About Tow Deputy

Tow Deputy is an AI-powered dispatcher and receptionist designed specifically for towing and roadside assistance businesses. It answers inbound calls 24/7, classifying each call and either creating a job, escalating to a human, or closing the call. The system quotes exact prices based on configured rate cards, including zone-based hook-up fees, mileage, vehicle types, and after-hours surcharges, without requiring callbacks. It collects vehicle and location details, dispatches the closest driver via SMS and a driver web app, and can process secure SMS deposits. The finished job details are texted to both the dispatcher and the driver for manual entry into existing dispatch software like Towbook or Omadi. It targets one-truck owner-operators, small fleets of 2–10 trucks, and roadside-assistance operators, handling simultaneous calls and providing a summary when the owner-operator is unavailable.
