Basic in math, over 1.5 million students heading into high school without the foundations algebra demands. Yet nearly nine in ten parents believe their child is on track.

Level Up Math closes that awareness gap. It begins with a free assessment across five Common Core domains, then turns the results into a plain-language parent report that names the two or three skills to fix first, often a grade or two behind the child’s current schoolwork.

“Almost no child is genuinely bad at math,” said Mihai Seceleanu, founder of Level Up Math. “Usually a foundation went shaky a year or two earlier. Finding it is detective work, and rebuilding takes structured practice across the connected skills, not just more drills on the same topic.”

Practice uses spaced repetition, a research-backed technique for long-term memory, revisiting each skill across days, weeks, and months. Every problem comes with a worked solution that names the key insight and the common mistakes, often tailored to the exact wrong answer a child picked.

There are no leaderboards, no streak shaming, no ads to children, and no AI training on child data. Instead, a parent and child can set a quest the child works toward, with a reward at the end, a bike upgrade or a fun night out, which the company says does wonders for motivation. Level Up Math is COPPA-aligned and GDPR-compliant, collecting only a child’s first name and grade.

Early users put it plainly. A math teacher in Montana reports the assessment results “correctly identify gaps from previous years,” and a Level Up parent in Ohio calls the report “a helpful map for what to practice next.”

Getting started is free: the initial assessment and parent report cost nothing, no credit card. Parents who want to continue pay $14.99 per month per child, with a 33 percent sibling discount and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Level Up Math covers more than 2,000 skills aligned to the Common Core across grades K through 8, plus dozens of interactive tools, from visually rich early-grade scenes to algebra, geometry, and statistics builders for older students.

About Level Up Math

Level Up Math is an adaptive K-8 math practice platform that begins with a free assessment and builds a personalized practice path one mastered skill at a time.
