Towbook
Towbook is cloud-based software for towing, roadside, and impound operations. Its web system manages dispatching, invoicing, vehicle inventory, impounds, liens, and auctions. Dispatch workflows cover accepting and assigning calls, following job progress, and managing vehicles. Digital dispatching and email processing receive calls from listed motor clubs and organizations including AAA, Agero, Allstate, Geico, Progressive, and Tesla. GPS integrations include Azuga, DriverLocate, Samsara, US Fleet Tracking, Verizon Connect, and Webfleet; accounting connects to QuickBooks Desktop or Online. Drivers can attach geocoded photos, collect customer signatures, create damage reports, and send receipts by email or text. Android and iPhone apps are available, and the maker says they can be used on as many devices as desired at no extra fee. The trial lasts 30 days, includes the full feature suite, and requires no credit card. Plans start at $109/mo, with no free plan. Monthly completed-call limits vary by plan, and each additional 1,000 calls above a plan limit costs $149.
