What we offer
We have two major areas of operations:
- Data Acquisition –
We gather our information from various sources like NHTSA documents and web auctions. Collected in our databases, we validate them against each other and redistribute them to our partners. Working with these unstructured text documents is done by our skilled data team, to provide trustworthy quality data to our clientele. This process is proven quality control ensuring all the data we provide is fresh, tested, and accurate.
- Data Redistribution – Once our data is tested, it is then added to our database, to be distributed to our programs.
- VinPOWER – Data integrated software libraries allow on premises VIN decoding by utilizing already existing operating systems.
- Vinlink – Web-based VIN decoding provides, secure, structured, up-to-date reports quickly anywhere there is internet access.
- Year Make Model Tables- Basic attribute tables are used for custom data processing and mapping
- VINGenerator- A reverse process tool to generate simple VIN’s. Especially, beneficial for automatic testing situations.
- SquishVIN Tables- Tables keyed by VIN with basic information such as Make, Model, Year, Trim, etc. Logged by special UVID (Or Squished) VIN identifiers.
Data Acquisition
Every year there are 30-40 new car models offered in the US. They have various trims, options and numerous possible configurations. It can be a difficult job to collect and catalog it. Utilizing our VIN decoding products saves time and energy allowing a streamlined approach to VIN Data usage.
VinLINK webAPI
Vinlink is built on industrial standards like SOAP, XML to query data based on VINs. It’s the easiest way to incorporate automotive data into your application. Common use cases are business workflows used by finance and insurance company, automotive e-commerce, auctions, etc. By using a standard API you are free to use any programming tool or platform – .NET, Java, Python, Ruby, NodeJS or PHP.
VinPOWER decoder
Customers requiring “on-premise” capabilities, or wishing to incorporate automotive data in their products often use our VinPOWER line of software & data libraries. We pack our knowledge and data into convenient libraries based on .NET and Java giving you freedom of use it in your products on various software and operating platforms.
Squish VIN tables
Do you need custom logic or custom treatment of automotive data?
VinLINK and VinPOWER use compressed databases optimized for high query throughput. If you have custom requirements for these data you may be interested in our squished VIN tables. They contain expanded data in a consumable form.
UVID
Does your product require custom data mapping?
Unique Vehicle Identification is a short representation of VIN. It’s much easier to key your data on a simple number instead of character string. UVID does not represent a single vehicle, it’s a group of vehicles with varying VINs but otherwise sharing the same attributes. It can be used as a primary key in data storage, but also in information exchange. It is “depersonalized”, i.e. it does not describe any real world car.
