RouteDesk
Calls, jobs and trucks on one map - drivers get the job on their phone, customers get a signed invoice.
Tow Truck Dispatch Software with Live Map and Driver App
RouteDesk puts the phone, the map and your drivers in one system. The dispatcher opens a job while still on the call, sees which truck is closest and assigns it in one click. The driver gets the address, navigation and status buttons on their phone, then takes vehicle photos and the customer signature - the invoice is ready the moment the job is done.

FAQ
How much does custom dispatch software cost?
How much does custom dispatch software cost?

What are the monthly hosting costs?
What are the monthly hosting costs?
For a typical company with around ten trucks, hosting runs €20-60 a month. Larger fleets with GPS devices and SMS are €60-150. Maintenance and new features are by agreement - hourly or a monthly plan.
Does the map show real GPS positions?
Does the map show real GPS positions?
Yes. Location can come from the driver phone (no extra hardware) or from GPS units already in your trucks, if they offer an API. In the demo, vehicle movement is simulated.
What if a driver loses signal?
What if a driver loses signal?
The driver app keeps photos, signatures and status changes and syncs them as soon as the signal is back. The job stays open on the phone offline.

Yes. A common first phase is the live board, jobs and the driver app in about 7 weeks. Reports, phone integration and SMS are added later without rebuilding what already works.
