A data
provider is a company that sends or exports VIN decoded,
pre-owned vehicle data feeds to UnityWorks! Media in a specific
format using a defined file structure on a specific

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.
The process
