Authenticom

Authenticom (NADA Vault / DealerVault) — A dealer-permissioned data syndication hub rather than a data panel. NADA Vault connects directly into a dealership's DMS — the authoritative system of record for inventory, sales, F&I and service — aggregates it under the dealer's control, and distributes customised feeds to thousands of vendors, customers and manufacturers. What accumulates at the hub is not a product the company sells but a byproduct of operating it: a normalised multi-DMS ingestion layer spanning thousands of dealerships, a feed-connection graph showing which dealer shares which da…

Authenticom offers (Alternative, Reference, Price) — Not published as records. Bounded structurally: thousands of dealerships each transmitting full inventory plus sales and possibly F&I and service data to multiple vendors, at dealer-chosen cadence up to real time. That implies a very high daily transaction volume crossing the hub — plausibly hundreds of millions of record transmissions per year across the dealer base — but almost all of it is transient pass-through that is delivered onward and not retained centrally. Request further research on whether any central retention exists or whether every feed is dealer-side only..

Legitimate buyer uses are mostly access-and-assurance rather than model training: reaching dealer-authorised DMS-grade inventory and sales data at scale without building individual DMS integrations; vendor data-provenance and consent verification (who is entitled to send this data); benchmarking data quality and completeness across DMS platforms; and market-mix analysis across a dealer population that is broadly representative because participation runs through a national dealer association. For modelling work, the value is the quality of DMS-derived labels rather than breadth of any dataset the hub will release.
