Data Provider to UnityWorks! Media
A data provider is a company that sends or exports VIN
decoded, pre-owned vehicle data feeds to UnityWorks! Media in a specific format

The data export contains all of the information needed by
UnityWorks! Media to create a unique automotive vehicle video for each of the
included vehicles that meet the dealership criteria.
