Free to get started · works on any device · live in minutes.
No more five tools that don't talk to each other. Every part of the job — dispatch, yard, lien sales, compliance — runs in one console, on any device.
Live board with GPS truck view, one-tap assignment, and SLA timers. Drivers get a mobile app with only their calls — accept, navigate, capture photos, and update status from the cab.
VIN-from-photo, plate match, and AI damage tagging at intake. Drag-and-drop spot assignment with live occupancy. Itemized, state-correct release invoices in one click.
Notice timing, mailing requirements, sale windows, and statutory forms for all 50 states — pre-loaded. Notices auto-generate the day a vehicle qualifies, so you never miss a deadline.
A watchdog tracks every notice deadline, license, and inspection date — and alerts before a violation, not after. Every release leaves a defensible, audit-ready trail.
No sales call, no demo to sit through, no long onboarding. Create an account and start running tows today.
Sign up in under a minute. No setup call and no sales demo required — you're in.
Add your trucks, rates, and state. Your state's lien-sale rules are already built in — nothing to configure.
Dispatch, intake, store, and bill — from the call-out to the auction hammer, all in one place.
towyardIQ isn't a startup's first guess at towing. Founder and lead engineer Michael Mikhjian has been building dispatch and impound software for working tow yards since 2017, starting with A&M Towing — an Official Police Garage for the City of Detroit. They're still running on our software today.
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. Nine years of police-grade tow work is the track record towyardIQ is built on.
Towbook, Dispatch Anywhere, and Autura 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.

Unlimited trucks, users, vehicles, and yards — free during our early release.
Yes. We're in early release, and you can create an account and run your operation with unlimited access — no commitment to get started.
Most yards are running the same day. Create your account, add your trucks and rates, pick your state, and go. There's nothing to install on a server.
No. You can start fresh and run new tows today. When you're ready to bring history over from TOPS, Tracker, RanSoft, Beacon, or spreadsheets, our team can help.
All 50. Every state's lien-sale notice timing, mailing requirements, sale windows, and statutory forms are built into the platform.
A browser, or an iPhone. Drivers can grab the towyardIQ app from the App Store, and everyone else can install it straight from the browser on any phone, tablet, or desktop. It keeps working when the cell signal drops.
towyardIQ is engineered entirely in-house — no third-party libraries or frameworks anywhere in the stack, so there's no dependency supply chain to attack and no framework vulnerabilities to inherit. Your yard's data is isolated, encrypted in transit and at rest, and every change is logged. The same team has built and maintained tow platforms to this standard since 2017.
