AI-Powered Dispatch & Automation for Modern Towing Fleets
Stop losing $200 calls to competitors because your dispatch was busy. We build custom AI agents that integrate directly with TowBook and TOPS to handle intake, ETAs, and motor club updates 24/7.
The towing industry is a high-stakes, first-to-respond game where a missed call or a 5-minute delay in ETA communication results in a lost $75-$200 job. Dispatchers are often overwhelmed by simultaneous calls from stranded motorists, law enforcement, and motor clubs like AAA or Geico, leading to data entry errors in systems like TowBook or TOPS. This friction often results in 'ghost' calls where drivers are dispatched to the wrong location or for the wrong equipment type (flatbed vs. wheel-lift).
Furthermore, compliance with state-specific non-consensual tow laws and storage lien timelines adds a heavy administrative burden. Missing a 72-hour notice window or failing to document vehicle condition correctly can lead to legal liabilities and lost storage fees. Read Laboratories implements AI solutions that bridge the gap between your phone lines and your management software, ensuring that every data point—from VIN capture to storage lot entry—is handled with 100% accuracy and zero latency.
Problems We Solve
High Call Abandonment Rates
Our AI voice agents handle overflow calls during peak hours or accidents, ensuring every stranded motorist is greeted instantly and their location data is captured before they call a competitor.
Manual Motor Club Data Entry
Automate the transfer of digital dispatch data from portals like Geico, Agero, and AAA directly into TowBook, eliminating the need for dispatchers to re-type VINs and addresses.
Inaccurate ETA Communication
AI-driven route analysis calculates realistic ETAs based on real-time traffic and driver location, sending automated SMS updates to customers to reduce 'where is my truck' callback volume.
Storage Lien Compliance Risks
Automated monitoring of storage lot inventory that triggers lien notice generation and certified mail workflows based on state-specific statutory timelines, preventing lost revenue on abandoned vehicles.
Driver Dispatch Inefficiency
Smart logic that analyzes truck equipment (medium duty vs. heavy duty) and driver hours-of-service to suggest the most profitable dispatch, reducing deadhead miles and fuel costs.
What You Get
TowBook & TOPS API Sync
Deep integration that allows AI agents to create calls, update statuses, and upload photos directly into your existing management software.
AI Voice Dispatcher

VIN & Damage Photo Analysis
Computer vision models that automatically verify VINs and document pre-existing vehicle damage from driver-uploaded photos to protect against false claims.
Lien Process Automation
Automated tracking of vehicle intake dates with scheduled triggers for DMV lookups and registered owner notifications as required by DOT regulations.
What It Costs
Setup
$5,000 - $25,000

ROI Example
By capturing just 3 additional $150 roadside calls per week and reducing dispatcher administrative time by 20 hours per month, most fleets see a full ROI within 90-120 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this replace my current dispatchers?
No. It acts as a force multiplier for your dispatchers. It handles the repetitive data entry and 'where is my truck' calls, allowing your team to focus on complex logistics and high-priority law enforcement calls.
Can it handle night shift calls?
Yes, our AI agents operate 24/7/365. They can intake calls at 3:00 AM, populate the dispatch software, and even alert an on-call driver via a high-priority notification if the call meets your criteria.
How does it integrate with TowBook?
We utilize TowBook's API and webhook system to push and pull data in real-time. This ensures that when an AI takes a call, it appears instantly on your dispatch board just like a manual entry.
Will it work for heavy-duty recovery calls?
For complex heavy-duty recoveries, the AI is trained to identify the scope of work and immediately escalate the call to a human specialist while still capturing the initial location and contact data.
Can it help with non-consensual tow paperwork?
Yes. The AI can be programmed to verify that all required fields—such as the officer's badge number and the reason for the tow—are documented before the call can be closed in the system.
How long does implementation take?
A standard integration for a mid-sized fleet typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from initial strategy to go-live, including testing and driver training.
