Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes associating a pre-existing dataset to one or more physical entities via association with an encoded token; monitoring interactions between the entity and the token; providing data from the dataset to the entity based on that monitoring; and updating the dataset with new or modified data from the entity by referencing the encoded token. In another embodiment, a method includes transmitting a vehicle retrieval request to a service provider including a delivery location; generating a listing event based on transmission of retrieval request; and transmitting a dataset back to retrieval requester.
