TowBridge
Real-Time Dispatch

The Nerve Center of Your Towing Operation

A Kanban-style dispatch board with dual view modes, 7-step status tracking, VIN decoding, smart driver assignment, and real-time push notifications — everything a dispatcher needs in one screen.

Key Capabilities

Built for Speed and Accuracy

Kanban Dispatch Board

Five-column board — Waiting, Active, Completed, Scheduled, and Cancelled — with drag-and-drop job cards and real-time status updates.

Dual View Modes

Switch between list view for quick scanning and board view for visual workflow management. Each adapts to your dispatching style.

VIN Decoder Integration

Paste a VIN and the system instantly looks up the vehicle — year, make, model, body class, drive type, and fuel type are filled in automatically. Zero manual data entry.

Smart Driver Assignment

Assign drivers based on proximity, truck type, and availability. One-click dispatch with instant push notifications.

Navigation Integration

Drivers launch Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze with one tap for turn-by-turn navigation to pickup and dropoff locations.

Financial Status Tracking

Separate payment status (Pending, Paid, Uncollectable) from job status. Follow-up queue surfaces unpaid jobs automatically.

How It Works

From Call to Completion in Four Steps

01

Call Comes In

Dispatcher creates a job with caller info, vehicle details, pickup and dropoff addresses. VIN decoder auto-fills vehicle specs.

02

Assign & Dispatch

Select the right driver based on proximity and truck type. One-click dispatch sends a push notification to the driver's mobile app.

03

Track in Real Time

Monitor the 7-step status flow from Waiting through Dispatched, En Route, On Scene, Towing, Destination Arrival, to Completed.

04

Close & Invoice

Completed jobs flow to invoicing. Financial status is tracked separately so no job falls through the cracks.

Detailed Features

Every Detail Covered

7-Step Status Flow

WAITING, DISPATCHED, EN_ROUTE, ON_SCENE, TOWING, DESTINATION_ARRIVAL, COMPLETED — each transition timestamped and logged.

Job Types

Live Call for immediate dispatch, Scheduled Call for future bookings, and Quote for estimates — all managed from one board.

Priority Levels

Normal, High, and Urgent priorities with visual indicators. Urgent jobs surface to the top of the dispatch queue.

Retow Support

Caller & Vehicle Info

Capture caller name, phone, vehicle details, body shop info, and both pickup and dropoff addresses in one form.

Push Notifications

Drivers receive instant push notifications on job assignment. Accept or decline right from their mobile device.

Follow-Up Queue

Jobs requiring attention — unpaid invoices, missing info, customer callbacks — automatically surface for dispatcher review.

Cancel From Any State

Jobs can be cancelled at any point in the workflow. Cancellation reason is captured and the audit trail is preserved.
