AI for Towing

AI & automation for towing & roadside assistance operators.

Towing is a 24/7 dispatch-driven business where the operator who gets to the call first wins. Most independent operators we work with are constantly juggling motor club calls (AAA, Agero, Roadside Protect — low margin, high volume) against private cash calls (high margin, harder to capture). The wins in towing come from automating motor-club acceptance, capturing more private cash calls, and keeping a 24/7 operation from burning out the dispatcher.

Who this is for

The towing operators we work with

  • Independent tow operators with 2-15 trucks
  • Operators running motor-club contracts (AAA, Agero, ARS, Roadside Protect)
  • Heavy-duty + light-duty mixed operations
  • Towing + impound + recovery multi-line operators
Where you're losing money

The four highest-cost workflows in towing

Motor club calls require manual acceptance — slow click loses to a competitor in seconds
Cost: Motor club volume is the bread and butter — missing calls means lost recurring revenue from that contract
Private cash calls (higher margin) lost to whoever Google ranks first or answers the phone fastest
Cost: Private cash calls are 2-3x the margin of motor club; capturing more of them moves the bottom line significantly
Dispatcher burnout on 24/7 operations — one person can't do midnight to noon every day
Cost: Turnover + reliability gaps + bad customer experience during overnight calls
Equipment + driver location not visible in real time during a busy night
Cost: Dispatcher assigning calls blind — wrong truck to the wrong location wastes drive time
What we'd build for you

Three surgical tools that ship in weeks, not months

Build 1

Motor club auto-accept logic

Incoming motor club calls scored against active truck capacity, profitability threshold, and ETA. Auto-accept the ones that fit; surface the edge cases to dispatcher. Faster than human reaction.

Time
3-4 weeks
Price
$3,000-$6,500
Build 2

Private cash call intake + instant quote

Customer calls or texts → structured intake captures location, vehicle, situation → instant quote with ETA. Dispatcher only handles confirmations and exceptions.

Time
2-3 weeks
Price
$2,000-$4,500
Build 3

Live operations dashboard for 24/7 dispatch

Single view: active trucks, locations, current calls, pending requests, motor club queue. Dispatcher decisions go from 'best guess' to 'best informed.'

Time
3-5 weeks
Price
$3,500-$8,000
Stack we typically build around

We integrate — we don't replace

  • TOPS, Dispatch Anywhere, or Beacon Software
  • Motor club platforms (Agero, Allstate, AAA each have their own)
  • Twilio + 24/7 call answering
  • QuickBooks Online
  • Driver mobile apps + ELDs
Frequently asked

Common questions from towing owners

Will you replace TOPS or Dispatch Anywhere?
No. Those handle the core dispatch and accounting workflow. We build around them — motor club acceptance logic, private cash intake, and the live operations view.
Can you integrate with motor club platforms?
Some have APIs (Agero, Roadside Protect for certain integrations); others require browser-based interaction we'd automate carefully. We scope this per platform during the audit.
What about impound + recovery work?
Yes — different operational shape (less time-pressured, more inventory and lot management) but adjacent. We engage on the impound side separately from the towing dispatch side.
How do you handle 24/7 operational needs?
We build the automation to handle the volume an overnight dispatcher can't — auto-accept, structured intake, escalation rules. Then a single dispatcher can cover what previously needed two.
