    and sends the data to any of the above third parties specified by the dealership.


    "When adding new Vehicle Data Transfer partners, we look at where our clients want their inventory listed, instead of creating exclusive arrangements with companies who may sound impressive, but may not meet the needs of our clients," said Trey Hiers, senior marketing manager of UCS. "Our goal is to help them meet their objectives."
