Our process
Data Acquisition
We gather our information from various sources like NHTSA documents and web auctions.
We collect the data in our databases, validate them against each other, then redistribute it to our partners. This tedious and lengthy process often requires working with unstructured text documents done by a skilled data team.
The key benefit of this process is fresh and verified data used in other products.
Data redistribution
The data in our database is fed into a range of products:
Vinpower Series
Data integrated software libraries for .NET and JVM allowing you to decode VINs “on-premises” using programming languages and operating platforms of your choice.
Vinlink Cloud API
Provides structured, up-to-date reports on VIN based queries. Uses industry standards like XML and SOAP.
Special tools
We provide special tools and data formats
Squish VIN tables
Tables keyed by VIN prefixes with basic information like year, make, model, trim, etc.
YMMT tables
Basic attribute tables used for custom data processing and mapping.
VIN Generator
A reverse process tool to generate sample VIN numbers. Useful for automatic testing.
