What GovTow is
GovTow is a cloud-based tow management and tracking system for government agencies and related participants. Dispatch can locate the nearest driver through smart logic or assign work by rotation, GPS proximity, required equipment, or zone, beat, and district. Dispatch records can include photos, video, signatures, and damage details, and route maps can be shared with appropriate users. Storage management covers vehicle intake, media and damage documentation, owner and lien-holder letters, fee calculations and collections, and release or hold tracking. The auction module handles scheduling, bidder registration, payments, bills of sale, scanning, and Zebra printing. Web portals let agencies, approved towing and storage providers, and the public follow a tow through retrieval or auction. GovTow serves law enforcement, government agencies, towing companies, private property owners, and vehicle owners. It supports Android, iOS, and web access, with a driver mobile app and GPS fleet tracking. Pricing is by custom quote.
