HomeNet and UnityWorks! Media Team Up to Provide Streaming Video for Mercedes-Benz Dealers

March 14th, 2007

HomeNet, Inc. announced today that the automotive technology provider has partnered with UnityWorks! Media, a leading provider of web video advertising services for automotive dealerships. HomeNet will now offer the Auto Walkaround streaming video product to Mercedes-Benz dealerships as an optional add-on to the Inventory Online (IOL) marketing suite.

“As pioneers in introducing web video advertising services to automotive dealers, we have encountered some difficulties effectively displaying the video content with certain web providers,” commented UnityWorks Media’s Phil Sura, VP Automotive Division. “HomeNet’s technology has allowed us to easily help those dealers add video content to their websites in a seamless, cost-effective manner.”

HomeNet was awarded an exclusive partnership with Mercedes-Benz in November 2005 to provide daily automated inventory updates from IOL to the dealers’ corporate websites. Auto Walkaround, a branded streaming video presentation for new and pre-owned inventory, will now become an optional add-on for these dealers.

“We anticipate the demand for streaming video on dealership websites to continue to grow,” stated Homenet CEO Jesse Biter. “HomeNet has received very positive feedback from our customers who have used Auto Walkaround. We are pleased to join forces with UnityWorks! Media and look forward to providing another value-added product for our customers.”
