Built for: Tow companies looking for dispatch software that reduces response times and improves customer visibility.
If you run Tow Truck Dispatch operations, you already know the hardest part is not creating a plan. It is staying in control when the plan breaks.
You are probably dealing with:
- Calls come in unpredictable bursts
- Dispatch struggles to pick the best truck quickly

Lynxo gives you a real-time command center for route-based work: live map, route edits, realistic ETAs, proof, and the analytics to lower cost per stop.
What you get on day one
- A dispatch workflow your team can follow without spreadsheets
- A driver app that keeps work moving even when connectivity drops
- Proof and timestamps that reduce disputes, callbacks, and write-offs
Common challenges in Tow Truck Dispatch
- Calls come in unpredictable bursts
- Dispatch struggles to pick the best truck quickly
- Customers call repeatedly for ETAs
- Proof-of-service is inconsistent (photos, timestamps)
- Traffic and incidents cause cascading delays
KPIs to improve
- Time to dispatch
- ETA accuracy
- On-scene time
- Jobs per truck-day
- Cancellation rate
In the real world
These are the moments where operations either stay in control or the day turns into firefighting.
Two urgent calls at once
Situation
Multiple incidents happen close together.
What breaks
Dispatch assigns suboptimally; response times suffer.
How Lynxo responds

Improves
Dispute resolution · Fewer chargebacks · Trust
Typical workflow
- 1
Intake + validation
Import service calls via API; validate addresses, time windows, and required fields before dispatch.
- 2
Dispatch planning
Assign work to the right crews and vehicles based on zone, capacity, skills, and SLA urgency.
- 3
Route optimization
Build feasible sequences with realistic service times and constraints (windows, pickups/returns, access rules).
- 4
Execution (driver app)
Drivers run the plan with offline support; dispatch can resequence, reassign, or split routes live.
- 5
Proof + exceptions
Capture photos/signatures/GPS, and track exceptions with reasons so disputes and compliance are covered.
- 6
Analytics + improvement
Measure on-time and cost-per-stop by zone/crew; use the data to tighten windows and reduce rework.
Constraints to design for
Urgency
Response time is the main product; dispatch speed matters.
Truck capability
Not all trucks can do all jobs.
Live changes
Jobs cancel; new jobs appear constantly.
Proof
Photos/timestamps help with disputes and insurance.
