Towing Dispatch Software
Real-Time Dispatch Management & Tow Truck Coordination for Growing Fleets
In short, Towing Dispatch Software is the heartbeat of daily towing operations. Because every second matters — from receiving a call to assigning a driver and tracking job completion — VTS Systems helps towing companies manage dispatch, improve routes, speed up response times, and smoothly connect with storage and impound workflows.
In addition, this solution is part of a complete Towing & Storage Software ecosystem. Therefore, every tow is tracked from initial call to final vehicle release.
The Digital Dispatch Module within VTS CLOUD gives dispatchers real-time job assignment, driver tracking, and tow intake logging — with enhanced address recognition and location checks to reduce mileage and pricing errors.
Drivers use iOS and Android mobile apps to accept jobs, update status, and complete intake in the field. GPS Telematics connection (TomTom and more) adds live truck tracking. Motor Club downloads and automated A/R billing are available as expansion modules.
Explore VTS CLOUD packages — modular cloud-based towing and VSF software hosted on Microsoft Azure.
Cloud dispatch means your team is not chained to one desk. Assign calls from a laptop in the office, monitor driver status on a phone in the yard, and keep every job in one live queue on VTS CLOUD. No local install — secure browser access hosted on Microsoft Azure.
In short, Towing Dispatch Software is a shared digital platform that helps towing companies receive and manage incoming tow requests, assign drivers and vehicles in real time, track job progress and completion, and record vehicle intake details. It also connects directly with Storage Lot Management and impound tracking workflows.
It also replaces manual dispatch methods such as phone calls, whiteboards, and spreadsheets with an organized, automated system.
