towyardIQ runs your dispatch, your yard, your lien sales, and your compliance in one console. Built by the team that has been writing tow management software since 2017, with the lien rules for all 50 states already loaded in.
Free to get started · set up your yard in minutes · no setup call required.
Compiling, maintaining, and updating fifty states' lien-sale rules is years of work — notice timing, mailing requirements, sale windows, statutory forms, court-vs-DMV thresholds. We did it once. So you don't have to. Pick your state and see what's encoded.
Every artifact your office prints, mails, files, or hands across the counter — auto-generated, state-correct, and ready to send.

Your dispatchers and drivers don't sit at desks. towyardIQ is a true PWA — one tap to install on iOS or Android, full-screen, offline-capable, and indistinguishable from a native app. The same console runs the dispatcher's phone, the yard clerk's tablet, and the GM's monitor.
Lien deadlines, fee math, dispatch matching, compliance checks — deterministic logic running 24/7. Same input, same output, every time. This is not AI. It's automation done right.
Reading a VIN off a glare-streaked dashboard photo. Predicting an auction hammer price. Skip-tracing an owner across DMV records. We use AI where AI is honestly the right tool — and we tell you exactly which models do what.
State-specific notice timing, mailing requirements, and sale-eligibility windows for all 50 states. Auto-generates notices the day a vehicle qualifies.
Assigns calls by truck capability, distance, hours-of-service, and equipment match. Heavy-duty calls never go to a flatbed. Re-balances mid-shift as ETAs drift.
Daily / hourly / indoor / outdoor rates. Holiday and after-hours surcharges. State-by-state max-cap enforcement. Itemized invoices on release.
Watches CDL endorsements, DOT inspections, insurance certificates, and equipment recalls. Alerts before a violation, not after.
Priority-based ETA targets, police-rotation logging, breach detection, automatic supervisor escalation at 75% and 100%.
Configurable grace periods, flat or %-based fees, jurisdiction-specific limits. Inspects existing items to prevent double-charging. Full audit trail.
Reads VINs off dashboards, door jambs, and engine bays. Reads plates from any angle. Handles glare, rain, low-light, and partial-occlusion shots.
Labels each photo with pre-existing vs. tow-related damage, severity, location, and a defensible audit trail. Reduces post-release dispute volume.
Predicts hammer price by year/make/model/condition/region. Suggests reserves. Flags vehicles likely to redeem before sale — saves wasted notice cost.
Cross-references plate, DMV records, insurance hits, and prior-address data to locate elusive owners. Auto-drafts certified mailers per state format.
Ask: "How many vehicles are 30+ days in the yard?" or "Revenue by tow class last quarter." Get a narrative + chart + sortable table.
Reads CAD descriptions and classifies tow class, equipment, and priority before a dispatcher touches it. High-confidence calls auto-dispatch.
Most tow software forces a choice: simple tools that break at scale, or enterprise systems that take a year to deploy. towyardIQ is both — the same platform from solo operator to multi-yard portfolio.
towyardIQ is built by MKN Web Solutions, the engineering team behind towing management platforms since 2017. Founder and lead engineer Michael Mikhjian shipped our first dispatch and impound system to A&M Towing in Detroit that year. Everything in towyardIQ comes from nine years of real yards, real tickets, and real lien deadlines.
No third-party libraries or frameworks in the stack. Nothing we didn't write, nothing we can't fix same-day.
Flat, predictable subscription. Your cost doesn't spike during a storm-event tow surge.
All 50 states pre-loaded. Notice timing, mailings, sale windows — built in, not bolted on.
Migrate from TOPS, Tracker, RanSoft, or spreadsheets. Free white-glove migration included.
Owner, Dispatcher, Driver, Yard Clerk, Accountant, Auditor. Your rules, your approval chains.
Manage separate impound lots and rotation contracts under one login with strict isolation.
CAD integration, rotation-log compliance, and officer portals — out of the box.
Our first customer went live in 2017. They never left.
A&M Towing & Service Center — an Official Police Garage for the City of Detroit — dispatched its first call on our software in 2017 and still runs on it today. Police-grade tow work, nine years straight. That's the bar every towyardIQ release has to clear.
Towbook and Dispatch Anywhere meter your trucks, your users, and your vehicles — then charge more the week a storm fills your yard. towyardIQ hands you the whole platform, unlimited and AI-native, and gets you started free. Switching over? It all transfers.
