In their own words
Autura
Autura provides towing management and unclaimed vehicle auction software for public safety agencies and towing and recovery businesses. Its towing system combines dispatch, billing, lot management, and records. Aries Dispatch routes tow requests according to agency rotation rules and shows live status and estimated arrival times. Aries Impound handles government vehicle records, storage, holds, fees, liens, notifications, and payments. The Impound Express app supports VIN scans, QR or barcode record lookup, and timestamped condition photos on iOS and Android. Autura Marketplace links towing companies, impound lots, and municipal agencies selling unclaimed vehicles with verified buyers nationwide. Listings include condition fields and images, but vehicles are sold as-is and condition varies. Integrations can include QuickBooks, GPS and fleet tracking providers, motor clubs, and Autura products. TowPay uses Stripe infrastructure and states that transactions have PCI DSS Level 1 compliance and bank-grade encryption. Aries runs exclusively on AWS GovCloud (US). Free options include Marketplace buyer and seller accounts and TraxeroGO dispatch software for owner-operators.
