Towing companies — Automation for towing companies
Dispatch is on the radio when calls come in, invoices wait on mileage and wait time, and impound releases need the same papers every time. These are the parts software can take over, with the owner, dispatcher and yard manager still deciding on which truck goes, fee waivers and anything unusual on a call. 42 automations fit, each with an example and workflow written for towing companies.
