Everything You Need to Run a Modern Towing Operation

From the first call to final invoice — TowBridge handles dispatch, tracking, inspections, billing, and reporting in one integrated platform.

Dispatch & Operations

Real-Time Dispatch Board

Kanban-style board with Waiting, Active, Completed, Scheduled, and Cancelled columns. Drag-and-drop job cards with priority levels, vehicle info, and live status updates.

Smart Job Assignment

Assign the right driver based on proximity, truck type, and availability. One-click dispatch with instant push notification to the driver's mobile app.

Live Fleet Map

See every driver on a real-time map with GPS positions updating every 30 seconds. Click any marker to view driver details, current job, and ETA.

Multi-Branch Operations

Manage multiple locations from a single account. Branch-scoped access control ensures dispatchers only see jobs and drivers in their branch.

Job Status Flow

Automated 7-step workflow: Waiting → Dispatched → En Route → On Scene → Towing → Destination Arrival → Completed. Each transition is timestamped and logged.

Follow-Up Queue

Jobs requiring attention automatically surface in the follow-up queue. Track payment status, missing info, and customer callbacks in one place.

Driver Mobile App

Cross-Platform App

Native-quality iOS and Android app built with Flutter. Drivers get push notifications for new jobs, can accept/decline, and navigate directly to pickup locations.

Turn-by-Turn Navigation

Deep integration with Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze. One tap to launch navigation to pickup or dropoff — driver chooses their preferred mapping app.

Digital Inspections

Pre-trip and post-trip inspections with customizable templates. Photo capture, pass/fail toggles, odometer readings, and GPS-stamped submissions.

In-App Chat

Real-time messaging between drivers and dispatch. No more missed radio calls — full conversation history, read receipts, and push notifications.

Job History & Earnings

Drivers can view their completed jobs, daily earnings, and performance metrics right from the app. Full transparency on every assignment.

Offline Support

Core features work without internet. Inspections and status updates sync automatically when connectivity is restored — critical for rural and highway tows.

Inspections & Compliance

Custom Templates

Build inspection checklists tailored to your fleet — pre-trip, post-trip, DOT compliance, or equipment-specific. Support for pass/fail, text, number, and photo item types.

Photo Evidence

Capture timestamped, GPS-tagged photos during inspections. Photos are stored securely in the cloud and linked to the vehicle and inspection record.

Compliance Dashboard

At-a-glance view of which vehicles have current inspections, which are overdue, and which have flagged items. Never miss a DOT audit again.

Automated Alerts

SMS and email notifications when inspections are due, overdue, or have critical failures. Escalation paths for safety-critical items.

Invoicing & Payments

Auto-Generated Invoices

Invoices are created automatically from completed jobs with line items, tax calculations, surcharges, and discounts. No double entry — data flows from dispatch to billing.

Invoice Lifecycle

Full status tracking: Draft → Issued → Partially Paid → Paid → Void. Automated follow-ups for overdue invoices with configurable reminder schedules.

Custom Pricing Rules

Set up rate cards by service type, distance, time of day, and vehicle class. After-hours surcharges, storage fees, and mileage rates calculated automatically.

Payment Tracking

Record payments against invoices with support for partial payments, multiple payment methods, and automatic balance calculations.

Fleet & Asset Management

Vehicle Registry

Complete database of your tow trucks with unit numbers, VIN, make/model, capacity, and maintenance history. Track which driver is assigned to which vehicle.

GPS Tracking (No Hardware)

Real-time driver locations using the mobile app — no aftermarket GPS devices needed. Location history, speed, and route playback for every shift.

VIN Decoder

Instantly decode any VIN using the NHTSA database. Auto-populate year, make, model, and vehicle specs when creating jobs — eliminates manual data entry errors.

Impound Management

Track impounded vehicles from intake to release. Storage fee calculations, owner notifications, lien processing, and release authorization workflows.

Reports & Analytics

Revenue Dashboard

Daily, weekly, and monthly revenue trends with breakdown by branch, driver, service type, and payment status. Spot trends and optimize operations.

Job Volume Analytics

Track job counts by status, priority, type, and time period. Identify peak hours, busiest locations, and seasonal patterns to staff accordingly.

Driver Performance

Response times, completion rates, inspection compliance, and customer feedback per driver. Data-driven decisions on staffing and training.

Fleet Utilization

See which trucks are active, idle, or in maintenance. Optimize your fleet size and identify underutilized assets costing you money.

Incident Intelligence

Live Incident Feed

Real-time road incidents from 15+ official sources — provincial 511 traveller feeds, police and fire dispatch, and municipal traffic operations — aggregated into one live map updated continuously.

Tow Opportunity Detection

Accidents, breakdowns, and abandoned vehicles are auto-classified as tow opportunities and surfaced first. Never miss a revenue-generating call in your service area.

Severity-Based Prioritization

Incidents are ranked by severity — CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW. Color-coded map pins with animated rings for critical events so dispatchers act on what matters most.

Smart Deduplication

When multiple sources report the same incident, TowBridge merges them automatically — combining details, upgrading severity, and tracking every source for accuracy.

One-Click Job Creation

Create a tow job directly from any incident — location, coordinates, description, and severity are pre-filled. Dispatch in seconds, not minutes.

Driver Push Alerts

Instantly push incident alerts to drivers near the scene. Real-time notifications with location details so your team is first on site.

Motor Club

Automated Job Creation

The moment a motor club dispatches a call, a job appears in TowBridge automatically — no manual entry, no copy-paste. Member details, location, and service type are already filled in.

Unified Job Queue

Motor club calls land in the same job queue as your regular dispatch — no switching apps, no manual copy-paste. One screen runs your entire operation.

Instant Driver Assignment

Assign a motor club call to the nearest available driver in one click. Push notifications hit the driver's phone immediately with all job details.

Multi-Club Support

Work with multiple motor clubs at once. Tag jobs by club, filter your queue by source, and keep performance metrics separate per partner.

Automated Invoicing

When the job closes, an invoice is generated automatically — motor club rates, surcharges, and tax all calculated. No manual entry required.

Full Job Audit Trail

Every motor club job follows the same status flow with complete timestamps. Full accountability for every call — accepted, assigned, completed, and invoiced.

Platform & Security

Role-Based Access Control

Six built-in roles: Owner, Admin, Manager, Dispatcher, Driver, and Billing. Granular permissions ensure everyone sees only what they need.

Multi-Tenant Architecture

Enterprise-grade tenant isolation. Your data is completely separated from other companies. SOC 2 aligned infrastructure on AWS.

SMS & Email Notifications

Automated alerts via AWS SES and SNS. Job assignments, status changes, invoice reminders, and inspection alerts — delivered instantly.
